Jennifer Udler, LCSW-C is the founder of a therapy practice that incorporates walking with talk therapy. Jennifer has been practicing therapy for 21 years.  After sitting in an office for 13 of those years, she decided to move her practice outdoors.  She has since found her interactions with clients to be deeper, more uplifting and therapeutic in both mind and body. She has presented at the Innovations in Psychotherapy Conference, National Walking Summit, Psychotherapy Networker Symposium and has been  been featured in The Washington Post, on Sirius XM radio, Outside Magazine and was a guest writer for the National Recreation and Park Association. Positive Strides, LLC is based in Montgomery County, Maryland.  Visit www.PositiveStridesTherapy.com for more details.
