Dr. Susanne Eyman, a Lawrence psychologist, offers “Walking and Talking,” therapy groups for people with depression and anxiety.

The groups combine walking with more traditional insight-oriented, cognitive and behavioral techniques.

Eyman said that while psychotherapy and medications commonly and effectively are used to treat depression, anxiety and the stresses and problems of everyday life, contemporary research has shown that exercise decreases such problems while also boosting self-esteem, mental clarity and creativity.

Groups meet at 1012 Mass. For more information, contact Eyman at 856-5060.
