Co-locating Outpatient Counseling and Fitness Services for Mental Health Treatment

An interview with Brendan Kelly, Owner and CEO of The Well Being Counseling and Fitness Center and Dr. Ben Davidson, Chair of The Well Being Foundation Board of Directors and a practicing physician.

And so we work with people, kind of try to meet them where they're at and come up with a concrete plan for movement for them, which then, when it's finished, the client gets a copy of the movement plan, and the therapist gets a copy of the movement plan. And then, on an ongoing basis, the therapist will review the plan with the client. If the client is doing well with the plan, they're exercising, they're moving their bodies, then the therapist is is really saying, How do you feel?” Because that's our focus. We always want to bring the exercise back to how does it make you feel?
