Off the Beaten Path Psychology and Wellness is pleased to share that we are expanding our in-person services. While outdoor walk-and-talk sessions have always been a core part of our practice, we recognize that many clients are also seeking comfortable and accessible indoor options. In response to this growing need, we are now offering both indoor and outdoor in-person appointments at our Cochrane location.

Our Cochrane psychologist, Nicole Couillard, provides therapy grounded in collaboration, care, and a strong respect for each client’s unique lived experience. Nicole is a local resident of Cochrane and integrates an understanding of community, environment, and personal well-being into her work. You can learn more about Nicole’s background, areas of focus, and therapeutic approach, on our website.
Current and Upcoming In-Person Availability
We provide flexible options to meet a variety of needs, preferences, and comfort levels:
Wednesdays: Outdoor walk-and-talk sessions.
Fridays: Indoor and outdoor in-person sessions are currently available.
Beginning in January: Evening indoor and/or outdoor in-person sessions will be available on Wednesdays from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This expansion is designed to support clients who prefer after-work or after-school appointment times.


Cochrane Location
All indoor sessions take place at:

The space is designed to be warm, welcoming, and conducive to meaningful therapeutic work—whether clients are seeking support with stress, life transitions, anxiety, emotional regulation, identity exploration, relationships, or general well-being.
Outdoor Walk-and-Talk Sessions
For those who find movement and nature grounding, regulating, or more comfortable than traditional office-based therapy, our outdoor sessions will continue to be offered. Many clients appreciate the opportunity to process in nature and take advantage of the local natural areas and walking paths.
Booking and Next Steps
If you have been considering starting therapy, returning to therapy, or transitioning to a new session format, this is a good time to connect. We welcome both new and returning clients.
Appointments can be requested through our website. If you are unsure which format (indoor vs. outdoor) may be the best fit, Nicole would be pleased to discuss this with you and help determine an approach that aligns with your goals and comfort.
We look forward to continuing to support the well-being of individuals and families in Cochrane and the surrounding area—both on the trail and in the therapy room.
