Welcome to the Pod
We’re all in this together.
Live With Vitality
Mental health and physical health go together like two peas in a pod. Sun and sand. Yin and yang. Bananas and pancakes.
At Pod Health, our goal is to allow people to live with vitality. We want you to live out your values. To have resilience on the tough days, and more energy on the days where you eagerly jump out of bed.
By giving therapists and clients a space to create meaningful relationships, we help people live better. Integrative programs that combine mental health counseling and physical exercise allow our therapists to go beneath the surface to get to the root of what’s holding you back. Together, we help you navigate rough waters and overcome challenges that lead to higher self-esteem, a toolkit of coping skills, and enhanced social functioning. So you can get back on the board and let your dreams set sail.
Work out your body and your mind at Pod Health. We’re always here for you.
Meet Drew Dyrssen
So you’re curious about my story, huh? My background as a therapist is in the treatment of PTSD and anxiety disorders.
Throughout my experience working with trauma clients, I noticed that a majority of them lacked consistent physical activity. Around the same time, I dove into mental wellness research focused on the effects physical activity has on depression and anxiety. My curiosity was piqued.
I began incorporating walks into my counseling sessions and noticed the impacts immediately. My clients were in better moods after our walks, and the increase in moods led to more creativity and flexibility in their thinking during sessions.
The rest is history as they say. Realizing the use of physical exercise as an effective treatment for depression and anxiety, I created Pod Health. Join me in helping to destigmatize mental health counseling and, together, let’s make the world a happier place!
