Two Steps at a Time...Side by Side
“When a family like ours finds someone who can help our child with compassion and tenderness, and with total belief in his potential, that is a rare thing.”
-Jillian, TSR Parent
At Two Step, we offer a multifaceted approach to therapy, blending traditional in-office sessions with innovative outdoor and equine-assisted therapies. Our clients have the option to engage in Equine Assisted Learning and Psychotherapy, Riding, and Equestrian Vaulting, harnessing the healing power of interaction with horses and nature.
Moreover, our therapists are certified in specialized modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting (BSP). These techniques have demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in addressing a broad spectrum of emotional and psychological challenges, particularly trauma and PTSD. Additionally, they are beneficial for issues like anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and chronic pain.
By integrating these diverse therapeutic modalities, Two Step provides clients with tailored approaches to healing and growth, fostering resilience and empowerment on their journey toward mental well-being.

Equine Assisted Therapy is a unique form of experiential therapy that incorporates horses into the therapeutic process, with a dedicated therapist guiding the sessions. These professionals are trained not only in traditional mental health approaches but also in Equine Assisted Therapy methods. Together, they collaborate with clients to facilitate positive change, leveraging the unique bond between humans and horses to promote emotional healing and personal growth.
Our in-office sessions, led by qualified Mental Health Professionals, offer a range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Based Therapies, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy. These evidence-based approaches are tailored to address individual needs and promote healing and personal growth.
Therapeutic riding (TR) is an equine-assisted activity to contribute positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional, and social well-being of individuals. Interactive vaulting, also known as therapeutic vaulting, combines independence and teamwork, teaches individuals to respect the horse, encourages social interaction, builds confidence, and introduces exercises for balance and harmony on the horse such as kneeling and standing.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an innovative psychotherapy gaining prominence, especially in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which frequently arises following traumatic experiences. EMDR employs bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movement or tapping on either side of the body, to facilitate the processing and resolution of traumatic memories.
Brainspotting is an innovative therapy that involves identifying a specific point, or "spot," in the client's visual field where their eyes naturally fixate when recalling painful or traumatic memories. By focusing on this spot, the therapist assists the client in alleviating the distress associated with these memories, allowing for the reprocessing of emotional and physical reactions. This collaborative approach helps individuals address and resolve deep-seated trauma more effectively.
Equine Assisted Team Building offers fun, enlightening group training with horses. It strengthens teamwork, focuses on solutions, and is memorable. Participants learn to communicate, cooperate, and leverage strengths, leading to lasting impact and growth.
We are committed to providing the best therapy services in the area. We strive to help each of our clients navigate accessing the treatment they need. While our clinicians are unable to accept insurance at this time and are self pay, they do operate on a sliding scale if needed. Please reach out to individual clinician's for details!
