About
They use evidence-based approaches like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), exposure therapy, and parent-based interventions to treat anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma, enhanced by nature-based, equine-assisted, and integrative practices. Calming Reins Counseling works with kids, teens, and adult women struggling with anxiety, depression, panic, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and trauma. They offer dynamic, individualized, and authentic counseling through traditional talk therapy, equine and nature-assisted therapy, as well as therapy groups. Sessions may include talking, skill-building with DBT or RO-DBT, trauma processing using Lifespan Integration or Trauma-Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, and creative outlets like therapeutic poetry through The Pongo Project. Calming Reins Counseling operates out of Mountain Valley Psychological Services on a quiet farm in the heart of the Snoqualmie Valley, surrounded by wide pastures, forest edges, and neighboring flower fields and cattle ranches. This is their main office location, just outside Carnation, WA, and it's where most sessions take place. In addition to the Carnation office, they also offer equine-assisted sessions at two private partner farms: Tail Spin Farm in Redmond and Blue Spruce Farm in Duvall.
