Steady Strides provides individual equine-assisted psychotherapy services in a series of 4 blocks per calendar year. Each block lasts for 10-12 weeks. Clients come for sessions once per week, usually at the same time each week.

Sessions are held Monday - Friday. Weekend sessions are not available at this time.

New clients first complete an initial intake screening via phone, and then may register for a start date in the soonest upcoming block with availability.

• New clients will complete an intake session at the start of their first block. A treatment plan and goals will be developed collaboratively with client, parent, and therapist.

• Approximately 2 weeks before the end of each block, client, parent, and therapist will evaluate progress and needs, and make a decision whether the client will complete, withdraw from, or continue the program. Participation in the program is always voluntary - clients may discontinue therapy at any time.

• Clients may receive services for up to 4 consecutive blocks (1 year).
