Rebekah Sieg M.Ed LMHC
Private Therapist
I provide therapeutic care and support for children and young adults facing changes or challenges. Through my strengths-based and systems approach, I aim to provide a safe and encouraging space for each of my clients to work through their unique experiences, identify their individual strengths, find healing, explore their goals, and recognize their potential.
I offer individual counseling for the child or young adults through telehealth sessions and I am excited to soon offer in-person equine therapy sessions as well.
My areas of expertise are Grief, Anxiety, Trauma, Self-Esteem and Body Image, Life Transitions, LGBTQ+ issues, Self-Harm, ADHD, Sports Performance, School Issues, and Career Counseling.
Equine sessions will provide a unique opportunity for clients to learn how to better understand and manage emotions, and for learning specific skills for stress regulation and improving interpersonal skills such as boundaries and negative self-esteem.
If you would like to get started with telehealth sessions now, or if you would like to find out more about equine therapy sessions, please reach out to me via my Psychology Today Profile, or via e-mail.
Counseling Associate with Foundations Family Support (Cheney Clinic)
Emma Pasiuk, PhD, LMHCA, MA
As a mental health professional, my approach integrates evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Narrative therapy, Solution-Focused, and Psychodynamic modalities.
I strive to provide a safe and affirming therapeutic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their inner worlds and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves while building a genuine, respectful relationship with the horse.
Horses are powerful partners that can catalyze insight to a client’s therapeutic journey that would be otherwise unachievable in traditional talk therapy settings.
I completed my PhD in Animal Science at Texas Tech University in 2024, where my research specialized in investigating human experiences (mood state and self-efficacy) and relational dynamics (therapeutic/working alliance) during horse-human interactions in counseling and research settings.
Please keep in mind that the counseling services I provide are unmounted (no riding). If you or a loved one is seeking a non-traditional form of counseling, please reach out to me through Foundations Family Support to inquire about an intake appointment.

Hear what Excelsior has to say;
“At Excelsior Wellness, we are immensely proud of our transformative partnership with Second Chance Ranch within our MOVE Well program. This collaboration has brought hope, healing, and stability to the lives of the youth we serve. Second Chance Ranch plays a pivotal role as the sanctuary where our youth find an instant sense of peace amidst their tumultuous journeys.
Through Equine Therapy at the Ranch, our evidence-based practices have allowed these youth to embark on a path towards emotional and mental stability. Moreover, they acquire invaluable coping skills, customized to their unique needs. Second Chance Ranch stands as a beacon of support, offering a safe space where our youth connect with the horses, fostering a remarkable sense of calm and resilience.
We owe much of our success to this extraordinary partnership, and the Second Chance Ranch team's dedication to creating a haven for these youth. Together, we are providing a lifeline of stability and healing, offering a brighter future to those who need it most. This collaboration is a testament to the power of collective efforts in making a difference in young lives.”

Wild Skye Healing
Equine Gestalt Coaching & Reiki
I have been trained in the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method®. This therapeutic modality utilizes somatic experiences to assist the client in releasing trauma from the body, and the horse coach assists in processing the experience. The two-year program includes trauma-informed training and I approach the work with an emphasis on the client’s strengths and abilities, rather than a deficit-based approach. I am partnering with the Second Chance Ranch sanctuary for retired sport horses to offer this unique form of therapy.
My training also includes healing energy work as a Certified Karuna Reiki Master®. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) harnesses the unseen energy that flows through all living things and directly affects a person’s well-being. When your energy is low, it is more difficult to deal with stress. Reiki promotes stress-reduction, relaxation, and healing.
Mission Statement
To provide healing from trauma and foster feelings of significance and peace for First Responders and their families by intimately connecting with them through Coaching and Reiki. For More information, please visit the website;
