About the Practice

Soft Reins Counseling is a mental health practice dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy in a calm and supportive environment. Services are offered via telehealth/virtual sessions to teens and adults who are navigating stress, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Rooted in the belief that healing happens through safety, connection, and trust, Soft Reins Counseling offers thoughtfully paced, trauma-informed care that honors the whole person—not just the challenges that bring someone to therapy. The practice is inspired by the idea that meaningful growth often begins when we soften our grip, build confidence, and move forward with greater self-trust.
