Therapy Services

  • Now Offering Equine Assisted Therapy

    Progressive Pathways now offers Equine Assisted Therapy at Sublime Stables near Devon, AB. This therapeutic service is designed for individuals with disabilities, behavioral challenges, or emotional regulation needs.

    Our Equine Therapy sessions help individuals:

    • Develop emotional regulation and calming strategies

    • Improve communication and social skills

    • Build self-confidence and self-awareness

    • Strengthen motor skills, balance, and coordination

    • Foster connection through structured, meaningful routines

  • Virtual Therapy Sessions

    • Get professional support from the comfort of your home. Secure, flexible, and convenient — connect with a therapist online and start feeling better today.

  • Play Therapy

    • Play therapy helps children express feelings, build confidence, and develop healthy coping skills using the language they know best — play. Through activities like art, imagination, and interactive toys, children can safely explore emotions, solve problems, and strengthen relationships.

      This approach is ideal for children experiencing anxiety, behavioural challenges, grief, trauma, or big life changes. Our therapists create a supportive space for healing and growth while working closely with caregivers to ensure progress continues at home.

      Helping children feel understood, capable, and resilient — one playful step at a time.

    This includes:

    • Personalized behavior support plans

    • Functional behavior assessments

    • Life skills and social skills coaching

    • Communication, emotional regulation, and daily routine building
