Like braiding a tail, healing is an art of patience✨
Each strand—our experiences, struggles, and hopes—is gently woven together. Horses remind us that nothing needs to be rushed; with steady hands and an open heart, what was once loose and untethered becomes whole, strong, and beautiful again.

We are thrilled to celebrate Aubrey Zimmer on passing her licensing exam with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences and officially becoming a fully licensed therapist on July 31st, 2025!
Earning full licensure in California is no small feat. It begins with years of academic dedication—first a bachelor’s degree, then a rigorous master’s program in counseling or marriage and family therapy. From there, candidates complete over three thousand clinical hours under supervision of a fully licensed clinician. They are required to meet for at least 104 weeks with their supervisors for guidance, all the while balancing the demands of client care with ongoing training and professional development in between. And this doesn’t include the personal growth journey every clinician makes along the way!
After years of hard work, the journey culminates in passing the BBS licensing exam—a challenging four hour long test of clinical knowledge, laws, ethics, and judgment. Aubrey’s accomplishment reflects countless hours of studying, a deep commitment to growth, and a steadfast passion for helping others heal.
Congratulations, Aubrey! Your dedication and perseverance inspire us all, and we are so excited to see the impact you will continue to make in the lives of those you serve.

Tailwinds Therapy offers a dynamic approach to helping individuals, couples, and families overcome their struggles through providing services that include both traditional in-office therapy sessions as well as a more hands-on approach to therapy through providing Equine Assisted Psychotherapy services.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) combines certified mental health treatment in partnership with horses to provide an alternative to traditional talk therapy. This service is different than therapeutic riding as it is provided using ground-based therapy interventions that are focused on reducing mental heath symptoms such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, PTSD, and difficulty during life changes.
Tailwinds Therapy was started by Caitlin Lowry in 2019. Caitlin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with years of experience treating trauma-related mental health issues throughout Fresno County. Caitlin maintains an active certification through the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) to provide EAP services and is committed to continued education and learning to continue the development of this field. All EAP sessions also include a qualified equine specialist in additional to the therapist as part of the treatment team.
Services are available for individuals, couples, families, and groups (based on availability). Current weekday openings are available as of Feb 17, 2020. Call 387-4367 or visit www.tailwindstherapy.com to learn more!
No previous horse experience is necessary to benefit from services.
