Behind every transformative session at Walk Intuit is a clinician who’s done the work themselves. 🐴✨

Our newest cohort is currently completing our signature two-day equine-assisted therapy training, SHINE, the same immersive experience every Walk Intuit clinician goes through before working with clients.

From nervous system regulation to relational attunement with our herd, this training grounds our team in the somatic, trauma-informed foundations that make our work so powerful. 🩡

‼️ And here’s something exciting: we’re working toward opening this training to outside clinicians in the near future. If you’ve been curious about integrating equine-assisted therapy into your practice, keep your eyes on this space. πŸ‘€

🌿 Meet Madison Baird: Supporting Children, Teens, and Couples with Integrative Mental Health Care. 🌿

✨ We're excited to welcome Madison Baird, PCC Trainee (supervised by Cassandra Seidler, LCSW #117734), to Walk Intuit's clinical team. Madison specializes in working with children (ages 12 and under), adolescents, and couples, using an integrative psychotherapy approach that combines equine-assisted therapy, somatically oriented practices, and mindfulness-based interventions.

Her training reflects Walk Intuit's commitment to embodied, relationally attuned care that meets clients where they are.🀍

As part of our community-centered model of care, Madison receives weekly supervision and ongoing training in trauma-informed practices, attachment-based therapies, and expressive arts modalities. At Walk Intuit, clients aren't just working with one clinician; they're supported by an entire team of seasoned practitioners committed to holistic healing.✨

When considering what she's walking into this year, she states: This year, I am walking into grounded presence and intentional care, holding space for growth and healing in its own time as I journey alongside my clients with compassion and curiosity.

🌿 Ready to start your therapy journey?

Whether you're seeking support for your child, teen, or relationship, let's walk into healing together.

New year. New possibilities. But first, let's honor what's real.

If you're carrying the weight of complex trauma, anxiety, or depression into 2026, you're not alone, and you don't have to white-knuckle your way through another year hoping things will somehow feel different.

Maybe you're exhausted from managing symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere. Maybe relationships feel complicated, your nervous system feels constantly on edge, or you're tired of feeling disconnected from the life you actually want to be living.

Healing isn't one-size-fits-all. Neither is our approach.

Our trauma-informed clinicians are trained in equine-assisted therapy, sand tray, art therapy, depth psychology, dream work, talk therapy, Internal Family Systems, somatic therapy, and more. We draw from multiple modalities because we understand that your healing journey is uniquely yours.

Our focus? Meeting you exactly where you are and helping traumatic imprints move through you, so you can live with greater vitality and inner peace.

We have openings for individual and group therapy right now.

If you're ready to bolster your life and claim your most alive self this year, not by bypassing what's hard, but by finally having the support to move through it, we'd be honored to walk alongside you.

Your healing journey deserves trauma-informed care that truly sees you.

πŸ“ Locations in San Juan Capistrano & Costa Mesa
πŸ’š Multiple modalities. One compassionate approach.

DM us or visit our website at walkintuit.org to schedule a consultation. Let's make 2026 the year you come home to yourself.
