Therapeutic Services
The Neurosequential Model guides our clinical staff to choose the therapeutic approach that best fits the child’s developmental history and the family’s needs. Because one therapeutic approach does not fit all situations, our staff utilize a variety of evidence-based and evidence informed-models.
Harmony uses a range of modalities to serve adults, families, children, and adolescents through individual, family, and group therapy. Telehealth services are available across the state of Tennessee.

This instructor creates space for individuals to experience the physical practice of yoga in a safe and trauma-sensitive environment.
Equine-assisted psychotherapy occurs on the ground with our horses, who respond to our behavior honestly and provide judgement-free feedback that talk therapy sometimes cannot.
Therapeutic Riding teaches grooming, tacking, and riding skills. The movement of the horse offers many therapeutic benefits from relaxation to balance to confidence building.
