The practice offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with specialized training in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, dissociation, eating disorders, and complex trauma presentations. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also offered. Alongside these evidence-based approaches, the practice incorporates alternative and experiential interventions including music, art, movement, nature-based methods, and equine-assisted therapy, providing a range of modalities suited to different client preferences and needs.
Reis has clinical experience across group homes, schools, outpatient clinics, and residential treatment facilities, reflecting work in both community and institutional settings. The practice serves clients from age five through sixty, addressing anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, family conflict, relationship issues, stress, and trauma. Additional areas of background include work with veterans and their families, as well as training in disordered eating and OCD.
Beyond direct client services, the practice offers professional resiliency development training, reflecting Reis’s engagement with professional and organizational contexts as well as individual clinical work.
No specific information about telehealth availability or insurance acceptance is provided on the practice website. No year of establishment is stated. Reis’s academic background in Anthrozoology, the study of human-animal relationships, is reflected in the practice’s inclusion of equine-assisted therapy alongside more conventional office-based modalities, distinguishing Stride by Stride from practices offering only talk-based approaches. The breadth of age range served, from age five through sixty, combined with clinical experience across school, group home, outpatient, and residential treatment settings, indicates a generalist orientation within a specialist modality focus.
