Individual child therapy and adolescent therapy at Unbridled Chances involves 1:1 sessions between your child and Dr. Yule, a licensed pediatric psychologist. Sessions are available in-person and via telehealth throughout California. As an experienced child psychologist, Dr. Yule creates a safe, accepting space where children and teens can explore their strengths, understand their challenges, and build lasting coping skills.

As a child psychologist and pediatric psychologist, Dr. Yule specializes in treating anxiety in children, childhood depression, ADHD, behavioral difficulties, and everyday stressors and life transitions in youth. She is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Therapy, Biofeedback, and Family Systems-based approaches — evidence-based methods proven effective in child therapy.

Dr. Yule also has specialized training as a pediatric psychologist working with youth managing chronic medical conditions, helping children and teens adjust and build confidence alongside their diagnosis. She also has expertise in Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and child feeding difficulties — supporting children and families navigating extreme picky eating, food refusal, and the anxiety and stress that surrounds mealtimes.

Family therapy at Unbridled Chances focuses on improving the dynamics of the family unit — particularly the relationship between parents and children. As a licensed child psychologist and family therapist, Dr. Yule uses attachment-based and family systems therapy approaches to improve parent-child communication, resolve conflict, and build greater resilience within the family.

Families seek out family therapy during times of stress and transition, when communication has broken down, when a child’s behavioral or emotional challenges are affecting the whole family, or simply when parents want to feel more connected and supported in their roles. Family therapy is a collaborative, strengths-based process tailored to each family’s unique needs.

Parent coaching — sometimes called parent therapy — helps parents and caregivers build the skills, confidence, and strategies needed to support their children’s emotional and behavioral health. Parenting is one of the most demanding roles there is, and no child comes with a how-to guide. Dr. Yule, a licensed pediatric psychologist, offers parent coaching designed to meet your family where you are — in-person or via telehealth.

Parent therapy sessions at Unbridled Chances provide psychoeducation and concrete parenting tools tailored to your child’s specific needs — whether your child is struggling with anxiety, ADHD, behavioral challenges, or other difficulties. Sessions help you identify your unique strengths as a caregiver and equip you with practical techniques to raise a resilient, emotionally healthy child.

“In the quiet strength of horses, discover your own resilience and the courage to face life’s challenges.”

Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) — commonly known as equine therapy or horse therapy — is a unique, experiential, relational, and somatic-based approach to mental health that focuses on well-being, healing, and growth. At Unbridled Chances, Dr. Yule incorporates horses into child therapy, adolescent therapy, and family therapy sessions to help clients develop new skills and coping strategies.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, equine therapy allows participants to learn about themselves — thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships — while practicing skills hands-on through guided interactions with horses. This makes horse therapy particularly powerful for children and teens who struggle to engage in traditional office-based therapy.

At Unbridled Chances, horses are not tools in the therapy process — they are partners and co-facilitators in every equine therapy session. As prey animals that live fully in the present moment, horses are natural experts in non-verbal communication and emotional attunement. In horse therapy sessions, they provide non-judgmental, honest, and immediate feedback that creates meaningful breakthroughs for children and families.

EFP can be used as stand-alone therapy or in combination with traditional child therapy or family therapy sessions. Dr. Yule is certified in Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy through The HERD Institute.

Meet Chance

Chance is Dr. Yule’s equine partner and co-facilitator in every Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy session. More than just a therapy horse, Chance is a collaborator — attuned, present, and extraordinarily perceptive.

Like all horses, Chance lives entirely in the present moment. He responds to what clients bring into the space — their energy, their emotions, their body language — with honesty and without judgment. His reactions become a mirror, reflecting back something true about the person standing with him, often before they’ve found the words themselves.

Working alongside someone who has known Chance for years — who understands his personality, his sensitivities, and his strengths — means clients can feel safe and supported from the very first session.
