Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
I came to this work by two roads that turned out to be one. I trained as a clinical psychologist with a physics degree behind me and a lifelong love of horses beside me and for more than 30 years I've helped people change in ways that last.
When I founded Riding Far, I expected to coach elite competitors chasing a mental edge. Instead, the people who walked through my door were often carrying something heavier: fear after a bad fall, the ache of an injury, the sting of a relationship — human or equine — that had gone wrong. That taught me what my work is really about. Not fixing people, but helping them feel safe enough to be fully themselves again, and to stay connected while they do it.
Whether you sit across from me by video or beside me at the office, my promise is the same: I'll meet you where you are, take your story seriously, and help you find your way forward with honesty, warmth, and courage.

Jenna Wonish-Mottin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, RPT
Life can feel overwhelming, whether you're a child struggling to express emotions, a teen navigating social pressures, or an adult facing anxiety, relationship challenges, or the unique experience of being a Highly Sensitive Person. I offer a compassionate and creative approach to therapy, providing a safe and supportive space where you or your child can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
For children and teens, I specialize in online play therapy, using play and creativity as a natural way for them to process emotions and develop coping skills. For adults, I tailor therapy to your needs, incorporating understanding, conversation, reflection, education, skill-building, thought-based techniques, body-based techniques, and creative expressive techniques such as art, music, and sand tray, to help you gain insight, build confidence, improve relationships, and find relief from stress and self-doubt.
My approach is client-centered, meaning therapy is guided by what works best for you or your child. Together, we’ll explore challenges, uncover strengths, and create practical steps toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
