Caregiver Support Clinic at
Open My World Therapeutic
Riding Center
You deserve a moment to exhale.
The Caregiver Support Clinic is here to give you that space: a quiet pause, a compassionate ear, and support tailored to you. If you’re feeling stretched thin, navigating big emotions, or just need a break, visit with me in my mobile office, and let’s focus on you for a change.
Who It's For
These sessions are for any caregiver (parents, grandparents, foster parents, spouses, adult children, or anyone who provides care for another person) who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, or simply needs someone to listen.
Why It Matters
Caregivers carry a lot! Coordinating services, advocating for your loved ones, and managing everyone else’s needs often leaves very little space for your own.
This is YOUR space!
To be heard.
To be supported.
To remember that you matter too.
When
Every second Saturday of the month, starting in September.
By appointment only.
Location
Held onsite at Open My World, inside my cozy, private mobile therapy office, or online.
If your child has a session at Open My World, it’s the perfect time to schedule your own time to reset. You’re welcome to attend the Caregiver Support Clinic whether or not your child is receiving services at OMW.

Purpose and Nature of Services
