If you are requesting mental health counseling, you do not need a referral and can skip this step.

You can call and request that order from the provider and have them fax it to us at (509) 340-9942.

We love Stepping Stones!!!! My son has been coming for several years and receives a couple services. They have been an amazing support for my son and for me! 😊 The staff is wonderful and we always feel right at home. My son has grown and been able to find success. Most importantly, he feels good about himself and is not overwhelmed with some of the challenges he faces. We are so thankful for the gift of Stepping Stones!

I previously worked at Stepping Stones Pediatric as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I found it to be an excellent company to work for. As an employee I found the leadership very supportive, the benefits to be good and the other therapist I worked with was an excellent clinician who approached her work in the most professional manner and who maintained good relationships with her clients.

Our daughter has been attending Stepping Stones since she was 4 months old. Her OT, PT, and ST have been an integral part of the success she’s had and the entire staff is always welcoming and helpful. If I ever have questions or need clarification, they provide it. They are understanding and open to working with parents on finding out what the best care plan is for each child. We love SSPT!

Horrific experience. The counselor was amazing, the front desk gal on the other hand, not so good. My children finally found someone they were comfortable with and started talking about their stressors. Their father started attending (made everyone uncomfortable), and after the second time, I received a call stating services were being discontinued because the front desk gal heard the kids’ dad and I arguing and whispering bad things about one another under our breath. Absurd! We didn’t speak and if anyone was speaking under their breath, how would someone on the opposite side of the room hear

We have been so grateful for the amazing team at Stepping Stones! The interest and care in giving their best to their patients is truly evident. The clinic is extremely clean which I greatly appreciate having a medically fragile child. The staff works very hard collaborating together to make sure the correct support is being offered to their patients. They always have new tools and ideas for expanding their therapies. We are very thankful to have them be apart of our sons care team!!! 💙
