Therapy Options
Horses are incredible creatures that embody strength and gentleness. Their innate ability to sense human emotions and reflect them back creates a unique therapeutic environment. In our sessions, we harness this powerful connection to help clients develop confidence, trust, and social skills. For youth who may resist talk therapy, being with these gentle animals outdoors can unlock their true selves and foster self-efficacy.
​
Equine sessions are held at a ranch west of Longmont.​
Welcome to our innovative approach to therapy! We understand that traditional talk therapy may not resonate with every child, teenager, or adult; especially those who are resistant to speaking openly. That's why offer walk and talk therapy, which has proven to be effective for clients struggling with anxiety and depression. Whether it's at their favorite park or walking trail in the Longmont Boulder area, we create a comfortable environment for our clients to explore their feelings and engage in therapy. On chilly days, we can retreat to a nearby coffee shop to keep the conversation going over a warm drink.​
We also offer parent coaching sessions designed to enhance the therapeutic journey for both you and your child. I prioritize autonomy and confidentiality while equipping caregivers with effective strategies and tools to receive optimal outcomes of therapy. Together, we will strengthen your relationship with your child and make therapy an even more impactful experience.
​
These sessions are typically 30 minutes in length and can be conducted over the phone, video call, or we can even meet for a cup of coffee.​
