“The True Self is not our creation, but God’s. It is the self we are in our depths. It is our capacity for divinity and transcendence.”
– Sue Monk Kidd

Who Can Benefit from
Equine-Assisted Mental Health Services?
(Also Referred to as Equine Therapy or Horse Therapy)
Our fully licensed mental health professionals and experienced certified equine professionals partner with a herd of horses on a quiet, safe and private ranch north of Austin, Texas to provide mental health services to adults and children. Our model is science-based and proven. We have been providing these services since 2015 and have witnessed first hand the powerful healing nature of this work.
Sometimes it is necessary for adults, teens and/or children to seek help with mental health. This service is also referred to as “Therapy” or “Counseling” and is defined as “the treatment of mental or psychological disorders by psychological means”.
Our team of licensed mental health professionals (LPC, LMSW, PhD) partner with trained and certified equine professionals to provide services to clients who are dealing with the symptoms of past traumas that often include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress, attachment disorders, insomnia, panic attacks and relationship struggles. Traumas can include medical procedures or diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, car accident, relational abuse, childhood neglect, maternal stress in the womb, war, divorce and more.
What We Offer
The fully licensed mental health professionals offer equine, art and nature therapy. This is “real” therapy that is experiential, meaning that our clients actually experience sensations waking up inside the body that indicate safety and healing. We do all of our work in a natural quiet private setting that provides the opportunity for human brains to regulate and begin to heal. Activities taking place during therapy sessions are specifically targeted to therapeutic goals which are set during intake sessions and are re-evaluated throughout the process. Often our therapy teams work in tandem with Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals.
We facilitate this process of healing by working with horses, primarily on the ground in a variety of settings, in order to reconnect via safe authentic relationship with ourselves and others. This modality causes new neuro-pathways to form in the brain; this is not a band aid. The brain learns that it is safe and can release the fight/flight/freeze/appease triggered responses that often cause the symptoms listed above.
We offer one-hour, two-hour session plus one day, two day and three day immersions with lodging working with individuals, families and couples. To schedule contact the therapists directly. Sessions are normally $175-$225.
