Take Heart Counseling & Equine Assisted Therapy
Imagine learning skills that actually stick—not in a conference room, but outdoors, engaged, and fully present.
At Take Heart, your group experiences workshops, professional development, and retreats designed around your goals. Whether you’re an individual, couple, family, professional team, or organization, each experience is tailored to what you want to work on most.
Working alongside horses creates powerful, in-the-moment learning. Horses respond honestly and immediately, helping you practice real-life skills as they’re happening—not just talk about them. The result? Insight, connection, and growth that feels natural, memorable, and even fun.
Instead of lectures and slides, your group plays, reflects, and connects in nature. These playful experiences lead to meaningful, long-term impact—often becoming moments people talk about for years.
Groups come to Take Heart to strengthen:
Clear communication and deep listening
Trust, teamwork, and cooperation
Confident, compassionate leadership
Healthy conflict resolution
Balance through self-care, rest, and play
Family bonding, especially for new or blended families
Connection and healing for couples
Support through anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma
Community for veterans and specialized groups
Self-expression and personal discovery
Boundary-setting in challenging workplaces
Recovery from bullying or toxic environments
Resilience during major life changes
Growth for faith-based communities
Meaningful professional development
Trauma-informed learning connected to your work
Every experience is designed to meet your group where they are—and help them move forward together.
Equine-Guided Workshops give your family, team, or group the space to focus on what matters most right now.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen skills before challenges arise or work through existing issues, each workshop is intentionally designed around your specific goals. No two groups are the same, so your experience is fully tailored to meet your unique needs—and may also qualify for continuing education or professional development credit.
Through hands-on, equine-guided activities, your group doesn’t just talk about change—you practice it in real time. You’ll build practical skills like assertive communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution in a way that feels engaging, safe, and memorable.
These workshops help groups:
Prevent future challenges by strengthening communication and trust
Address current tensions in a constructive, supported environment
Spark meaningful conversations that don’t always happen in everyday settings
Leave with tools that can be used immediately—at home, at work, or in your community
The result is more clarity, connection, and confidence—long after the workshop ends.
Equine-Guided Corporate Retreats give your team a chance to reset, reconnect, and grow—away from the daily grind and constant demands of work.
Step out of the office and into a refreshing ranch environment where your team can relax, play, and learn together. Working alongside horses creates powerful, engaging experiences that strengthen communication, trust, and collaboration—while giving your team the mental space they rarely get in everyday work life. This is learning that feels energizing, not exhausting.
Every retreat is thoughtfully designed around your organization’s goals and may qualify for continuing education or professional development credit. Whether you’re focused on leadership, team cohesion, or navigating change, your experience is fully customized to what your team needs most.
To make this accessible and flexible, retreats are available at a variety of price points and lengths, with optional overnight stays at beautiful local inns we partner with.
The result is a meaningful, memorable retreat your team will carry back into the workplace—refreshed, aligned, and motivated.

Equine-Guided Professional Development Workshops turn learning into an engaging, hands-on experience that people actually enjoy—and remember.
Instead of sitting through another presentation, your team learns outdoors through interactive, experiential activities guided by horses. Play becomes a powerful teacher, helping participants stay present, curious, and open to growth while practicing real-world skills in the moment.
Each workshop is thoughtfully designed around the topics that matter most to your organization. Whether you’re focusing on communication, leadership, understanding trauma’s impact on those you serve, teamwork, or resilience, your group gains practical insights they can immediately bring back to their work.
The result is professional development that feels refreshing, meaningful, and effective—strengthening both individual confidence and team connection long after the day ends.
