Our Staff
Professionalism combined with compassion is our goal. Our
staff love horses, people, and Jesus, and are educated, certified, and trained
to provide the best service to our clients. Each therapist has at least a
Master's Degree in Counseling or a related field. They are each licensed by the
state, or working towards it.
We most closely follow a model of equine assisted
therapy called Natural Lifemanship and each therapist is working towards
certification in NL because it is evidence-based and trauma-informed. Each
therapist has specific training for the clients they love working with. Ask how
we can help you find the best fit for you or your family.
