Horses are highly sensitive to movement and emotion. They act as mirrors between the leader’s behaviors and inner emotions. This deeper understanding and developed sense of connection can allow clients to release any emotional barriers that could be hindering their progress in traditional therapy. 

In addition, because the horses are so aware, this allows the clients to adopt the same level of self-awareness and self-reflection. It is a constant reminder to be present in the current moment which is a useful tool at the barn and in real life. 

why DO horses & THERAPY WORK?

Our therapists support individuals throughout pregnancy, postpartum, fertility journeys, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and the adjustment to parenthood. Several members of our team have completed specialized training through Postpartum Support International (PSI). Through evidence-based interventions, emotional support, and practical coping strategies, we help clients build resilience and care for their emotional well-being throughout the perinatal journey.

Finding Support During the Perinatal Journey

Pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood can bring significant emotional, physical, and relational changes. While this season is often expected to be joyful, many individuals experience anxiety, depression, overwhelm, identity shifts, grief, or relationship challenges.

Maternal Mental Health counseling provides a supportive space to process these experiences and navigate this chapter with greater confidence and support.

Our therapists utilize evidence-based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Treatment focuses on helping clients reduce compulsive behaviors, tolerate uncertainty, and build confidence in responding differently to intrusive thoughts so they can live more fully according to their values.






our approach to treatment

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is often misunderstood and extends far beyond being organized or liking things a certain way. While many people associate OCD with contamination fears, OCD can also involve intrusive thoughts related to harm, relationships, health, religion, sexuality, perfectionism, and uncertainty.

These obsessions often lead to compulsions, avoidance, or reassurance-seeking that interfere with daily life.

Our therapists utilize a variety of play-based interventions, including therapeutic games, expressive activities, and sand tray therapy.

Play Therapy can support children experiencing anxiety, behavioral concerns, trauma, grief, social difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, and life transitions while helping them build confidence, communication skills, and resilience.







How Play Supports Healing

Children often communicate differently than adults. Through play, children can express thoughts, feelings, and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.

Play Therapy provides a safe, developmentally appropriate environment where children can build coping skills, process emotions, and work through challenges.

Therapy focuses on improving communication, strengthening emotional connection, navigating conflict more effectively, and building a healthier foundation for long-term relationship growth.








Strengthening Communication and Connection

Relationships can be one of our greatest sources of support and connection, but they can also be impacted by communication challenges, conflict, life transitions, parenting demands, trust concerns, and other stressors. Couples Therapy provides a supportive space for partners to strengthen their relationship and navigate challenges together.

A great addition to traditional therapies. Equine Facilitated Therapy is a version of psychotherapy that involves bringing clients to a farm where they can groom, feed, and interact with the horses. This methodology has been used since Grecian times and develops a deep bond of trust and helps with emotional processing and self-esteem.

This method aims to increase closeness and friendship behaviors while addressing conflict productively and building a life of shared meaning together with your partner.



Play Therapy in North Carolina? What is it?

It is a wonderful option for those struggling with verbal skills and having difficulty regulating their emotions.

  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
