What can I expect in the first session?

Expect a warm, welcoming, and relaxed environment. During the first session, your provider will verbally review the informed consent and orient you to the details of the therapy process and treatment modalities.

They will then gather current and historical information related to your reason for engaging in therapy. While assessing your therapeutic needs, you will work together to identify and establish your treatment plan goals. The assessment and treatment planning may occur throughout the first few sessions.

What is mental health?
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It can affect how we think, feel, and act. Being healthy emotionally can promote productivity and effectiveness in work, school, or caring for yourself and others.
How do I pick the right therapist for me?

Picking the right therapist can seem challenging and overwhelming at times. The “About” section gives a snapshot of our providers you can view before scheduling your first appointment. We encourage you to call our office for an initial consultation to discuss your individual needs so we can help determine the best fit for you.

What is the typical length of the therapy sessions?
Your treatment plan determines our typical length and frequency of therapy sessions. Most sessions are up to 50 minutes in length.
Why do you use horses in therapy?

Horses are highly intuitive and sensitive beings with a unique ability to connect to help you become present-focused and use externalized problem-solving strategies.

Equine-assisted therapy can help provide an enhanced experience of warmth and trust within the relationship between yourself and your provider and allows you to engage in therapy in a non-traditional setting.

Engaging with horses is not mandatory and will only be incorporated into therapy if it suits you.
