Are You Highly Sensitive? You notice the subtleties in life, feel overwhelmed or anxious often, think deeply about the world, have strong empathy or an active inner life. You might have been born with high sensitivity trait. In equine-assisted psychotherapy, self-discovery, communication, and personal authenticity are modeled and taught by the horses. Family issues including parenting, couples, and youth, highly sensitive people (HSPs), and 12 step recovery. Team building and leadership training for groups. HSPs & Horses workshops. Alane Freund has created many programs and workshops for highly sensitive people and their families.
Whether online or in the office or at the barn, I support my clients in telling their story and finding their own solutions. Equine-assisted mental health focusses on a team approach including 2-4 horses on the team. We co-create every session with our clients. Experiential and solution-oriented, this is FUN, effective therapy in nature.
As an expert in high sensitivity and anxiety, I will support and teach you how to use your finely tuned nervous system as your superpower instead of letting IT manage YOU. Equine assisted therapy is often a brief therapeutic model. With our herd of highly sensitive rescue horses, clients quickly experience insight and changed behavior. This work is amazing.

I use brief, solution-focused therapy. I draw on tools from IFS, EMDR, CBT, DBT, MBSR, also narrative and transpersonal therapies. Over 3 decades has given me a deep tool box. However, my favorite tools have come from my training and over 2 decades using equine assisted psychotherapy. We use metaphor, leadership, story telling, and somatics. With the horses, online, or in person, I use them all.
