As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe the counseling process is much like a journey and is a collaborative effort between the therapist and the individual, couple, or family. My counseling style is dependent on the needs of each unique individual and their goals. Therefore the counseling process will be different for each person, but my role as a therapist, to guide and encourage, remains the same. In the first few sessions, we will work to discover where you would like to go on the journey and continue when you are proactively committed to getting there.

Kathy Owen

Let me take a moment to describe the kind of person with whom I enjoy working. I'll call her Jamie. She was successful in many ways, but she had noticed a pattern in her relationships with men. When she looked back, she saw they didn't treat her with respect. Some of them were verbally abusive. Some of them were even physically abusive. They were completely erratic in their jobs. Drugs and alcohol were sometimes part of the problem, too. Jamie had decided it was time for change; for her own sake and for the sake of her young son.

Deborah Utterback
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, ESMHL

There are many reasons why people start therapy. Whatever your reason, I’m glad you’re here. I believe that one of the most effective methods of therapy is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP), because it is one of the quickest ways to identify problems, practice solutions, and actually make life changes. Without getting into the science of it, horses are more at peace when we are genuine. Horses don’t have to be trained to guide us to a healthier way of being, they just do. Special experiences with the horse can’t be planned; in fact the organic ways that these moments happen is the magic, and it’s exactly what us humans need.
