Healing Hoofbeats is a dedicated therapist and clinical social worker specializing in Equine Assisted Therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups. Through both unmounted and mounted techniques, clients are guided in navigating their challenges, whether trauma-related or not, while engaging in experiential work with horses.

Their sensitivity to non-verbal communication creates an environment where clients can heal, develop relationships, and regulate their emotions while confronting their invisible wounds.

Every client is seen as unique, deserving a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs. Additionally, Healers Hoofbeats hosts Equine Assisted Therapy groups aimed at enhancing coping skills, social skills, and peer support while addressing issues such as mental health, veteran support, domestic violence recovery, substance abuse, depression, and even corporate team building sessions!
