💙 Men’s Mental Health Month 💙

June is Men’s Mental Health Month, a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage conversations that can save lives.
Many men are taught to be strong, stay quiet, and handle struggles on their own. But true strength is recognizing when support is needed and having the courage to reach out.
Mental health challenges do not discriminate. Stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life transitions can affect anyone. Yet many men are less likely to seek help due to fear of judgment or societal expectations.

At Healing Trails, we want every man to know:
✔️ It's okay to talk about what you're feeling.
✔️ It's okay to ask for help.
✔️ It's okay to prioritize your mental health.
✔️ You do not have to carry everything alone.

Whether you're struggling, supporting someone who is, or simply learning more, awareness creates understanding and connection.
This month, let's encourage the men in our lives to check in with themselves and each other. Sometimes a simple conversation can make all the difference.

💙 Your mental health matters.
💙 Your story matters.
💙 You matter.

Honoring Juneteenth ❤️🖤💚

Today, Healing Trails recognizes and celebrates Juneteenth, a day commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and the enduring pursuit of freedom, equality, and justice.

At Healing Trails, we believe healing begins with connection, understanding, and compassion. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where people from all backgrounds can find support, hope, and a path forward.
As we reflect on this important day, may we continue learning from one another, celebrating diversity, and working toward a future rooted in equity and belonging for all.

Please join us in giving a warm welcome to Elyse as she joins the Healing Trails family! We are excited to have her join our community and look forward to the compassion, energy, and unique gifts she will bring to those we serve. Welcome, Elyse—we're so happy you're here and can't wait to see the positive impact you'll make! 💚🐴🌿

Hello,

My name is Elyse Pflieger, a proud graduate of The University of Findlay, Class of 2026, where I earned my degree in Equine Science. My passion for horses began at the age of six and continues to inspire both my personal and professional journey.

Originally from Clarkston, Michigan, I now proudly call Ohio home. Alongside my dedication to the equine industry, I am passionate about building connections and supporting others through my experiences with anxiety and ADHD.

Horses have played a life-changing role in helping me grow in confidence, resilience, and perseverance. My goal is to inspire others by sharing the positive impact horses can have on personal growth and mental well-being.

Please join us in welcoming Courtney to the Healing Trails family! We are excited to have her as part of our team and look forward to the compassion, dedication, and unique strengths she brings to our clients and community. We are grateful to have her join us as we continue our mission of promoting healing, growth, and connection. Welcome, Courtney—we're so happy you're here! 🌿💚🐴

Courtney brings more than a decade of professional horse
training experience to Healing Trails Counseling Center.
Having ridden since childhood and competed across
multiple disciplines including dressage, western all-
around events, and reining, she developed a lifelong
passion for understanding horses and helping them reach
their full potential.

After attending the University of Findlay and earning her
Open card in reining competition, Courtney worked under
respected NRHA professional trainers before establishing
her own training business, Sheely Show Horses.
Throughout her career, she has started young horses,
developed competitive equine athletes and helped riders
build confidence and partnership with their horses.
What sets Courtney apart is her ability to recognize the
unique strengths of both horses and people. She believes
that every horse learns differently and that meaningful
progress begins with trust, communication, and
understanding. Her approach focuses on developing
strong foundations, creating confidence, and helping both
horse and human succeed as a team.

Throughout her career, Courtney became known for her
ability to match horses with the right riders and families.
She believes success comes not from forcing a horse into
a role, but from recognizing its individual strengths and
helping it thrive. Whether working with a c**t, a seasoned
show horse, or a first-time horse owner, her focus has
always been on building trust, developing confidence, and
helping both horse and human discover their potential.
As an Equine Specialist, Courtney combines her extensive
horsemanship background with a deep appreciation for
the lessons horses can teach. She is passionate about
creating experiences that encourage self-awareness,
growth, connection, and confidence through interaction
with horses.
