About Us
At Lead Changes Recovery & Equine Therapy Center, we believe true healing begins when people rediscover their worth, rebuild trust, and find the courage to step forward with confidence. Our Why
We exist to create a safe place where individuals can heal, grow, and find hope. By walking alongside people in their recovery journey, we guide them to reconnect with themselves, others, and the w

orld around them. Every session is built on compassion, respect, and the belief that change is possible for anyone willing to take the first step. What We Do
Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) Services
As a DOT SAP provider, we help employees navigate Department of Transportation (DOT) and non-DOT return-to-duty processes with professionalism, clarity, and care. Our SAP services are designed to ensure compliance while prioritizing personal accountability and long-term recovery, while supporting them as they get back to work. Through guided equine-assisted therapy sessions, clients learn trust, communication, boundaries, and self-awareness in a hands-on, experiential way. Horses mirror human emotions, offering honest feedback that leads to breakthroughs in personal growth, leadership, and recovery. Addictions Counseling
We provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling for individuals and families impacted by addiction. Our approach combines clinical expertise with relational support, enabling clients to uncover the root causes of their issues, develop resilience, and create sustainable recovery plans. Our Approach
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we combine professional counseling, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and equine therapy to meet clients where they are. Every individual is unique, and we design personalized pathways that honor each person’s story, strengths, and goals. Who We Serve
Individuals seeking recovery from addiction - First Responders, Youth to Adults

Employees and employers navigating the SAP process

Families affected by substance use

Community members looking for growth through equine-assisted therapy with their mental health professional

Team Building and Leadership Workshops

Education and Training in Substance Use, Safety, and Trends

We work with clients and families who are involved with CPS and the Courts. Why Horses, Why Us
The name Lead Changes comes from horsemanship, where a horse shifts its leading leg mid-stride. Just like in life, those changes can be difficult but necessary for moving forward smoothly. At Lead Changes Recovery & Equine Therapy Center, we help people make their own lead changes—transformations that allow them to live with purpose, freedom, and hope.

🌟 Exciting News from Lead Changes Recovery & Equine Assisted Therapy Center! 🌟

For years, I have followed the work of Equimotional and admired their innovative approach to personal growth, healing, and equine-assisted learning. I am excited to share that I have officially enrolled in the Equimotional Coaches Certification Course and will begin this 10-week journey on June 16th!

As many of you know, I am passionate about lifelong learning and bringing the best possible services to our clients. This training will provide new tools, insights, and opportunities to expand the ways we help individuals grow, heal, and discover their strengths through meaningful interactions with horses.

🐴 What does this mean for Lead Changes?
Upon completion of the certification, we will begin offering Equine-Assisted Coaching Sessions on a cash-pay basis. These sessions are designed to help individuals:
✨ Build confidence and self-awareness
✨ Improve communication and relationships
✨ Develop leadership skills
✨ Navigate life transitions and challenges
✨ Strengthen emotional resilience
✨ Discover personal growth through experiential learning

Unlike therapy, coaching focuses on helping individuals move forward, identify goals, and create meaningful change in their lives—all with the powerful partnership of horses.

I am incredibly excited to bring these new opportunities to our community and look forward to sharing my learning journey along the way.

Stay tuned for updates, course insights, and information about upcoming coaching services!

You Can and You Will

Recovery is not about being perfect. It’s about showing up, even on the days when it feels hard.

Every healthy choice, every meeting attended, every honest conversation, every time you choose growth over old habits—you are proving to yourself that change is possible.

The truth is, you are stronger than you think. You have survived difficult days before, and you have the ability to keep moving forward.

At Lead Changes Recovery & Equine Assisted Therapy Center, we believe healing happens one step, one choice, and one day at a time. The journey may not always be easy, but you don’t have to walk it alone.

✨ Keep believing in yourself.
✨ Keep doing the work.
✨ Keep moving forward.

Because you can.
And you will.

🩵 S.O.S. for Your Mind 🩵

Recovery isn’t just about changing behaviors—it’s about learning how to respond differently to the thoughts, emotions, and challenges that show up every day.

When life feels overwhelming, try this simple S.O.S. approach:

🛑 STOP – Pause and recognize the thought or feeling.
👀 OBSERVE – Notice what you’re telling yourself and how it’s affecting you.
➡️ SHIFT – Choose a healthier response, coping skill, or action that moves you toward the life you want.

The truth is, we all have moments when our minds become our toughest critics. Recovery teaches us how to replace self-judgment with self-awareness and self-compassion.

At Lead Changes Recovery & Equine Assisted Therapy Center, we believe healing happens when you learn to be as kind to yourself as you are to everyone else.

Remember:

❤️ Your thoughts matter.
❤️ Your feelings matter.
❤️ Your recovery matters.
❤️ Most importantly—you matter.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let us walk beside you on your journey toward healing, growth, and lasting recovery.

🌳 The Tree of Addiction

Many people see addiction as the problem. But often, addiction is just the visible branch.

The roots run much deeper.

Trauma. Grief. Shame. Fear. Abandonment. Loneliness. Neglect. Unresolved pain.

When we focus only on stopping the behavior, we’re trimming branches. True healing happens when we begin exploring and healing the roots.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe recovery is about more than abstinence. It’s about understanding the story beneath the struggle, building healthy coping skills, processing life’s experiences, and creating a foundation for lasting change.

Every person’s tree looks different. Every recovery journey is unique. But healing is possible when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with you?” and start asking, “What happened to you?”

You are not your addiction.
You are not your mistakes.
You are not your worst day.

You are a person worthy of healing, growth, and recovery.

❤️‍🩹 Let us help you get to the root of the struggle and discover the life waiting beyond it.

Healing doesn’t take you back. It moves you forward. ❤️‍🩹

One of the biggest misconceptions about recovery and healing is that the goal is to become the person you were before the pain, trauma, addiction, loss, or struggle.

But healing isn’t about going backward.

It’s about becoming someone new—someone stronger, wiser, more self-aware, and more resilient because of what you’ve overcome.

The journey may change you, but that isn’t a failure. That’s growth.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe healing is not about erasing your story. It’s about learning from it, finding meaning in it, and using it to build a life that aligns with who you are becoming.

You don’t have to return to who you were.

You can become someone even better.

❤️‍🩹 Hope. Healing. Change. One step at a time.

05/30/2026

Healing starts when we learn to give ourselves the same compassion, patience, and grace we so freely give to others. ❤️‍🩹

Recovery is about more than leaving something behind—it’s about learning to rebuild trust with yourself, finding your worth again, and becoming the person you were always meant to be.

You are not your mistakes.
You are not your worst day.
You are worthy of healing, growth, and a life you love.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe real change begins when you decide to become the one who supports, believes in, and loves yourself enough to keep going—even on the hard days.

Be the one who loves you the most. The journey is worth it. 🐴

❤️‍🩹 Hope. Healing. Change. One step at a time.

🌄 Recovery doesn’t just change one life — it creates ripples of healing.

When someone chooses recovery, the benefits often reach far beyond themselves. Families begin to heal. Trust slowly rebuilds. Relationships strengthen. Children, partners, friends, coworkers, and entire communities feel the impact of one person choosing a different path.

Recovery starts with you — but the hope, healing, and growth don’t stop there.

At Lead Changes Recovery, we believe healing is possible, and no one should have to walk the road alone. Whether you’re taking your first step or rebuilding after setbacks, we are here to support you with individualized care, addiction counseling, trauma-informed support, equine-assisted therapy options, and real conversations rooted in hope.

✨ One choice. One step. One day at a time.
And those steps matter more than you know.

💜 Heal. Grow. Change. One Step at a Time.

What we tell ourselves matters.

The words we repeat in our minds can either keep us stuck… or help us heal.

Recovery, healing, and growth often begin with changing the story we tell ourselves.

➡️ “I’ll never change” becomes “I’m learning.”
➡️ “I’m broken” becomes “I’m healing.”
➡️ “I’ve failed too many times” becomes “I’m still trying.”

At Lead Changes Recovery, we know the battles people fight are often invisible. Negative thoughts, shame, trauma, anxiety, addiction, and self-doubt can become loud. But healing is possible — and change starts one thought, one choice, and one step at a time.

“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.”

You are not your worst day.
You are not your mistakes.
You are capable of growth, healing, and becoming the person you want to be.

Let us walk alongside you. ❤️‍🩹
