💚 I invite you to create and move through your world… and explore it from a new perspective. 💚

🐴 Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy

What can a session look like? The truth is, every session is different.

One example is CREATE — creating a space that represents yourself, your relationships, or your life.

Sometimes our thoughts, emotions, and experiences become so tangled inside us that it’s difficult to make sense of them. In the arena, we have the opportunity to take what is swirling in our minds and create it in the physical world. By externalizing our inner experience in a safe, supportive environment, we can begin to see the bigger picture without feeling so overwhelmed.

As you move through the world you’ve created, new perspectives often begin to emerge. Every object—and often each horse—takes on its own meaning, reflecting parts of your life, your strengths, your relationships, or the challenges you’re facing.

The horses help remind us we are not alone in our worlds. - What would your world look like today? 🫶🏻

Come create at Prairie River Counseling. 🌾

💚 I invite you to move the parts of yourself that feel stuck. 💚

🐴 Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy

What does a session look like?

The truth is… every session is different.

One example is MOVEMENT—a reminder that you have the power to move what feels frozen, helpless, or stuck.

Sometimes we become trapped in patterns, emotions, or seasons of life where we feel like we just… can’t… move.

How many times have you sat in an office, talking through the same struggle over and over, yet still feeling stuck?

Now imagine stepping into the herd.

As you move your body, the horses move with you. They invite awareness, presence, and new perspectives. Sometimes the simple act of physically moving through an experience can help shift what words alone have struggled to reach.

Healing doesn’t always happen sitting in a chair.

Sometimes healing begins with taking one step… and letting the herd walk beside you. 🫶🏻

Come feel empowered to MOOOVE again at Prairie River Counseling. 🌾

💚 I invite you to slow down and just NOTICE. Pause and get curious. What are you noticing about these horses in this moment 💚

🐴 Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy

What can a session look like? Well, every session is different.

One example is OBSERVE — The art of just NOTICING.

Sometimes we get so overwhelmed or lost in the the chaos of life. We start the habit of “go go go” and we forget how to settle into the moment. To settle in and notice. For when we begin to slow down and observe we can rediscover what is means to feel again… or hear the answers with in us again.

The horses help remind us to slow down and notice. - What do you notice about the horses today? 🫶🏻

Come slow down in life at Prairie River Counseling. 🌾

🌿 What is Eco-Therapy? 🌿

When I speak of nature, I am not just speaking about the tree in your backyard. I am speaking of all organic systems such as plants, animals, bugs, bacteria, the air we breathe, and yes, even us humans.

It important to note as humans, our immune system is a sensory organ. Whether through exposure to trauma or living a busy life, our sensory systems can become unregulated. Leaving parts of us in a state of hyperarousal or feeling numb. Reconnecting with nature, is tapping into our ability to inherently reconnect back into the system. Allowing our sensory organ to once again become regulated. Allowing us to once again be whole.

I truly believe nature is vitality, nature is home. When we disconnect from the energetic systems around us, we are disconnecting from the very essence of life itself. Nature is a conscious mind. To heal is to make whole, and we are not whole when we have disconnected from the conscious mind of nature. When I invite you to be with nature, I am inviting you back to life, back to home.

✨Coming this October Prairie River Counseling/The Oracle Herd and Transcending Yoga have partnered to offer a day workshop at Stone State Park Lodge. - From Broken Ground: Where Strength Takes Root

This is a foundational loss and resiliency group for individuals who have experienced any form of loss in their life. This day workshop is inspired by and will be guided by nature itself. 🌾
