Beginning therapy can feel scary, but the relaxed atmosphere on the farm and equine therapy programs available help to make that easier. For children & teens, the animals tend to make therapy more enjoyable which can lead to greater outcomes. For those who don't want to go to a doctor's office, the farm is a perfect fit. 

Activities with the horses are always designed to meet the individual needs and goals of the client. For example, a child recovering from sexual abuse may need additional assertiveness skills; activities with the horses will be designed so this client can practice being assertive. Often times, detailed instructions are not provided for activities in order to safely & gently challenge a client to move beyond their comfort zone; the process of identifying resources & problem solving can build self confidence & encourage the use of coping skills.

Some clients also enjoy helping to care for the farm & animals while participating in sessions utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques.  Please note that therapy services never involve riding and riding is not a service covered by insurance companies. 

For the last seven years, Rose has utilized equine therapy to help clients practice the skills necessary to meet their goals in treatment & life. Rose has extensive experience in treating PTSD & has a passion for helping children & veterans recover from trauma. Her other clinical interests include: depression, anxiety, ODD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, gender identity disorders, & serving the LGBTQ Community. Rose believes that all people are deserving of happiness, healing and second chances.

Rose has always loved working in agriculture and horsemanship. She has competed in the Professional Barrel Racing Association where she holds titles as the 2D Pole Bending Champion & 4D Barrel Racing Reserve Champion for the 2011 season. Rose has a heart for rescues and the underdog; she earned her titles on a short chubby rescue horse for whom the farm is named.
