Marissa Cashman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
My overall approach to treatment is through a trauma-informed lens as I understand how childhood and adolescent experiences can shape self-image and relationships with the self, others, and the world around them. I'm also in the process of becoming certified in EMDR.

Elizabeth Tener
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
PTSD, trauma, and dissociative defenses are the result of abuse or shocking events. Vulnerable parts of us still carry that terror despite the fact that the abusive situations may be far in the past. Using IFS I can access those hurting parts with minimum pain and bring them compassion, curiosity, appreciation and eventually the freedom of transformation.

Back In The Saddle Ranch LLC /Creative Solutions Group Trauma Services LLC
Counselor/Therapist, MA LPC, Certified Equine Assisted Therapist, Art Therapist, CSAT/CPTT
Horses are well-suited for the therapy environment because of their natural instincts and communication methods. While humans can speak, explain, and rationalize thoughts, horses live in an entirely action-based social structure. This works well in therapy because in action-based exercises you must change your actions to change your results—horses don’t question your motives, they react to the actions you take.
Their hyper-vigilance and heavy reliance on body language is also a large part of the counseling process. Horses are significantly more aware of body language than humans and more readily recognize and react to levels of anger, anxiety, fear, or sadness that are imperceptible to humans. This provides real-time feedback for the participant and the therapist.
There is no magic or mystery as to the use of horses in therapy. They’re therapy partners that simply have the natural perception, response, and inclination to allow participants to try new communication strategies.

Vida Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, EMDR II
It’s like a video stuck on a loop that keeps playing over, and over, and over… You can’t get the images out of your head. Looking over your shoulder, being easily frightened; it wasn’t you before, but it is now. Things look bleaker than they did before it happened. Remembering or not remembering, you’re unsure of which is worse. Is this your new normal? To others, you look like you’re keeping it together. It couldn’t be farther from the truth. You’re hiding behind a thin veil of normalcy and you're worried about what would happen if the curtain were pulled back. It’s barely masking the complex emotions that you fear will come flooding out of you.
So is there any good news? Yes! With the right therapy, trauma-related struggles are some of the most treatable mental health conditions. I am trained in an approach called EMDR which helps you recall disturbing experiences and reprocess them. This causes your memories to feel more neutral or even peaceful when recalled- bringing harmony back to your life.
It’s time to deal with the past and that’s why you’re still reading. Give me a call today to schedule a free 20-minute phone call. It's not too late to get back to who you are and what you want your life to be.

Kelly Kirby
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
If you have experienced trauma in your life, you know how incredibly debilitating and fragmented life can become. It is often misunderstood in how these experiences bleed into every part of one’s life. I support my clients in the emotional release and healing to break free from the limitations currently holding them back, consciously and subconsciously. Understanding the mind, body energy connection and how the body and emotions intersect is a tool that is essential to learn in creating awareness and evolution in one’s growth and healing.
