Equine-Assisted Therapy (Horse Therapy) Therapists in Durham, NC

If you are a child feeling overwhelmed by big emotions, a teen navigating stress and identity, or an adult facing anxiety, sadness, distress, or challenges with substance use, you deserve a safe, compassionate space where your story is honored. Through a combination of traditional therapy, animal-assisted therapy, and nature-based approaches, you can experience support in ways that feel grounding, engaging, and authentic. Together, we will focus on your strengths and goals, helping you feel heard, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of clarity and calm so you can move through life with greater confidence and hope.

I provide a comfortable, nonjudgmental, & supportive space for womxn in their 20-40's to learn skills to manage general/social anxiety and depression by building self-worth, practicing new habits and boundaries, and creating a meaningful life. I also enjoy helping animal care professionals (veterinarians, vet techs, vetmed students, wildlife rehabilitators, etc) combat burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and depression. I incorporate evidenced-based techniques of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), existential counseling, and mindfulness skills from a secular perspective. Online sessions only at this time - available statewide for individuals in North Carolina and South Carolina. No calls please. Visit my website or email today to learn more!

Durham is home to Duke University and Duke University Medical Center, one of the leading psychiatric research and treatment centers in the country — an institution that deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of the local therapy community. The Research Triangle's concentration of academics, researchers, and healthcare professionals creates demand for therapists with intellectual depth and experience with high-achievement anxiety, identity work, and the stresses of competitive knowledge-economy careers. Durham also has a vibrant Black community with deep historical roots, and therapists offering culturally affirming care, racial identity work, and intergenerational trauma support are well represented. The city's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, and many practitioners integrate social-justice-informed approaches across their work.
