Equine-Assisted Therapy (Horse Therapy) Therapists in Raleigh, 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!

Raleigh sits at the heart of the Research Triangle alongside Durham and Chapel Hill, and its concentration of biotech, pharmaceutical, and university workers drives consistent demand for therapists experienced with perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological costs of competitive knowledge-economy careers. The region's rapid growth has made Raleigh one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity challenges common among transplants rebuilding lives in a new city. WakeMed Health and UNC REX Healthcare serve as institutional anchors alongside a well-established private practice community across North Hills, Midtown, and the Five Points area. Raleigh's growing diversity — with large South Asian, Latino, and Black professional communities — is increasing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
