Equine Facilitated Counseling

With The "Stages" of Changes
Kellie Schriver, LCDC - Currently Booked

Pinnacle Therapeutic Riding Center has partnered with Kellie Schriver, LCDC and her program, "The Stages of Changes". 

​

Each session is planned with the participant’s specific needs and goals in mind. All sessions offer the opportunities for hands-on interaction with the horses which involves completing tasks, behavioral observation, nonverbal communications, problem solving, experimenting, creativity, and execution of responsibility. Participants “learn by doing,” discovering much about themselves and learning appropriate ways to face their difficult situations.

​

​

Most activities are done from the ground, using the EAGALA Model, working through The “Stages” of Change format. We also incorporate The Natural Lifemanship model, that can include horseback rhythmic riding as a part of the equine experience.

​

​

Prior horsemanship knowledge or skills are not necessary.

Shelley Raymond, LPC - Currently Booked

Horses help us learn a new approach to build a deeper connection in relationships, which develops confidence and more understanding and compassion for ourselves and others. The “Stages” of Changes utilizes both the physiology and psychology of the horse to heal the physiology and psychology of the human. Shelley works as a team with Kaley Millender, equine instructor, to facilitate the experiential and therapeutic relationship between the horse and the human. Shelley Raymond is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She works with individuals, adolescents, families, and couples, facilitating healing from anxiety, panic attacks, attachment pain, depression, trauma, addictions, self-compassion and healthy boundaries. She is trained in Natural Lifemanship, EMDR, Gottman Level 2, Emotional Focus Therapy Level 1 and pet therapy. She has her Masters from Dallas Theological Seminary and her Bachelor’s of Business Administration from the George Washington University.
