Some of this may feel familiar as you think about your child:

You might be noticing:

Your child gets overwhelmed easily or has frequent meltdowns
They seem anxious, withdrawn, or stuck in their thoughts
They struggle with confidence or being hard on themselves
They shut down or won’t talk about what’s wrong
You’ve tried to help—but nothing seems to stick
As a parent, it can feel confusing, exhausting, and even a little helpless.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Therapy at Gideon’s Care Farm is different from traditional talk therapy.
Using equine-assisted and animal-assisted therapy, sessions are interactive, hands-on, and tailored to your child’s needs.
This approach is especially helpful for kids who:
Struggle to open up verbally
Feel uncomfortable in a traditional office setting
Learn best through experience rather than conversation
Working with animals helps children build confidence, emotional awareness, and connection in a way that feels natural and engaging.
I work with both children and their parents to create meaningful, lasting change. Alongside your child’s sessions, I provide support and guidance so you feel more confident understanding and responding to your child’s needs at home.
If your child is struggling and you’re not sure what to try next, you’re not alone—and support is available.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF THERAPY

Work With Us

Through hands-on, experiential work, your child can begin to:

Feel more confident in themselves
Learn how to manage big emotions
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm
Build trust and connection
Feel successful and capable

Therapy becomes something they experience—not just something they’re expected to talk about.

✨ HOW THIS HELPS YOUR CHILD

SUPPORT FOR GRIEF & LOSS

I also specialize in supporting children and teens navigating grief and loss.

Grief doesn’t always look like sadness in kids—it can show up as anxiety, anger, withdrawal, or behavior changes.

Together, we create a space where your child can process their experience in a way that feels safe, supported, and developmentally appropriate.

SUPPORT FOR PARENTS

You are an important part of your child’s healing.

I work closely with parents so you feel more confident understanding your child’s needs and supporting them outside of sessions.

You don’t have to carry this alone.
