At Defy Limits Counseling, we believe in the power of diverse and experiential therapeutic modalities to help our clients heal and grow. For those interested in exploring therapy beyond the traditional office setting, I am pleased to recommend Rachel Scott, LPC-MHSP at Stable Space-Trauma & Equine Therapy. Rachel is a skilled therapist who specializes in both Equine-Assisted Therapy and EMDR.
Healing through connection with horses.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a unique, experiential form of therapy that involves interactions between clients and horses, guided by a licensed mental health professional and an equine specialist. This trauma-informed approach supports individuals in processing trauma, building emotional regulation, enhancing communication, and improving overall mental wellness. Sessions take place on the ground (no horseback riding is required), allowing clients to observe, interact, and build relationships with horses in a safe, structured setting.
What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based psychotherapy approach designed to help people heal from the emotional distress caused by traumatic and overwhelming life experiences.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require clients to talk extensively about their trauma. Instead, it focuses on helping the brain process and re-store distressing memories in a healthier, less disruptive way—so they no longer feel emotionally triggering or overwhelming.
EMDR was originally developed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but it is now used effectively for a wide range of mental health concerns.
