Prairie River’s Mission

Prairie River Counseling aims to take counseling beyond the office with the intent to reconnect with the natural systems around us. Providing ecotherapy with a variety of evidence-based methods to support and hold space for the client’s growth and goals.

As a therapist, it is not my role to create the path for you, but to walk alongside you on the path you are creating for yourself. I ask clients to arrive with curiosity as they travel on their journey.

Whether you prefer to be in office or outdoors. You have the power to choose how you receive and move through the therapeutic process.

Meet the Team

  • Equine Specialist Team

    STARS provides certified equine specialists who are present for the session when working directly with equine. Their role is to establish safety for the equine and all humans involved. Each specialist is unique in their own way and bring such a wealth of wisdom and insight into each session.

  • The STARS Herd

    The STARS herd consist of over 10 horses and two donkeys. These equines have been specifically selected to be a part of the therapy team. Each equine is a co-therapist whose role is to hold space and be a sacred mirror for your healing journey.

  • Sihtric & Sugar

    Sihtric and Sugar are both certified therapy dogs. Sihtric loves to play and cuddle while Sugar prefers to be held all session. These two love their job and will accept each client, as they are, without judgement.

  • The STARS Cats

    When entering the barn or the office it is not uncommon to be greeted by some friendly STARS cats. They enjoy lounging around and receiving attention during sessions.
