COUNSELING PROGRAMS
The Ranch offers a variety of holistic Equine Assisted wellness programs and support modalities for mental/behavioral health as well as for physical therapy needs. These researched backed models of therapy have helped children, adults and families deal with trauma, depression, disorders and a variety of special needs challenges.
Horses are the main element in the treatment plans as they have natural characteristics that facilitate positive emotional and physical changes. Our other farm animals also have a role to play. Our teams also use walk and talk therapy as well as traditional office therapy.

How Do I Schedule An Appointment?
Schedule your confidential appointment with us by contacting the office. We will verify your insurance benefits and then set up your first intake with the therapist. We offer a specialized therapy, but we do not require a doctor's referral. We also offer a free 15 minute phone call with the therapists to make sure it will meet your needs.
Clients can also be seen in our Wellness Clinic that features kid-friendly sensory equipment and room for play/art therapy.
The Outdoor Nature Programs include walking/riding trails, natural play areas, a large interactive jump pillow. A sensory trail and natural playground allow clients to enjoy the outdoors, therefore improving their approach to therapy. This natural “green space” is another part of the unique therapeutic environment found at Bit of Hope and can facilitate sensory processing and "grounding" benefits for the client.
