Reins & Rainbows provides services for all ages, individuals and families by teaching emotional and behavioral support through experiential learning and cognitive behavioral therapy.
We provide services for trauma, neglect, grief and loss. We can help with behavioral issues such as anger management and ADD.
Reins also helps with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, reactive attachment disorder, drug and alcohol education and support.
We specialize in evidenced based trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT).
THERAPY HORSES
Handy (pictured here) is a therapy horse at Reins. He works with children ages 1-5 who have experienced trauma.
Most of these children do not have words to describe what happened or how they feel; instead they act out their feelings through behaviors. The horses teach these kids what being safe feels like and how to express themselves. We are thankful for our therapy horses at Reins.
HORSES ARE TEACHERS
“Horses are teachers of self-awareness. They are keenly alert, intuitive, emotional, and authentic animals.
Like humans, horses are social beings that live together in herds with defined hierarchies, roles, responsibilities, and relationships very similar to our family systems.
Equine-assisted psychotherapy offers the client new opportunities and choices for relationship and emotional growth.” – Joan Rieger, MA LPC
