Our Specialties
Are you feeling stuck? Is there something nagging at you? Maybe you are stressed or feeling down. Perhaps you want more out of your relationships or more satisfaction from your work life.
Therapy can help.
How We Help
We do not claim to “do it all” because in fact, we don’t. We value integrity and competence. Our therapists have completed thousands of hours in training, practice, university teaching, supervising, lecturing, and more. What we offer, we offer well. Bright Horse Counseling believes in four cornerstones to our therapy: embodiment, insight-practice, skillful action, and social awareness. You will see all of these elements in our practice modalities.
Our Approach
At Bright Horse Counseling, our principles underpin all the work we do. We look at healing from a systems perspective. An individual’s experience is connected to the interplay between different systems and environments. Our assessment will include the individual and their systems. Oftentimes, therapy can validate that your experience is in fact a healthy response to a dysfunctional system.This doesn’t mean we shirk personal responsibility, but rather we value responsibility so much that we’ll help you hold the systems in your life accountable too.
We are a trauma-informed practice. This means we use our understanding of how trauma and stress impact people, and we do our best to promote safety and security while actively avoiding retraumatization. Trauma informed principles can be found in our business practices as well as our interactions with our clients.
We are an LGBTQ-affirming and anti-racist practice.
CLIENTS
Who We Serve
Everyone’s needs are different. Bright Horse Counseling offers a number of diverse services in addition to traditional one-on-one therapy sessions. We are here to help whether you are looking for education, community, or personalized support. See our full list of services available.
Individuals
We provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents. Sessions are typically 45 minutes weekly or bi weekly. The cost of sessions vary depending on the type of therapy offered and the experience of your therapist.
Groups
Group therapy is an excellent alternative or addition to individual therapy. Especially now, in the midst of Covid-19, social connection can be challenging. DBT Skills and Processing groups are available.
Couples and Relationships
Couple and Relationship therapy allows relationship members to engage in the therapeutic process together. The therapist’s “client” becomes the relationship rather than one individual.
