When words escape us, horses still speak to our hearts...
NW Hearts United's Counseling & Wellness Programs provide strength based prevention and intervention for all levels of mental health needs for individuals, groups, and families of all ages and income levels.
We are passionate about supporting your journey to coherence, empowerment, joy, hope and fulfillment. Our approach focus on growth and healing through an experiential, somatic, connection-based, holistic lens.
Through calming the nervous system, regulating emotions and energy, and ultimately on finding moments of joy, lightness and hope, we work together to help you move forward differently. Our therapeutic approach is interactive and collaborative, utilizing the natural living world and your connection to it as a guide towards therapeutic wisdom.
Each session focuses on finding and feeling safe in our bodies and the world around us, accessing inner calm, actively releasing tension and stress, and accessing your own intuition and sense of knowing. Ultimately awarding you the focus and clarity to move forward.
"I gained more insight and clarity in just one session than with anything else I have ever tried!"
It's hard to believe that after such a short experience we get this kind of feedback, yet we consistently do! Our clients report feeling empowered as individuals while also learning to support, collaborate, and find strength in the connection they have with loved ones, peers, and their communities. We invite you to experience it for yourself!
