FAQ's and inspiration

Get ready to reconnect to yourself, the horses, and the beauty of nature!  Sessions take place at Stable Woods Barn in Hurricane, WV, about 2.5 miles from I-64.  You will arrive at the beautifully built 4 stall, 2 story barn featured in the pictures on this site. In partnership with Stable Woods, LLC, we will work as a team comprised of yourself and anyone you choose to bring with you; Ally, the mental health clinician; Kathryn, barn owner and equine specialist, and up to 3 equines. Your first session will be an introduction to EAP/L, a discussion on safety, and meeting the horses (you may also meet a dog or two and the barn cat, Monroe). Depending on your level of comfort, you may be challenged to complete activities with our assistance. Activities are all completed OTG-“on the ground” -and do not involve riding. You will be in charge of how much you interact with the equines. We will pay special attention to horse behavior and look for metaphors that can be applied to your own life. Be sure to wear closed toe shoes/boots and dress for the weather and working with horses.

The therapist at Just Breathe Therapy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with an advanced degree in counseling.  Ally has extensive training and experience working with individuals, couples, and families and is also an approved ALPS (Approved Licensed Professional Counselor). She and her business partner, Kathryn, have been twice trained and certified in EAP/L by the OK Corral. In November 2024, Ally and Kathryn completed a second training through OK Corral specifically focusing on working with families.
