During this "new normal" your child or teen may seem very different as they resist your efforts to help. Things that worked in the past are just not working anymore. You may find your once easy going child is arguing with you. You can feel yourself losing ground and losing your connection with them especially as stress increases. Perhaps you see them falling behind academically or not wanting to be with their friends or family anymore. You are worried that they show signs of depression or anxiety. And you feel scared and overwhelmed.
We at Hope Reins specialize in counseling for children, teens, and families. We know that an adult approach to therapy does not work with children. We know children do not just sit "on the couch" and talk about why they are arguing or not doing schoolwork. So instead, our child and teen therapists find ways to get kids moving, and exploring solutions. And in all honesty, we find that horses can get children to open up in ways we cannot. Whether it is traditional anxiety therapy, depression therapy, family therapy, or equine therapy, we provide it. We want you to reconnect with your child and regain confidence in your parenting. We are committed to helping your child feel better so they can succeed in school and life. Take the first step to regaining connection by calling for a FREE 15 minute consultation.
Even though our horses may WANT to be in your session, we understand equine therapy may not be for everyone.
We specialize in trauma informed therapy, anxiety therapy, depression therapy and cognitive behavioral counseling. We tap into the the latest brain science to help you heal. We like to access many different stress management skills such as breathwork, mindfulness, prayer and meditation, relaxation skills, and art therapy. Our goal is to help you figure out what works for you! We will help you identify the beliefs and the old neural pathways that sabotage you. We then help you find healthy beliefs that support you, your values, and your goals. We believe in looking at you as a whole person-- mind, body, and soul to identify what will help you feel good again. That may mean also discussing movement, hobbies, and even nutrition so you can take the first step to getting unstuck and feeling joy again. We offer telehealth solutions so if you are anywhere in Illinois we can help you! All of our anxiety and depression therapists are licensed professionals and will work with you to provide an approach that fits your needs.
And if you ever want to try working with the horses that is ALWAYS an option! Bunny will clearly be on board to help! Our approach does not involve riding and no horse experience is needed.

Instead of "just talking" about your problems, you will be working with the horses, developing a relationship, and finding solutions. As you practice those solutions, you will be developing new neural pathways in your brain! Just like traditional therapy though, our licensed therapists will help you identify your goals and work with in-network insurance.
As animals of prey, horses give honest feedback about communication, leadership, relationship skills, and self-regulation. They cannot lie. In order to develop a good relationship with a horse (or a person), it is vital to learn how to manage emotions and thoughts in a healthy way. As you are able to let go of lies and insecurities, the horses respond with more connection. With horses, you have the opportunity to identify strengths and weaknesses in a non-judgemental environment and then practice different solutions until you find one that works! All work is on the ground. You will not do any riding and no horse experience is needed. So take the first step to finding solutions that work so you can feel good again by calling or registering for a free 15 minute consultation.
