DBT provides a strong foundation for this work. Its core principles include distress tolerance, mindfulness and \u201cfinding the middle path,\u201d interpersonal effectiveness (relationship skills), and radical acceptance. Together, we explore which skills help you feel grounded and mitigate trauma triggers, which ones feel overwhelming, and how to build a toolkit that actually supports your daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-54d22900 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-8914a716e767ca05aecbd836b1a0b9ae\" style=\"color:#2c3b28;font-size:20px;letter-spacing:0.5px\"><strong>Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-e31b64dac8561369780e079e624fb79a wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#2c3b28;font-size:18px;text-transform:none\">Many people tell me, <em>\u201cDBT\/CBT skills are great\u2026 but what do I actually <strong>do<\/strong> with them?\u201d<\/em> This is where ACT becomes essential. ACT helps bridge the gap between <strong>knowing<\/strong> skills and actually <strong>feeling<\/strong>, <strong>believing<\/strong>, and <strong>living<\/strong> them.

HAEI integrates natural interactions with animals into therapy. Moreover, this approach supports grounding, reduces isolation, and encourages emotional clarity for rural clients. When you and I reference or engage with the animals organically during our sessions, we discuss the therapeutic meaning <em>as it happens.<\/em> This process is part of Human\u2011Animal\u2011Environment Interventions, and it can be a powerful adjunct to trauma and skills\u2011based therapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-ast-global-color-3-color has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-22ee0c5cd218215f08c9b806abec9de4 is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-54d22900 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-f64ea0007e007252b17576904ea1f9e7\" style=\"color:#2c3b28;font-size:18px\"><strong>Spiritual Resilience <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-d195d8341089f007ea35032853ac939c wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#2c3b28;font-size:18px;text-transform:none\">While many challenges can be addressed through emotional, cognitive, and behavioral approaches, I believe spiritual wounds can also impact healing.

During virtual sessions, you may have the opportunity to meet Sergio, Baxter, or Twinkle Toes as they naturally appear in the environment. These interactions are optional, client\u2011led, and always guided by your comfort. For many clients \u2014 especially those who feel \u201ctalk therapy hasn\u2019t worked\u201d \u2014 the steady, judgment\u2011free presence of animals can create a meaningful sense of calm and connection. My approach to Human\u2013Animal\u2013Environment Interventions (HAEI) involves recognizing the therapeutic moment as it arises in real time. When an animal interaction naturally creates a metaphor, emotional opening, or grounding experience, we explore that together gently and intentionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading

Even though our work together happens online, their natural rhythm and steady awareness can create a sense of connection, comfort, and calm. Horses are deeply responsive to intention, tone, and emotional shifts. Through Human\u2013Animal\u2013Environment Interventions (HAEI), we explore these subtle behavioral cues as they arise \u2014 noticing how Blaze or King move, settle, or respond as we talk through emotions, stress, or internal conflict. These moments often become organic metaphors that support insight and healing in ways talk\u2011only therapy may not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-3-color has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-f98276bb22eb0c67e71d81f2606f8c06 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:none\">For my rural clients, I also offer low\u2011pressure \u201cgroom and chat\u201d virtual sessions, <strong>with at home visits coming soon!<\/strong> These sessions combine light, grounding barn chores or grooming with gentle conversation. The goal is to reduce social isolation, support connection during everyday activities, and create a therapeutic experience that feels natural, familiar, and part of rural life. Many clients find that being around the horses \u2014 brushing, tidying their space, or simply standing with them \u2014 helps conversations unfold more comfortably and builds a sense of companionship and shared rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-3-color has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-d0d8ce6bdc732eaf34fc394535173d3e wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:none\">Your comfort and interest always guide this process. Whether Blaze and King simply drift through the background during telehealth sessions, or we work with them more intentionally during grooming and barn\u2011based support, their presence brings a sense of spaciousness, reflection, and steadying that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-3-color has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-e845508878091d9fca4dd54837144aa6\">Telehealth Services Designed for Rural Wyoming and Colorado<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-vertically-aligned-bottom\" style=\"border-top-left-radius:26px;border-top-right-radius:26px;border-bottom-left-radius:26px;border-bottom-right-radius:26px\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/gemcitymentalwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_7446-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-221 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gemcitymentalwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_7446-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gemcitymentalwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_7446-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gemcitymentalwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_7446-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gemcitymentalwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_7446-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gemcitymentalwellness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_7446-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-3-color has-ast-global-color-0-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-ac06655a1817122b11f92b74b83cd061 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"text-transform:none\">I provide secure, accessible telehealth sessions for adults across Wyoming and Colorado. Telehealth allows you to meet with a trauma therapist in Wyoming no matter where you live, including rural and remote areas. This approach is especially supportive for rural clients, disabled adults, neurodivergent adults, and anyone facing long distances, mobility limits, or weather\u2011related barriers.                        Telehealth also allows natural interactions with animals in your environment to unfold during sessions \u2014 whether you\u2019re joining from home, the barn, or out on the land. These moments often create meaningful grounding and connection, while still maintaining privacy, safety, and ease.
