Why Golden Horse Counseling

Golden Horse Counseling offers something rare — the chance to heal in the presence of horses, surrounded by the quiet strength of a farm setting. Here, therapy doesn’t just happen in an office; it unfolds in the rhythm of nature, in the safety of the herd, and in the freedom of open space.

What makes this work distinct is the integration of evidence-based trauma therapies like EMDR and Deep Brain Reorienting with the experiential power of equine connection. Horses bring a depth of presence and honesty that can break through where traditional therapy sometimes can’t.

At Golden Horse Counseling, you’re not just in therapy — you’re in an environment designed for healing, where the land, the herd, and the therapeutic process all come together to support your growth.

Beyond the Office: Our Healing Approaches

  • Deep Brain Reorienting

    Deep Brain Reorienting is transformational therapy approach that relies on the human brain having an inherent ability to find healing from emotional trauma. With DBR, the focus is on healing the attachment shock we experience in these moments but in a more gentle and deeper way.

    DBR is a new and innovative trauma therapy that is emerging from Glasgow, Scotland. Created by Psychiatrist, Dr. Frank Corrigan.

  • Equine-Assisted Therapy

    Healing happens when we feel safe and have the freedom to choose. In therapy, horses offer that choice — to connect, to explore, or simply to be. Their presence creates an experiential component that often reaches places an office setting cannot. At Golden Horse Counseling, Brittani integrates horses into both EMDR (through the EquiLateral™ Protocol created by Sarah Jenkins) and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), allowing the herd to become part of the healing process. This setting, grounded in the natural bond between horses and humans, offers a powerful and unique path for transformation.

  • EMDR

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidenced based psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Unlike other treatments that focus on directly altering the emotions, thoughts and responses resulting from traumatic experiences, EMDR therapy focuses directly on the memory, and is intended to change the way that the memory is stored in the brain, thus reducing and eliminating the problematic symptoms.

    Brittani is EMDRIA Approved Consultant, EMDR Certified and an Equilateral Consultant and is passionate about bringing these services to Utah and Idaho.
