The Golden Horse Approach

The philosophy of Golden Horse Counseling centers around the belief that every individual is inherently worthy of healing and that the process of recovery requires a safe and nurturing space. The metaphor of the Golden Horse symbolizes power, grace, and freedom that can be reclaimed through the healing journey. Just as the horse is a symbol of strength and transformation, clients are encouraged to step into their own power, embrace vulnerability, and experience profound healing.

Golden Horse Counseling stands as a dedicated center for those navigating the complexities of trauma, offering a transformative and holistic approach to healing. Specializing in complex trauma, we blend traditional therapeutic practices with innovative, body-centered techniques to support clients on their journey toward self-connection, empowerment, and resilience.

Trauma Focused Therapy

For adults aged 18 and older who are actively seeking counseling sessions and therapeutic support utilizing the diverse modalities that Golden Horse Counseling has to offer, we provide a welcoming and inclusive environment to promote healing and personal growth.

EMDR and DBR are primarily used for local residents in the Spanish Fork area, but easily accessible from Salt Lake. Telehealth available for all Utah and Idaho Residents. Some insurance accepted.

Healing from complex trauma is not a linear process, and it cannot be rushed. At Golden Horse Counseling, clients are invited to move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable for them. Therapists respect each person’s timeline, providing support every step of the way. This patient, compassionate approach reduces the risk of re-traumatization and helps clients build resilience gradually.

Healing from trauma is a lifelong journey, and Golden Horse Counseling provides ongoing support to clients even after formal therapy concludes. Whether through workshops, retreats, or follow-up check-ins, clients are encouraged to stay connected to the tools, resources, and community that support their continued growth and well-being. Golden Horse is more than just a place to heal—it is a community committed to long-term recovery, personal transformation, and the cultivation of inner peace.

Seek spaces where they listen, so you can learn to speak.
