Laurie Roach is a master level Clinician who earned her Master's degree in Psychology in 2015. She has over 30 years of experience in horsemanship and over 20 years of experience working with adults and children who have encountered trauma. In 2021 she combined her past experiences of both things that she loves; horses and mental health (healing). She enjoys helping others learn the love of horses while providing therapeutic healing sessions. Since obtaining her equine assisted coaching certification Laurie has expanded her clinical work with adults who struggle with substance use and severe mental illness. Her sessions include equine assisted therapeutic techniques with the horses as well as meditation and mindfulness. She works with adults, children, families and groups. The horses she uses in her sessions are all rescues. These horses have healed from their past trauma and help others heal from their trauma. She is a firm believer that each individual deserves to be the best version of themselves and helps guide her clients to identify their struggles and obtain their goals they set for themselves. Laurie takes a client centered approach and believes that each individual has the ability to heal from within. Recently she has added goats to her herd who also provide a therapeutic presence similar to the horses. Additionally, Laurie has built her own labyrinth out of rocks to offer clients during sessions. This is a meditative walk that provides clarity and vision for clients who are struggling to process emotions such as anxiety, depression and grief.
