Take time to understand your strengths, weaknesses, and values.
Reflect on your past experiences and identify areas for improvement.
Practice clear expression and empathy in your interactions, while receiving immediate feedback from the horse to enhance your communication skills.
Be reliable, honest, and consistent in your actions. Trust is built over time through consistent behavior and open communication.

Engage in open-minded discussions, explore different viewpoints, and be willing to consider alternative perspectives to help broaden your understanding and challenge self-blocking beliefs.
Engage in activities where you’re able to practice assertiveness and build confidence in your ability to develop healthy boundaries and learn how to implement them in real time.
Learn to understand your personal limits and communicate them clearly.
Jumpstart your healing journey and recover from trauma
Stable Soul PLLC is a healing partner with Horse and Buddy Therapeutic Riding Center.
Horse and Buddy is located at 4728 Old US 1 Highway, New Hill, NC 27562
The Equine Assisted Psychotherapy process involves ground work with a horse and an Equine Specialist. The focus of the Equine Specialist is to keep everyone safe during the session, as well as bring certain horse behaviors that might add context to the activity to the attention of the client and therapist for deeper discussions and insight.
Your desires for healing and change will guide the goals for our time together and the treatment approach.
Helping you find the truest version of yourself means knowing that you can trust that I’ll show up as my authentic self, too. Gone are the days of the “blank slate” therapist. I understand that you need to trust me in order to share. To build that trust, I may share pieces of my story that help you relate and encourage safety and understanding.
I’m committed (and eager!) to learn. Learn about you. Learn with you. Learn for you. I’m constantly reading and researching topics my clients present during their sessions and I’m committed to pursuing trainings and certifications that will help me provide informed care.
Online Individual Therapy:
$155 per 50-55 minute session
Clients may use their in-network insurance benefits through United Healthcare, Cigna, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, and MedCost.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy:
$225 per 50-55 minute session
($155 per 50-55 minute session, plus an additional $70 Horse and Buddy facility and Equine Specialist fee)
Clients may use their insurance benefits for the psychotherapy portion of the session ($155), however the $70 fee related to the Horse and Buddy facility and Equine Specialist are not reimbursable through insurance, therefore would have to be paid out of pocket by the client for each session.
Some Insurance Considerations:
Insurance companies require a “diagnosis” and “patient” to be named. Reimbursement is only given for certain diagnoses. Sometimes insurance companies can limit the frequency and/or amount of your sessions. If you are self-pay, you do not face these limitations. In addition, by using insurance you are giving permission for your insurance company to access the therapy notes regarding the work we are doing in each session.
Ashley’s Availability
