Our Classes

Wellness Sessions, Psychoeducation Classes and Equine Wellness

Wellness Sessions

  Our wellness sessions focus on fine-tuned, client-driven goals designed to help you better understand your challenges, overcome obstacles, and regain control in your personal and professional life. Together, we explore strategies for emotional regulation, stress management, grief and loss, effective communication, and decision-making. These sessions create a safe, supportive space to become unstuck, build resilience, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence. 


New for May 2026!

Upcoming NAMA Certified  Classes

  • Active Parenting Education (May 2, 2026)


 

Program Structure

All programs are structured psychoeducational classes designed to provide practical tools that support positive behavioral change, personal accountability, and healthier decision-making for both individuals and families.

This program is facilitated by a certified instructor through the National Anger Management Association (NAMA), a nationally recognized organization whose certifications are accepted by many courts, community agencies, and social service providers. Receiving instruction from a professionally trained facilitator ensures that participants are learning evidence-based skills and up-to-date educational material designed to support meaningful change.

Programs typically run 8–12 weeks, with classes held once per week. Each session follows a structured curriculum that helps participants identify behavioral patterns, develop emotional regulation skills, strengthen communication, and make healthier decisions in daily life.

Classes are available in both group and individual formats, depending on the needs of the participant and any requirements set by courts or referring agencies. Upon successful completion of the program, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion documenting their participation in a NAMA-based educational program.


 Clients will learn:

  •   Understand child development and age-appropriate expectations
    • Practice positive discipline techniques that promote responsibility and cooperation
    • Communicate more effectively with children and co-parents
    • Manage stress and parental emotions in challenging situations
    • Recognize and change unhelpful behavioral patterns
    • Foster stronger parent-child relationships through empathy and active listening
    • Navigate co-parenting challenges and reduce family conflict
    • Apply practical tools to support long-term healthy family decision-making 


 Each program is designed to help parents and caregivers develop the skills needed to create healthier family dynamics, improve communication with their children, and make positive parenting decisions that reduce the risk of future legal or interpersonal conflicts. Jennifer brings experience working with court-ordered clients and understands the importance of accountability, structured documentation, and program completion for parents navigating the legal system.

Participants receive a Certificate of Completion upon finishing the program, and monthly progress reports are provided to referring professionals to support transparency, compliance, and follow-up care.


Equine Wellness Classes

Some of my clients prefer to meet individually and in person. They enjoy coming out to the farm and have session at "The Barn" office surrounded by nature and horses. This natural environment helps put clients at ease  and they get to come out to the country and have their individual sessions on "The Barn Porch" surrounded  by the sounds of nature and horses. Sometimes horses are used in sessions and sometimes it is just enough to be present in a world many of us do not get to experience. 

No riding experience is necessary.

Newly Added: Support for Pet Owners

As an animal lover my entire life, I understand the deep pain that comes with losing a beloved pet. Our pets are family. They are loved, cherished, and often become our quiet support system—always present, always listening.

Unfortunately, not everyone fully understands the depth of grief that comes with losing an animal companion. That is where I come in. Through supportive group sessions and individual wellness classes, we take time to process the stages of grief, honor the bond you shared with your pet, and find healthy ways to move forward while keeping those memories close to your heart.

We also explore how other animals in the household may be affected by the loss. Pets can grieve too—especially when they have relied on another animal as their companion or pack leader—and together we look at ways to support them during this transition as well.


Referrals

 

Referrals are welcome from Primary care physicians, attorneys, probation officers, social service agencies, and other professionals seeking structured psychoeducational and supportive wellness programs for their clients.
