Individual Sessions
Trauma can mean so much to so many people. It can be one event that happened and has changed your life. Or it can be an abusive marriage or a troubled childhood. Often people with trauma say they do not want to talk to a counselor because they do not feel like a counselor can understand or handle hearing about their past. I want to let you know, you are not alone.
We offer individual sessions for ages 8 to 100! All individual sessions are 50 min in length unless otherwise agreed upon with your counselor.
Millions have experienced trauma, even me (Jackie, your counselor). I am trained in Emotional Freedom Technique, equine assisted activities, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, all of which help with trauma. This training can help you function happily in life without this "THING" that has been haunting you for so long!
Customizable Sessions
Each individual session is customized to the client's needs. For example, some clients like working with the horses, and some like working with the pigs or dogs. Each session is customized to the needs of each person. We do offer in person and virtual sessions.
Women's Counseling
As a woman in today's world, we are expected to work, cook, clean, take care of the kids, and more. Although women are strong, we often struggle with things internally for years before getting the help we need. Self-care is often neglected and boundaries are ignored. Today is the day to change that.
Give Joyful Ranch a call, and speak to a women business owner, with 6 kids, and 2 grandkids. Jackie has been through it, she understands the hormonal changes, the stress, the overwhelm, and the pressure of trying to do everything. Peace can be found, boundaries can be learned, and healing can lead you to a life of fulfillment instead of stress.
Christian Counseling
As a believer, Jackie offers Christian counseling to all her clients even in the teen groups. Jackie believes that God helps to heal our spirit and soul. Each part of our body, soul, mind, and spirit needs to be healed as one being. This creates a complete healing experience. Jackie is respectful of all religions and will always ask at the first session what your beliefs are.
Parenting Classes
Why Are Parenting Classes Important?
Parenting is one of the most meaningful—and challenging—roles a person can have especially when your teen struggles with mental health issues. Parenting classes provide caregivers with practical tools, education, and support to navigate difficult behaviors, strengthen family relationships, and respond to children in healthy, effective ways.
We work with so many teens! We learned that working alongside the teens with their parents to help them learn together how to work on their mental health issues.
Parenting classes are especially helpful during times of transition or difficulty, such as behavioral concerns, family stress, trauma, or challenges with teens. Rather than placing blame, parenting education focuses on growth, connection, and long-term family wellness.
