Connect Uniequus

We are excited to offer no-cost 6-session packages to people aged 18-30 years in partnership with Canadian Mental Health Association Shuswap-Revelstoke and Ride Don't Hide fundraising initiative.

Ride Don’t Hide is a national movement focused on raising funds, lifting up our community, and helping break the stigma around mental health. Conversations that once felt hard are becoming louder, more open, and more human, and every pedal stroke is part of that change.

Our Goal: to create accessible, low-barrier mental health support
for young people navigating their mental health.

Two pathways for support:

1. Clinical Counselling to support mental health. May focus on stabilizing grief, addictive and self-destructive behaviours, trauma and/or PTSD, or creating movement in areas that feel stuck.

Sessions may include traditional talk-therapy approaches, equine-assisted therapy, and/or EMDR.

2. Counselling and Equine-Assisted Learning combo: A coordinated care model involving both a counsellor and an equine-assisted learning coach.

Sessions focus on building real-life skills through experience, reflection, and guided support for emotional regulation, self concept, relational skills, negative beliefs, and stress.

Have you heard about EMDR?

The path forward begins with connection.

I’m Taylor Ormiston, a Registered Clinical Counsellor based in Salmon Arm, and I blend EMDR therapy, the attachment-centred wisdom of horses, and traditional talk-therapy to help you move forward with clarity and calm.

My trauma-informed, somatic, and mindfulness-based approach is gentle, powerful, and grounded in experiential healing. Experiential therapies are evidence-based and can open doors that traditional talk therapy alone may not. My practice is person-centred and attachment-based, drawing on CBT, ACT, and art therapy to meet clients exactly where they are, uncover their innate strengths, and walk alongside them toward lasting, holistic healing.

📍 Serving Salmon Arm and virtually across BC | Individuals • Families • Youth

✅ Safe • Confidential • Trauma-Aware Now accepting new clients.

There's more than just horses here. . .

While not as often formally incorporated into therapeutic processes (compared to dogs and horses), humans can form mutually beneficial bonds with all types of four-legged.

Why Animals? Because of the Human-Animal Bond Theory!

Animals are shown to provide social support to their human companions, and greater social support leads to greater overall wellbeing.

The effect generated in interacting with an animal is bi-directional, affecting the physical and emotional states of both the animal and human as well as the general overall wellbeing of each.

This idea of reciprocity is integral in the human-animal bond concept and has pro-social implications that are key for healthy human attachment.
