Who We Are

Happy Appy is a mental health counseling organization that specializes in affordable animal assisted mental health therapies as well as adaptive riding. Our masters level therapists utilizes various mental health modalities and each specialize in working with different populations such as children, teenagers and adults. Happy Appy provides individual, couples, family therapy as well as ongoing group therapy. We serve the greater Brighton community and the surrounding areas of Colorado. We believe that many times the mental health needs of people aren't being met, not because the individual or the family doesn't recognize and want to go to therapy, but rather because of how expensive private mental health therapy has become. Along with this having the opportunity to work with horses has typically been something that is reserved for the " privileged population" not because of lack of want, but rather horses are pretty expensive and their location isn't always the easiest to get to. Animal assisted interventions is an effective supplementation for traditional therapy to help incorporate and learn different aspect and skills that typically might be difficult. But sadly, many times the average person has a hard time affording just traditional therapy, let alone animal assisted mental health. By providing animal assisted mental health services on a sliding fee scale, we are able to provide opportunities for more individuals to have the opportunity to experience this type of work more easily if they are willing to put forth the effort. Why Happy Appy? As you know we do mental health therapy and our experience is that typically the idea of going to therapy isn’t a very popular one. In fact growing up I vividly remember my parents using therapy as a threat - “ if you don’t get your act together you’ll have to go to therapy ” But it doesn’t have to be that way. We believe that everyone is going to need some kind of therapy at some point in their life so why make it painful. Therapy is just a way to get a little extra help , clarity and boost for your life it’s not just something to do if you are “crazy”. So we wanted to make going to therapy a little less intimidating and named our company Happy Appy after our little POA Elf. We also believe that incorporating animals such as horses , goats, cats and bunnies can help tremendously with that feeling of intimidation and “impending doom” of being in therapy. Because let’s face it , it’s a little hard to stay overwhelmed when you are petting one of our horses. We also believes that our therapists are pretty cool as well , we all have gone to therapy so we know what’s it like to be on the other side of therapy.
