Healing starts with understanding trauma when working with clients who have been trafficked or survived chronic traumatic situations.

At Mingus Mountain Youth Treatment Center, our Masters-level therapists use therapeutic models such as EMDR and Survivor-Led Narrative Therapy to unravel trauma bonds and create Empowerment Plans.

Going beyond traditional treatment, we also offer tattoo removal services and teach power dynamics in relationships for adolescent girls 12-17 who have experienced trafficking. We empower our clients to take ownership of their story and to live a life that is thriving, full of hope, and the heart of a survivor.

We learn so much from our Equine Assisted Therapy connections. 🤎🧡 So often, trust and regulation are difficult after trauma. This is where our Equine friends come in. Horses have a natural way of connecting through non-verbal, gentle communication that is built on trust and respect.

As our clients begin to work with our horses, something wonderful happens in the caring and the feeding, the walking and the riding. Confidence is built. Trust is earned. The walls come down.

This is when real healing can begin.

Our teams are all trained in trauma informed approaches in all interactions. We are Sanctuary Certified and Joint Commission Accredited.

If your loved one is struggling with the aftermath of trauma, is engaging in risky behaviors or battling substance use, learn more at our website.

We approach our students with compassion, empathy and a trauma informed perspective. We separate the behavior from the student and know that academics provide much more than basic education. We teach them how to communicate, how to ask for help, how to problem-solve.

Most of our student have had to grow up much faster than their brains have been able to process. We work with them on the power of "yet!" to help create an open, rather than fixed mindset. "I may not be able to achieve this YET," is a much more powerful place to stand than "I will never get this." Our students learn how to re-frame their stories and the stories they tell themselves as they work on education, recovery, self-esteem and emotional regulation all within a safe and therapeutic environment. 🧡

If your loved one is struggling with trauma, substance use/abuse, behavioral challenges, trauma & addiction related to trafficking, then Mingus Mountain Youth Treatment Center may be a good fit.

Serving Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and more.

Horses 🏇 are naturally attuned to breath, body language, and energy—which makes Equine Therapy powerful for mood and behavioral challenges. At Mingus Mountain, girls learn mindfulness, impulse control, and grounding skills while grooming, leading, and riding, guided by our PATH-certified Equine Director, Mickey Kissell.

What skill—calm breathing, ✨ confidence, or patience—would you most want to build with a horse?

As a Sanctuary Certified Program and Joint Commission–accredited facility, Mingus Mountain weaves fidelity, transparency, and safety into every Equine session. From groundwork to mounted activities, girls practice new coping skills in real time—then apply them in school, groups, and family work. 🧡Learn more about EquineTherapy at Mingus Mountain Youth Treatment Center here: Equine Therapy at Mingus Mountain Youth Treatment Center https://na2.hubs.ly/H04k6cK0
