Take Heart Counseling & Equine Assisted Therapy

Take Heart Counseling & Equine Assisted Therapy Empowering individuals and families to find hope, healing and wholeness through therapeutic work with horses.

We provide Licensed Professional Counseling services in the Reading, Lancaster, and Lebanon areas of Pennsylvania. Equine Assisted Therapy is experiential and metaphorical in nature. Studies are proving it to be an effective alternative or addition to traditional therapy. Some sessions may be more learning-oriented, meaning you may practice skills which translate into other situations you may be f

acing. Some sessions will be more psychotherapeutic, in which deep healing through corrective experiences may occur. Working with horses provides an organic environment for experiencing, understanding, and discussing one's feelings and behaviors, in which individuals are challenged to grow and change. Session activities are tailored to fit a client's needs and will vary. Each session will end with a time of processing and discussing the activities. Non-therapeutic services and events offered at the Three Horse Ranch / Take Heart facility include: leadership-teamwork improvement, basic horsemanship and riding-lessons by highly qualified trainers, kids’ animal events (with mini-horses, a mini-donkey, and fainting goats), as well as fundraising events, such as public Open Barn Events, Worship at The Ranch events, and other special events as announced.

We are SO proud of Alexa Elliott, who graduated this weekend from Lebanon Valley College with her Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is now officially an LAPC! πŸŽ‰

Alexa joined the Take Heart herd as an intern because she believed horses could change lives β€” and she was right. We've watched her grow into a gifted therapist who brings fresh energy, deep compassion, and a genuine love for the kids, teens, and families she serves.

The horses saw it in her from the start. 🐴✨

Congratulations, Alexa. This is just the beginning. πŸ’›

Misattunement = a moment of mismatch in
communication
Rupture = a breakdown in trust
They are not the same.
Misattunement is normal β€” and necessary
Repairing it is what builds clarity, confidence, and connection over time.

Can I just set up a lawn chair in the field and sit with my horse?
We get asked that more than you'd think. And the answer is always yes β€” we'll probably pull up a chair and join you.
At Take Heart, we believe the best boarding experience isn't just about the care your horse gets (though that part's pretty great too.) It's about what you feel when you pull into the driveway.
52 acres. Herd turnout. Owners on site. A community that actually feels like one.
If you've been looking for a barn that feels like home β€” we'd love to meet you.
