Tina S Howard, MA, LPC-S

Tina S Howard, MA, LPC-S Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is an experiential therapy in which clients learn about themselves and others through hands on activities with the horse.

The focus is on human skills, not horse skills. Specific treatment goals are identifies but sessions are process focused. Activities can be designed to create metaphors for "real life," with sessions structured and facilitated to address the reasons clients came for therapy. Activities can be designed to work on relationships and emotional regulation by developing a healthy relationship with the horse.

The holidays can stir up joy—but they can also magnify stress, grief, loneliness, and exhaustion. If this season feels heavy, please know you are not weak and you are not alone. Scripture reminds us, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). God is close to you in this moment, even when peace feels out of reach.
Give yourself permission to slow down, to breathe, and to release the pressure to make everything perfect. Rest is not a failure of faith—it is an act of trust. Sometimes God brings healing through prayer, community, and also through wise support.
If the weight feels too heavy to carry alone, seeking counseling can be a courageous and faithful step. Counseling is not a lack of belief—it is one of the ways God provides care, clarity, and hope through others. You deserve support, especially during seasons that ask so much of you.
May you experience God’s peace—not the kind that ignores pain, but the kind that gently carries you through it. Don’t postpone JOY 🎄

✨ Feeling the Seasonal Blues? Try These Mood-Boosting Habits ✨
Shorter days can hit hard, but small routines make a huge difference:
🌞 Get more light
Morning daylight = happier brain. Step outside for 10–20 minutes, or use a 10,000-lux light box.
🚶‍♀️ Move your body
A quick walk or 20–30 minutes of activity boosts mood fast.
😴 Keep a routine
Consistent sleep/wake times + simple daily rituals help stabilize your energy.
🍲 Nourish yourself
Eat regularly, stay hydrated, add omega-3s + leafy greens.
🌬️ De-stress
Try 5 minutes of breathing, meditation, stretching, or journaling.
💛 Stay connected
Even quick check-ins with friends can lift your mood.
If your symptoms stick around or feel heavy, reaching out for support is a strong, smart move—not a failure. 💛
Save this for later & share with someone who might need it 💫

Happy Thanksgiving!
As we gather in this season of gratitude, may our hearts be softened to see God’s goodness woven through every part of our lives—the joys, the challenges, and the quiet moments in between. Even when life feels full and schedules pull us in many directions, the gift of family, friendship, and God’s steady presence remains a blessing worth celebrating.
May this day remind us of the importance of pausing, giving thanks, and cherishing the people God has placed in our lives. May His peace fill your home, His love strengthen your connections, and His grace guide you through the days ahead.
Wishing you and your loved ones a Thanksgiving overflowing with warmth, gratitude, and the gentle nearness of God.
