Help your Child with Joyful Ranch Counseling's Teen Groups!

---

Group counseling allows the teens to support each other. It helps them realize they are not alone in their struggles. Teens can learn from each other and the counselor. All of our teen groups are only $20 a session. This is made possible by donations from others who support our efforts to use rescued horses in order to help rescue people. 

 In group therapy, the adolescents experience decreased feelings of isolation, learn new coping skills, have a heightened sense of community, improved social skills, and increased ability to express thoughts and feelings.

 Each one of our groups includes therapeutic activities using rescued horses, dogs, mini-pigs, and other farm animals. 

Our Thursday night teen girls group has grown so much. It is held in Springtown, TX at 6:00 pm, every Thursday. 

This group is for girls ages 12-17. 

Our teen girls group explores topics such as depression, self-image, boundaries, coping skills, eating disorders, and self-harm.  

This group primarily uses equine therapy activities during each session to teach the girls coping skills and help them process their emotions. 

Our new Tuesday night adolescent group is for girls ages 12-17, held at 6:30 PM weekly. We take a maximum number of 6 girls for each group and currently have spots open. This group focuses on using equine therapy to help girls learn coping skills, and boundaries, improve self-esteem, and more. 

At this time we are not running a teen boys group. However, as we grow we would like to offer a group similar to the girls group for boys ages 12-17. This group would cover topics such as bullying, coping skills, self-harm, depression, anxiety, and boundaries. This group primarily uses equine therapy activities during each session to teach the boys coping skills and help them process their emotions. 

You can help us start more groups by donating. This helps us rescue more horses, and have more staff to run open up more groups.
