Hope Adventures uses a variety of farm animals and nature to provide strengths based, client centered services. Hope Adventures is an outpatient therapy practice that combines traditional therapeutic techniques with farm life and animals. Therapy sessions incorporate that mindset as each session is different and catered specifically to every client and their goals. At Hope Adventures, you get the

opportunity to heal, grow and transform while interacting with animals and farm environment. Clients are given the opportunity to step outside their comfort zone and get the chance to enjoy a small taste of farm life. Hope Adventures uses animal assisted therapy, nature therapy and farm based therapy in the therapeutic process. Services offered include:
**Animal Assisted Therapy: Hope Adventures incorporates farm animals into the therapy process. These animals include a dog, bunny, horses and goats. Pictures if the animals can be found under the animal tab at the top of the page. Studies have shown that animals provide a positive influence on improving one's emotional, social and cognitive well being. The skills they learn during session can be transferred to their everyday life and mindset.

**Nature Therapy: Part of Hope Adventures is also allowing clients to connect with nature during sessions. It allows clients to tap back into their 5 senses and learn to enjoy the world around them. Nature therapy has shown to decrease stress levels and increase relaxation skills. Nature therapy allows clients to step outside the typical therapy office setting and enjoy the world around them. While direct interaction with the farm animals is not planned, sometimes they get curious and join us during sessions.

**Farm Based Therapy: Every day is a new and exciting day on the farm. You never know what to expect and things are consistently changing. Animals are fine one day, and then sick the next day. One day two animals get along, the next day they are butting heads and being aggressive with each other. While some days are easier than others, clients learn valuable lessons during sessions that they can apply to everyday life situations. They learn to understand that every animal has a different personality as well as certain likes and dislikes. Just like humans, they have boundaries and personal space that they do not always want others in. Interested in finding out more?

Sometimes it is frustrating to learn and realize that the change and growth that comes from therapy is not always linear and takes time. Successful therapy is not a quick fix and takes time and work outside of the therapy session. There will also be bumps in the road to healing and growth.

Life will always throw new things your way. The struggles and stressors you may be facing currently, might change in a few months. Then new challenges, life events or milestones might happen down the road.

People’s reasoning for wanting or needing therapy may change over time. Some clients only need therapy for a few months in order to developed necessary skills to handle a specific stressor. While others may be in therapy for years.

Hope Adventures give clients the power to decide where they are at with their own individual goals and growth. When clients feel they are doing well and using their coping skills, they can choose to take a break or stop services. But, if things change and life throws new things their way, they are more than welcome to come back for more therapy sessions.

The 2025/2026 kidding season has wrapped up! It was a crazy two weeks but moms and babies are all doing great and looking forward to cuddling with clients.

Final baby count:
16 total (including 1 set of triplets!)
7 girls
9 boys

Kids, teens and adults all enjoy hanging with the babies during therapy sessions. Sometimes the babies curl up on clients laps and enjoy being petted while clients talk about their stressors and struggles. Other times, the babies provide some comic relief as they rump and run around as clients interact with them.

Even as the winter weather hangs around, the barn is still a warm spot to hang during sessions.

Currently have daytime and afternoon appointments available.

Did you know that animal therapy is very beneficial for adults?

With school starting, that means that holidays are right around the corner. Sometimes the holidays can bring up added stress, anxiety or even grief.

Clients can cuddle with Penny or Trixie or work with the horses. Or they can sit outside and enjoy the calming sounds of nature.

Hope Adventures currently has daytime appointments available for either in person or Zoom.

Come see the benefits of working with animals or just enjoying nature while working through some stressors or concerns.
