Heather Hanlin Ghost Paint Therapy
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy for Gifted and 2E
How I work
As a neurodivergent therapist I will tailor your treatment to your unique needs. To do this I work from a person-centered approach giving you a lot of choice and autonomy. I’m also tracking what is happening in the moment, how what is happening is impacting your body and your brain, or gently challenging you to think about things in a different way.
Methods I use
I am level 2 trained in Natural Lifemanship Trauma Informed Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, TF-EAP and in the process of becoming certified. I have training in Internal Family Systems, IFS (but I am not Level 1 trained). Currently training in Intimacy from the Inside Out, IFIO.

Sand Tray is a 3D exploration of inner wisdom by creating a scene with miniature figures/items in sand.
I might not be a good fit if you are looking for someone who follows a formula such as CBT, DBT, EMDR or Gottman. I also don’t work with eating disorders or directly with addiction. I provide out patient services and am not equipped to treat crisis situations. If you are in crisis please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
