I’m so glad you’re here.
If you’re searching for support because you:
often feel anxious or overwhelmed
have had experiences that have left you feeling disconnected, hopeless, or numb
would call yourself a perfectionist and/or people-pleaser
or are struggling to know and accept who you are, and are wanting to discover how to live life authentically and on your own terms…
You’ve come to the right place, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey towards reclaiming what is rightfully yours -
your story, and your life.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

Carla Preiss
MA, LMHCA
My name is Carla, and I work as a therapist for humans, as well as a coach and facilitator for humans and their horses.
I currently see individual clients age 18+ who struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, identity (including sexual and gender identity), eco-anxiety/grief, major life transitions, career concerns, and trauma. I also facilitate private sessions and clinics, where I support individuals in developing a true relationship with their horses based on clear communication mutual understanding, and trust.
I work from a holistic lens that considers all of who you are and your lived experience in today’s world. In order to foster a therapeutic relationship that is safe and trustworthy, I make it my priority to engage in on-going self-reflection and learning, and frequently elicit your feedback.
My work is guided by wisdom found in existential and humanistic psychology, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and somatic/experiential practices, as well as the Being with horses philosophy. As a therapist and facilitator, I am trauma-informed and culturally humble, and all sessions and clinics are tailored to the unique needs of my clients (and their horses).
I look forward to hearing your story, and embarking on this journey of self-exploration and healing with you.
