Exciting Announcement!
Effective 4/1/25, our New Bern office and all providers at that location will be relocating to our Grantsboro office. This move will enhance our services and accessibility for our valued clients. Our horses are also at this location, making equine-assisted services easier to schedule, and we will have 8 office spaces for providers ready to serve! We are thrilled to continue working with you with the same dedication and care at our new location.
Our Mission:
We are a trauma-focused outpatient therapy practice offering traditional in-office or telehealth therapy and specialized therapy services including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Our trauma experts specialize in treating active duty military personnel, first responders, intimate partner and domestic violence survivors, and victims of physical sexual assault. Our CBT specialists have significant experience working with addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses.
We follow the EAGALA model of EAP. This unique process allows you to discover the answers within yourself through the help of our certified team. Each team consists of a Licensed Mental Health Professional, a certified Equine Specialist, and highly attuned horses working together WITH clients to provide opportunities for life-changing outcomes.
Client Testimonial :
"Over the last few years insomnia and dreams have affected my life, I had no idea how to manage them and why they were causing me problems. My anxiety and anger issues also were dominating my life. I did not know where to turn. I honestly thought I would suffer from these problems the rest of my life. I was referred to Valor Horses for Heroes and admit I was skeptical at first. After the first few sessions I realized this was one of the best decisions I could have made. The first initial meeting showed me that their compassion, understanding put me at ease and opened my eyes to the possibility that their approach to therapy might be what I have been looking for. In a brief period, Ken Palmer has helped me understand many things and that I am not alone. Ken, a combat veteran himself, has shown me that their therapy process WORKS and has helped me in many ways. He has shown me the tools to deal with problems and has helped me with my anger issues which has greatly improved my relationship with my Wife. I am thankful I found Valor Horses for Heroes, Ken, and the entire Staff there are a Great Group of Professionals and I look forward to getting my life back to normal." -J.B.
