Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) at Project HNG in Fairview, NC.
Our equine facilitated psychotherapy program offers individuals of all ages the opportunity to experience emotional growth, body-awareness, and improved relationships through guided therapeutic interactions with horses. Sessions are tailored to meet the needs of each participant and are facilitated by Amy Allemana, a licensed clinical social worker and graduate of The HERD (Human-Equine Relational Development) Institute, an internationally recognized certification program that integrates trauma-informed care with relational attachment theory to fully experience the healing power of the horse-human connection. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or personal growth, our program provides a safe and supportive environment for meaningful breakthroughs.
No horse experience is necessary and no horseback riding is involved. Sessions take place on the ground and outdoors. We take most United Behavioral Health Care, Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO, and Aetna plans. Self pay options are also available.
Counseling that serves Connection

See my listing on the Jung Institute of Chicago’s list of Professional Affiliate Members.
I opened Butterfly Medicine Counseling after encountering my own mid-life journey without supportive resources. I found relief in the healing arts of astrology, dreams and tarot and was inspired to enroll in a professional Jungian studies program.
I help mid-life women navigate their bodily experience of perimenopause/menopause with a lens that incorporates mythology, symbols, metaphor and archetypes to re-imagine your importance as an aging women. My area of interest is the unconscious and “turning a friendly face towards it” (as quoted by a fave podcast, This Jungian Life.)
My depth approach will help you to connect to a new source of inner wisdom and creativity. I’ve witnessed clients become interested and excited about their inner life resources, making the challenges of daily life more meaningful. As you learn to build relationships with the multitudes within yourself, you will participate in the world more purposefully and make deep, necessary and lasting changes in your life.
When we directly experience the wisdom of the unconscious, we experience creative renewal. As with alchemy, psychotherapy creates a sealed container necessary for personal transformation. I will approach your struggles with curiosity and compassion, allying with you to integrate the various parts of your personality for psychic individuation.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.”
