The Story Behind the Work
Think of it like training a horse — you can't force trust, you have to earn it. Therapy works the same way.

Peggy Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor & Peak Performance Coach
I've spent the past 15 years helping people break through mental barriers — whether that's an athlete freezing before a big competition, or someone stuck in anxiety patterns they can't seem to shake. My office is in Abilene, Texas, but my approach isn't traditional: I combine equine-assisted therapy with NLP and clinical hypnotherapy to reach places that talk therapy alone often can't. I've coached athletes in everything from cutting horse trials to Olympic-level track and field.
