Northwest Hearts United

NW Hearts United provides ongoing equine facilitated trauma-informed services in Whatcom, Skagit, King and Snohomish Counties and special projects elsewhere. We offer ongoing individual and group services for youth, adults, families, veterans, service providers and much more! Equine facilitated methods are restorative, trauma-informed solutions that bring the heart and the head into balance for life-changing permanent shifts.

Sometimes the solution needs more than words…it needs to get to the heart of the matter. ​

How?

We collaborate with a network of approved off-site locations/herds and mental health professionals in the Upper Puget Sound region to offer places where the horse-human connection is allowed to expand and grow.

​Our team carries a variety of professional and personal experiences that strengthen our ability to assist youth, adults, families, and veterans in transition from crisis, challenge or conflict to connection and growth. Our whole-person, trauma informed methods provide lasting transformation.

NW Hearts United’s unique EFMHL Programs helps create inner strength, peace and focus. People struggling to cope and thrive are often carrying deep pain, anxiety or anger they don’t understand and can’t explain. Difficult memories can be frightening to deal with. For traumatized kids and adults trusting other people is a huge risk. They’ve learned to protect themselves by shutting out people who try to reach them. That’s where horses come in. The experience of interacting with a horse—a sympathetic, gentle giant who doesn’t lie, doesn’t judge, sees through pretense, and communicates without words can be powerfully transformative for helping people get “unstuck.”
