Meet Your Counselor
Krystal Raley, LPC
Krystal Raley is a life-long horse lover. She experienced firsthand how supportive a horse could be as a best friend in her teen years. She is passionate about helping others find and cultivate those deep relationships with horses. Krystal received her M.A. in Sport-Exercise Psychology from Argosy University-Phoenix in 2005 and interned under Barbra Schulte of “Mentally Tough Riding.”
​
She became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2009. She has worked at several residential facilities: helping adolescents, men, and women. She also specializes in addiction (using the 12 Step Model) with dual mental health diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, Autism, ADHD, and many others. She has been offering equine assisted therapy services for over 10 years.
​
Krystal has Advanced Certification as a Mental Health Professional and an Equine Specialist in Natural Lifemanship® and became a Trainer in 2022. She partners with horses to help individuals learn and practice the principles that will create healing, safety, and success in their lives.
She believes that healing is done from the “ground up” and addressing issues at the surface only provides temporary relief. She treasures going on the difficult journey with clients to make lasting changes and find enduring healing.
Krystal enjoys providing self-care services such as Art Meditation using Colored Breathing techniques. Her favorite groups have become her new faith-based women’s and girls groups.
