This is My Hope. . . .

Animal-Assisted Therapy: God's Creatures Help His Children Heal
Women and girls come to Timberline Knolls to get help and healing from their eating disorder, addiction or other disorders like anxiety or depression. Each person receives comprehensive therapy designed to get her firmly established on the road to recovery. In addition to family, expressive, spiritual, individual and group therapy, both canine and equine-assisted psychotherapy are also offered. These therapies are very different from one another, yet share one important factor in common: when concentrating on interaction with a dog or horse, our resident is not focusing on herself, her disease, or her problems.
