Welcome to Stable Roots
Counselling & Neurotherapy
Rooted in Connection
Who We Are
Nourishing the Roots of Connection
We are a unique therapy practice in Kamloops, BC offering clinical counselling and neurotherapy services. We support children, youth, families, and adults of all abilities. Our services are tailored to meet the unique and varying needs of those involved within a safe and supportive environment. At our farm location, our clients have a variety of opportunities to partner with animals, plants, and the natural world, interacting through our nature-assisted counselling and equine-guided development programs. Our in-town offerings include in-office counselling, neurotherapy, play therapy, outdoor therapy, consulting, and mentoring.
Humans are wired to thrive in connection with the natural world and within safe, attuned relationships. Our mission is to create a restorative space to nurture these deeply rooted biological needs to support healing and foster resilience. Our programs have been mindfully developed by listening to the lessons of nature - a nourishing environment is inherently healing, and provides the ideal conditions for growth and development. At Stable Roots, we support healing and growth - from the roots up!
Our
Approach
The potential for healing and continued development happens through connection and embodied experiences - with oneself, others, and the natural world. Because of this, all of our services operate within a neuroscience-informed framework, which sequentially promotes a felt sense of safety, connection, and regulation. Our experiential opportunities make space for participants to form connected relationships in support of healing and growth, honouring the wisdom of the body to safely guide this process.
At Stable Roots, we have the unique ability to move beyond a psycho-educational model of support, to one that provides real-life opportunities to experience attuned connection by partnering with the natural world. At the farm, one person may be drawn to the horses or connecting with other animals, while someone else may find healing by walking through the amazing pine forest trails that surround the property.
Connection may happen simply, by finding a spot to sit and chat in the garden, under a tree, or by overlooking the wetlands. The experiential opportunities available at the farm are boundless and invite exploration.
Our in-town counselling & neurotherapy services offer both in-person and virtual support. These services are also focused on supporting connections in safe and supportive environments, whether though walk and talk, play, or neurotherapy. All of our counsellors, whether on the farm or in the office, attune to the client and practice through a trauma-informed, somatic-oriented lens.
Just as a tree needs strong, nourished roots to thrive, we believe that well-being begins with a solid foundation of safety, connection, and regulation. Guided by a brain-based, developmental framework, we take a bottom-up approach—addressing the roots of challenges to foster authentic growth, resilience, and balance. From the roots to the branches, our work supports individuals and families to flourish.
Roots
We create a safe, attuned, and nurturing environment where clients feel seen, heard, and valued. Safe relational experiences are the foundation necessary for healing and growth. Like the roots that nourish a tree, these relational connections “feed” the brain’s ability to calm and regulate.
We utilize modalities such as equine therapy, movement and sensory integration, neurotherapy, and the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to support regulation from the bottom up.
Branches
Exploration and Growth. Branching out fosters cognitive flexibility and emotional resilience, helping us integrate past experiences and expand our sense of self.
Through trauma- informed therapies like OEI, EMDR, neurotherapy, somatic exploration, art and play therapy, clients safely explore, process trauma, and grow along personalized therapeutic paths.
Trunk
Leaves
Strengthening the trunk means restoring body awareness and a sense of internal control. We focus on building resilience and resources within the nervous system to support self-regulation, creating a foundation for greater balance, adaptability and well-being.
By strengthening these capacities, we can navigate challenges with increased stability and connection.
The leaves represent a thriving state where we can express our authentic selves, experience well-being, and live with clarity and connection.
When we are in this place, it is a time to look ahead, envision possibilities, and cultivate meaning and purpose in our lives.
We acknowledge that we are living and working on land within the unceded traditional territory of the Secwépemc Nation. We honour the land itself, and the Secwépemc people, who have been stewards of it through the generations.
