The Stable Arena company information, Employees & Contact Information

The Stable Arena uses EquiLateral™ The Equine Assisted EMDR Protocol, Equine Assisted Therapy and Equine Assisted Learning. Services are provided by Terri Keener, LCSW, LSCSW, Certified EMDR Therapist, and Laura Higgins, Certified Equine Specialist. Terri has been working with those affected by trauma for over 25 years. She has worked in various public settings including community mental health, education, juvenile justice and child welfare. Before transitioning to full time private practice, she was the Behavioral Health Coordinator for the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center, serving those affected by the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting. In private practice she works primarily with first responders, veterans/active duty military and victims of violent crime. Laura has been a Horse Trainer and Riding Instructor for more than 20 years. She became Certified for EAP in 2012, and no longer trains horses, but prefers to spend time engaged in the meaningful work of EAP. She facilitates programming specifically for first responders and veterans. Laura has been practicing Arena EMDR since completing EquiLateral* training in March 2021. “During my training to be an Equine Specialist, I learned something simple and super profound about myself in one 20 minute exercise. It was something that years of therapy had never demonstrated or illuminated. Made me a believer!” Working together with horses and bringing their unique talents and expertise, Terri & Laura are able to put together customized programming for individuals, couples, families, groups, companies, and leadership teams.
