BREAKING BARRIERS WITH HORSE POWER
terri keener, lcsw, lscsw
Terri has been working with those affected by trauma for over 25 years and is an EMDRIA Certified therapist.
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.
Throughout her education and experience in social work, Terri learned to problem-solve with both creativity and practicality. She developed an eye for seeing people as unique individuals – and a standard for treating others with a high degree of respect. This translates well into the experiential nature of working in the arena.
Terri completed EMDR training in September 2019 and EquiLateral training in March 2021. She has recently transitioned her practice out of the office and solely into the arena.
Terri is licensed in Nevada and Kansas.

She facilitates programming specifically for first responders and veterans.
Laura completed EquiLateral training in March 2021 and has been practicing Arena EMDR for more than 4 years.
“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!”
