Natural Lifemanship Counseling & Wellness
Healing happens through connection—with self, others, and the natural world.
Walk With Us on a Path Toward Healing
At Natural Lifemanship Counseling & Wellness, we believe every person deserves the chance to heal in a way that honors body, mind, and spirit. Our approach is rooted in connection: within ourselves, between one another, and with the natural world that holds us.
Step outside of the traditional office setting. You will find open skies, quiet ponds, and wooded pastures where healing unfolds naturally. Whether you are processing trauma, navigating anxiety or depression, or moving through grief, stress, or life transitions, we walk beside you as you find your way forward.
Healing begins when we connect. Take the first step today.
Where Science Meets the Heart of Connection
Our work blends evidence-based trauma care with experiential practices that invite real, embodied change.
We integrate trauma-informed, attachment-based, and relational modalities that nurture the whole person in mind, body, and spirit.
Our licensed therapists are trained in:
- EMDR and other trauma-processing therapies
- Somatic and body-based approaches
- Mindfulness, meditation, and grounding practices
- Equine and animal-assisted therapy
- Movement and expressive arts
- Sound healing and therapeutic drumming
Each session is personalized to your needs and guided by the principles of presence, regulation, and relationship.
“It’s difficult to put into words the ways in which my therapist at NL Counseling and Wellness, the NL facility and staff have changed my life. While “Life-Saving” might sound dramatic, they are the best words to sum it all up.”

Mental Health Counseling
Step outside the traditional office and into our natural sanctuary in Brenham, Texas, where therapy takes place among trees, trails, and horses.
Healing unfolds through experience as much as conversation. You may sit beside the pond, walk a shaded path, or connect with an equine partner as you explore emotions, rebuild trust, and reconnect with yourself.
We support adults, adolescents, and children seeking care for:
- Trauma recovery
- Anxiety and depression
- Grief and loss
- Relationship and family struggles
- Stress and life transitions
“Daily life used to be ruled by my PTSD. Working with NL Counseling and Wellness—and building a relationship with my horse—brought me gentle, profound healing. I am now free of symptoms and grateful for every day.”
-NL Counseling Client
Coaching & Wellness
Our Trauma-Informed Coaching and Wellness sessions help you develop healthy patterns that support mental, emotional, and relational well-being. These experiential sessions are guided by our team and supported by our herd of equine partners.
Through this work, you will learn to:
- Regulate your body and nervous system
- Strengthen communication and boundaries
- Build authentic, connected relationships
- Experience deep attunement with yourself and others
Individual and group sessions are available to meet your goals.
“My therapist creates a safe space where true healing and transformation happen. Through her guidance and the wisdom of the horses, I have learned to trust myself and live authentically.”
-NL Counseling Client
Personal Growth & Wellness Intensives
When you are ready to go deeper, our Intensive programs offer half-day, full-day, and multi-day experiences designed for lasting transformation. Research shows immersive therapy can accelerate healing by creating space for focused work and integrated change.
During an Intensive, you work closely with our therapists to uncover root causes, practice regulation, and strengthen your capacity for connection. Each experience is personalized and supported by nature, movement, and attuned presence.
Your Intensive includes:
- Extended one-on-one or small group sessions
- Real-time feedback from trauma-informed therapists or coaches
- Integration of equine, somatic, and mindfulness practices
- Optional lodging at our boutique HomePlace Inn
“Working with the NL Counseling and Wellness team helped me rediscover what it feels like to be safe in my own body. It has been life changing.”

Begin Your Journey Toward Connection
We heal when we are seen, safe, and connected.
Every aspect of our work, from EMDR and drumming to time with horses, is designed to help you restore that sense of connection within yourself and with the world around you.
Nature offers rhythm. Horses reveal truth.
Within that rhythm and reflection, you rediscover the parts of yourself ready to come alive again.
Healing begins with one step, and you do not have to take it alone.
Whether you are seeking counseling, coaching, or an immersive intensive, our team is ready to walk beside you.
