The Mane Mission
Restoring Joy and Balance Through Horses and Nature
A therapeutic community where people and animals work together to heal, grow, and thrive.

Who We Are
At The Mane Mission, we believe healing doesn’t have to happen inside four walls. As a Christ-centered therapeutic community led by Licensed Professional Counselors, we walk alongside teens, families, and individuals with disabilities to restore hope, joy, and balance through nature-based mental health services.
What We Do
Who We Serve
From first responders and trauma survivors to individuals with disabilities and families in crisis, The Mane Mission partners with local organizations to support those navigating life’s hardest seasons. We proudly serve Castle Rock, Parker, Highlands Ranch, and surrounding communities offering healing through connection and creation.
We provide counseling and therapy in a way that feels natural, peaceful, and safe. Our sessions integrate the beauty of creation, quiet spaces on the farm, and compassionate care to support mental health, social skills, trauma healing, and personal growth.
Whether it’s a teen struggling with anxiety, a family working through challenges together, or an individual with disabilities building confidence, The Mane Mission offers a place of acceptance and growth rooted in faith and love.

The Mane Mission utilizes animal assisted therapy (AAT) to improve the mental health and well-being of underserved individuals and groups.
