Granite Brook Therapy

Granite Brook Farm Inc. is a non-profit organization located in Foster, Rhode Island. It is dedicated to providing accessible mental health support by combining telehealth therapy and medical social work with innovative animal therapy programs. This approach aims to enhance holistic wellness and reach individuals and families who need affordable mental health services. Granite Brook Farm focuses on community members who benefit from sliding scale or no-cost sessions, ensuring inclusivity and compassionate care through community-driven wellness initiatives.

No matter where you are in your life, I am dedicated to providing unconditional support, a reliable ear to listen, and guidance through counseling to help you become the best version of yourself. Together, we will work to understand and discover the best ways to handle whatever you are experiencing. As someone living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID), and as a two-time cancer survivor, I bring a unique perspective to our work together. I understand the challenges of navigating health conditions, and I am here to support you in your journey.

I have traveled and lived in many states, but my heart always brings me back to the four seasons in Rhode Island, where I find inspiration in the changing landscapes. I would describe myself as compassionate, fun, real, and dedicated. I enjoy being a therapist because I have the privilege of impacting and empowering individuals in a way that could change the trajectory of their lives.

My focus includes medical social work related to Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, cancer, and other serious life-threatening conditions that affect our mental health. Whether you are new to therapy or re-entering the process, it is essential to find a clinical professional who is supportive, safe, and non-judgmental. I can assist you as you navigate your path and guide you to a healthier place, both inside and out.

Today, many people face nearly impossible work schedules, inadequate health coverage, employment relocations, disabilities, and economic challenges. I believe we must address these challenges head-on to help as many individuals as possible in the most affordable way. I also recognize the benefits of animal therapy in providing comfort and healing during this journey. Together, we can work towards a brighter future.

In our rapidly evolving world, many people experience heightened stress, anxiety, and a sense of disconnection from both nature and their communities. Traditional therapeutic approaches, including counseling, often fall short in delivering the support and connection that individuals truly need. The urgency to find balance, reconnect with the earth, and rediscover oneself is especially important for those dealing with severe life threatning conditions and other chronic illnesses. In-person and Telehealth Animal therapy, can provide a unique avenue for healing that addresses these challenges.

Our mission is to promote holistic mental health and wellness by offering accessible, affordable telehealth therapy combined with healing animal-assisted interventions. We strive to foster a compassionate community that supports individuals and families in achieving emotional and psychological well-being.

 Granite Brook Farm Inc. address these challenges by offering innovative wellness and therapy experiences, both online through Telehealth and in-person with animals as part of our animal therapy programs. Our services aim to enhance mental health, build emotional bonds, and educate the community about sustainability. Clients can interact with chickens, goats, and rescue cats, promoting stress relief and personal development in a supportive environment. This approach is constructive for those facing serious health issues. Both face-to-face and telehealth animal therapy provide distinctive pathways to healing that directly respond to these needs.
