About Now I See A Person Institute

A non-profit counseling center and training Institute for graduate and post graduate students In our recovery model of community based work, we work within the entire client system. It is a “down/top” type of venue where the client is the expert in their treatment and aides in directing the type of needs for community involvement. In all of our work we embrace the idea that severe mental illness and addictions are often symptoms that make a person be seen as deficit. Often, all that is seen are symptoms and not the person, the context, nor the relationships in—or potential relationships within—the community. We think that most of the “people” we work with have the possibility of recovering their own agency, deciding for themselves the best “solutions of their own situation”, and have the opportunity to empower themselves to design their possibilities to live in a better way. Conversations evolve in a spontaneous manner. As opposed to an office setting, the ranch provides an atmosphere of normalcy. Here conversations ensue between therapist, client, and horses surrounding themes of building healthy relationships, managing conflict resolution, and promoting healthy self identities.
