Maybe y ou’ve been feeling a sense of dread or you know you worry “too much”. Perhaps you keep trying but cannot seem to stop your thoughts or get unstuck —thoughts of failure or regret or worry of the future persist. No one would guess this as you look fine, but on the inside you feel fake. This cycle of trying and not succeeding can lead to a sense of hopelessness or that something is really wrong with you. After working with many people who feel that way I have come to the conclusion it is not for lack of trying but of not being able to find the right approach. One size does not fit all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1647309172949-DELBIH224WV5W39YO4GX/Screen+Shot+2022-03-14+at+8.51.18+PM.png Elgin, IL Felicia-Marie Nicosia, LCPC Crystal Lake Counselor Specializing in Anxiety and Trauma Online Counselor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/a187086d-3189-40df-912b-0b844250d3cf/people-3112331_1920.jpg Elgin, IL Anxiety and Depression Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1741201793901-CH34AIGV6O7XV43IF8BE/image-asset.jpeg Elgin, IL Christian Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1638231428383-SK2FF4ET6EE1A8NYS8NB/Kristina_and_Ellie_800x.jpg Elgin, IL Equine Therapy https://www.hope-reins.com/anxiety-and-depression daily 0.75 2025-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/d1b246c5-eefd-4cd0-8a62-afe31d3c3437/DKH+screenshot+headshot.png Anxiety Counseling | Depression Counseling| Trauma Counseling - Our Counselors can help Living with and managing anxiety and depression is exhausting. You know your thoughts are not always true but it can feel like easier to avoid what worries you.

Maybe you’ve tried other therapy and it hasn’t worked. That’s because emotional pain isn’t just stored in your thoughts—.it’s also stored deep in your nervous system and body. Brainspotting is a powerful therapy that accesses and releases stored trauma and emotional pain at a deeper level than traditional talk therapy. Using guided eye positioning, Brainspotting helps your brain process unresolved emotions, allowing you to: Reduce anxiety, panic, and overthinking Heal trauma at its core without having to "relive" painful memories Release emotional pain that feels “stuck” in your body Gain a sense of calm and clarity without forcing yourself to "think your way out of it" Brainspotting is especially helpful if you’ve tried other therapies before and still feel stuck. It helps where words alone can’t reach. Read Here to find out more about how Brainspotting Works https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1743644892873-765Y3L13UTZAMJ7PREYX/unsplash-image-fruWcagsi0g.jpg Anxiety Counseling | Depression Counseling| Trauma Counseling - Christian Counseling for Anxiety and Depression Maybe when you hear “You are Loved”or “You are God’s Masterpiece”, you cringe.

Many parents come to us feeling completely exhausted and overwhelmed as all the usual parenting strategies just don’t work. Parenting may feel like you are trying to pull around a 1000 lb. animal sometimes! Meltdowns may be a common occurrence and so you try to avoid leaving your house if you can help it. We will assist you in understanding your child’s developing brain and how you can find connection with your hard to reach child. And while we offer concrete support and strategies we will never judge you! Since horses are prey animals they can be very much like children with trauma. They require the same kind of skills and self regulation you need to parent a “difficult” child. We work with all families but specialize in supporting foster and adoptive families whose children have experienced trauma. have developmental trauma. https://www.hope-reins.com/virtual-therapy-christian-therapy-emotional-healing daily 1.0 2025-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1636619731827-T7BGZDI4IC9TKDB9VEEH/Hope+Reins+at+Judson+University.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1636619790227-MFLZP1V0RH9F3KTA9HUW/Hope+Reins+on+WGN+Radio.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1636619827397-CJC4HMTR62LVSG61NQ8V/How+to+Achieve+Your+Goals+Workshop.jpeg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1636619866250-7D5ZODM2JIOY3S0D36CW/Recharge+at+the+Ranch.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1663196535479-Q4J498UEV5S6YKGXFTS5/Projectstress.png Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/2e68986d-0645-42cc-8646-1885bed13579/people-3112331_1920.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/c06dfe5b-0a4e-408c-be3a-5111114cb045/Hope_Reins_040.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1680186735454-ZXVFD7PRVRV0O663URKA/unsplash-image-xtd3zYWxEs4.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1636570125415-YLM0ZZU1P0LTP6NWTV3A/rich+and+flash.jpeg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1638231428383-SK2FF4ET6EE1A8NYS8NB/Kristina_and_Ellie_800x.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1654807247448-YTLR5V0FKB9513AD37YZ/089DFEF8-0260-494D-8BA6-50B1BD346C56.JPG Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1707186427629-7VDK1DM5E2I6ME326R2O/image-asset.jpeg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1707188269531-NR6Q1D8PGT709VPM9A9Z/image-asset.jpeg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1707188819230-QNR7P3YJDO7VGB1PY9GI/image-asset.jpeg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1707246871254-QVGQMSPNK196MGZN1V3Q/image-asset.jpeg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1738353858113-YGP5NUX1U5R8AY8G641U/unsplash-image-aQfhbxailCs.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1738355768000-RT77KIVULXGFVM41Q1VL/unsplash-image--XBLm2IScGc.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/6b84f9f7-9906-4a61-9e27-4e9c8fa5a3f2/hopereins+logo.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/6b84f9f7-9906-4a61-9e27-4e9c8fa5a3f2/hopereins+logo.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/6b84f9f7-9906-4a61-9e27-4e9c8fa5a3f2/hopereins+logo.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1738366756292-NUFFWF4WWZBO5LLD19G5/unsplash-image-q8ZgKZutttE.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/ef437ca9-e0c6-4e4c-b56b-753cb24d9746/shelbyandflash.JPG Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1743207302091-AQRDWPVIX96QVRV13KL7/unsplash-image-3KGF9R_0oHs.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1743447712656-HRCT41WP1Q7THL2ARVUP/unsplash-image-3KGF9R_0oHs.jpg Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/d1b246c5-eefd-4cd0-8a62-afe31d3c3437/DKH+screenshot+headshot.png Hope Reins Counseling and Equine Therapy - More than just Talking Transformational Experiences through Counseling, Retreats and Professional Growth Welcome to Hope Reins, I’m Debra Hirschberg the founder of Hope Reins. I know you’re here because you’ve tried everything and don’t know what else to do. Or maybe you are sick of the same old team buildings/retreats and are looking for a fun and unique experience. That’s why I created Hope Reins, I have experienced what it ‘s like to be stuck, try harder and have nothing change- both as a professional and as an individual. Traditional counseling or team building methods do not always result in change. I decided to search for what does work. I found brain based science, trauma informed approaches, and experiences that produce change. We won’t just keep doing “the same old thing”. Instead, we’ll have tools like Brainspotting, Equine Therapy and Art that can harness the power of hope and connection for real change. We also believe in holistic approaches, so we can integrate your faith , and your health if you’d like. So whether you work with us in a counseling session, retreat, or through equine-assisted work, we want you to feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward. We have over 35 years of helping individuals, couples, small groups and businesses do just that. Curious about how?

Since horses are animals of prey they are highly sensitive to us and their environment. They cannot lie and do not have an agenda other than to connect in a safe relationship. As you work with the horses you will learn how your body communicates; what you fear, what you think, and alternatively when you are confident and kind. Horses require a calm and clear presence that values connection. We carry stress and trauma in our bodies and the horses will let us know when we are stuck and when we are free. In this retreat we will help you identify the internal beliefs and external obstacles that are keeping you from moving to the next part of the journey God has for you. As you work through these steps with our leaders and the horses you will connect to and understand confidence in a deeper and more profound way. We will help you identify and practice what is needed to help you succeed all while working with amazing and beautiful horses. You will leave with newfound plan and energy to achieve the goals you have set for yourself. All activities are on the ground. No horse experience needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/e36f1539-c416-4bd0-b450-5c0a9a74638e/HopeReigns-247_websize.jpg Equine Retreats | Women's Retreats| Christian Retreats - Equine Retreats in Illinois You will get to meet horses and spend time in a peaceful farm like setting.

I am a follower of Jesus and love helping people connect more deeply with God and others. I have worked over 30 years as a Clinical Social Worker and have been integrating horses into my work since 2003. As a child I was obsessed with horses and the idea of helping others. Every Christmas I woke up looking for a horse in my front yard! Many, many years later (too many to count) just days before Christmas, I finally got my wish and received a horse as a gift. I named her Grace. In college, I followed my dream of finding a career to help others. I was happily working in the field of counseling without any contact with horses for many years. In 1999, these two worlds collided at a Residential Ranch I was visiting in Utah. I participated in a horse activity and I was astounded at how powerful it was. I knew right then I wanted to do what I had seen. I had no idea how God would make this happen as I had no horses, facility or even training in this new approach. Four years later God literally put it all together. As I took the risk and stepped out to develop an equine assisted therapy program, God called me to “reclaim” His creation in order to point to Him and “Feed His Sheep”. In 2005, He gave me the name Hope Reins. My hope with this short retreat is that you will be fed (in more ways than one) and be filled with the energy and passion and of course the hope needed to reclaim what He has for you in this new chapter in your life. God is not done with you yet! https://www.hope-reins.com/virtualcounselorflorida daily 0.75 2025-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1647309172949-DELBIH224WV5W39YO4GX/Screen+Shot+2022-03-14+at+8.51.18+PM.png Virtual Counselor in Flordia - Felicia-Marie Nicosia, LCPC.

Maybe you have tried therapy, self-help and the advice of friends and yet you are still stuck. Maybe you used to love pursuing your goals, you felt excitement, and a sense of purpose—but now, it feels like you’re standing still while life goes by you. You still do what you’re supposed to do. You take care of responsibilities, meet expectations, and show up for the people who depend on you. But inside, something feels off. I’m Debra Hirschberg, the owner of Hope Reins and I am trained in Brainspotting. After seeing how traditional counseling doesn’t work for everyone, I went searching for counseling techniques that actually work. One of the more powerful and versatile approaches , I found was Brainspotting. It is an evidence based counseling technique that is based on brain science and connection. Brainspotting Therapy helps your brain process things in the background, untangling what’s been keeping you frozen so you can finally move forward. Imagine feeling free of anxiety, depression or trauma! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6164a590dbd1751caef13edb/1743687338326-JG0RWCT43T7ZBDSWSM02/unsplash-image-85SSjfHNxM0.jpg Brainspotting Therapy - Waking up with hope, purpose, and excitement again. ✨ Having energy.
