Our Story

How We Began

Ruby Ranch Mental Health was founded with a simple yet powerful vision: to bring our community in Southern Oregon evidence based therapeutic modalities combined with the transformative power of horses. Our founders recognized the unique benefits that horses can provide in therapeutic settings, and they were passionate about creating a space where individuals could experience healing in a natural, supportive environment.

Our Growth

Still in the early stages of development, we are building our team and programs. If you want to join our team of therapists or equine specialists please reach out to us at careers@rubyranchmentalhealth.org.

If you're interested in volunteering please reach out to us at volunteering@rubyranchmentalhealth.org.

Looking Forward

We hope to provide exceptional mental health services to our community for years to come.

Our Approach

Our approach combines traditional (DBT, CBT, EMDR, etc.) therapeutic techniques with the unique benefits of equine interaction, creating a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping strategies.

Our therapist and equine specialists work together to help you reach your therapeutic goals while exploring the unique relationship between humans and horses.
