Kippie A. Palesch, MA, LPCC is a Licensed Professional Clincal Counselor, an EMDR and Equine-Assisted Clinician, and owner of Stable Living, LLC. She specializes in complex developmental trauma as well as couples counseling. With a warm, creative approach, Kippie helps clients tap into their inner strength and work towards authentic well-being. She sees it as a privilege to help clients learn to trust themselves, engage fully in life and develop meaningful connection. Working on a beautiful 69 acre farm in Greenfield, MN, she has served clients from the Twin Cities area including cities such as Excelsior, Wayzata, Waconia, Victoria, Delano, Watertown, Mound, Rogers and Maple Grove.
In addition to traditional talk therapy, Kippie is also passionate about incorporating animals into the healing process. As an equine-assisted psychotherapist, she knows that horses help heal and provide opportunities for growth and learning. Studies show that horses have the potential to influence people in powerful ways. Through this interactive therapy, horses provide an opportunity to overcome fear, anxiety, depression and addiction as well as a variety of other mental health and behavioral issues. Working alongside Kippie and the horses helps build confidence, provide insights into relationships as well as engrain a template for healthy attachment.
Kippie is also a long-time practitioner of Eye Movement Densensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is a type of psychotherapy that empowers people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. By using this somatic-based therapy, people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference.
Having raised four children into early adulthood, Kippie now finds time to enjoy many activities including horseback riding, camping, yoga, travel, cooking, and reading. Her five horses, four dogs, four cats, various chickens as well as everyone’s favorite mother/daughter donkey duo are also a great source of joy for her. Kippie would welcome the opportunity to learn about you and what brings you health and happiness.
