Lacey Wise
Equine Professional, Certified Alcohol Drug Counselor (CADC II), & Certified Life Coach
Lacey is a co-facilitator of Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) services for Warrior’s Soul and has worked with horses most of her life. She learned early on that the barn was an escape from dysfunction at home – and that it was the one place she felt safe and understood.
Lacey is a Certified Alcohol Drug Counselor (CADC II), working in the treatment field for over six years including one year working at Folsom Women’s Prison as a counselor.
Lacey’s mission is to bring more EAL services to her community. Her focus is working with at-risk youth and their families because she understands, firsthand, the long-term effects of chaotic home setting. Lacey stands by the role of conventional therapy in treating trauma and addiction and also holds to the truth that it isn’t the only way. EAL services provide a safe environment for processing trauma, healing, and developing new and better coping skills for all that life has to offer.
