Can my family be involved with my therapy at ChablisPRE?

While the support of family in any therapeutic situation is very important, family participation in an individual's therapy is allowed only on an audit basis. However, ChablisPRE does also offer couples, family, and group therapy as well.

I haven't consulted with a mental health professional -- is it still possible to be treated at ChalbisPRE?

Dr. Catherine Myton may be contacted directly at (828) 817-3700 for an initial telephone consultation, and if Equine Assisted Therapy seems indicated, a one-on-one evaluation of status may be scheduled. All inquires are, of course, strictly confidential.
