Find Your Path to Healing with Unbridled Psychotherapy

Welcome to Unbridled Psychotherapy, where a safe and supportive space will be provided for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behavior. Our therapist has experience supporting individuals with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and more, using evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs. 


We specialize in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, an experiential, research-informed method that incorporates horses into the therapeutic process. Studies show that working with horses can improve emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and promote healing from trauma. This powerful approach allows clients to engage in therapy in a way that is interactive, embodied, and often transformative.


No matter what brings you here, our goal is to help you move toward healing and create a life that feels more balanced and meaningful. Contact us today to schedule a consultation! Private pay for Equine Therapy (sliding scale fees available) and BCBS/Priority Health for office and Telehealth sessions.

My Story

Hello, I’m Noel Gladding, a LLMSW therapist with over 17 years of professional experience supporting individuals, couples, children, and families. My personal and professional experiences shape the empathy, authenticity, and depth I bring into my work.


As a lifelong equestrian, I grew up showing and competing with my horses, and I’m grateful to now integrate them into your healing process. Their intuitive presence offers powerful opportunities for connection, emotional regulation, and growth—helping clients access deeper insight and self-discovery.


Therapy with me may take place in the barn, outdoors in nature, or alongside horses for those drawn to this unique path of healing. I also offer traditional and somatic therapy virtually and in-office, accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield and Priority Health insurance. Please reach out by phone or email to schedule a brief consultation and explore whether we’d be a good fit!

Specialties

Healing doesn’t have to stay inside four walls. I offer a whole-person, client-focused approach with equine-assisted, nature-based, virtual, and office sessions so you can choose what feels right. I offer sessions for adults, children, and couples. In the barn, horses help nurture emotional insight and growth. In nature, mindful walking or seated reflection creates grounding and reconnection. These combined with evidenced-based therapeutic approaches can have pro-founding results, Whether you’re working through anxiety, trauma, life changes, or simply exploring deeper self-understanding, I’m here to provide a safe and supportive space just for you.

Approaches

How I can support you

Every person and relationship has their own story, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I draw from several evidence-based methods so we can find the path that feels most helpful and meaningful for you.


Supporting Individuals

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Gently challenges unhelpful thoughts and patterns so you can make lasting changes.
 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills (DBT): Offers practical tools for managing emotions, reducing stress, and creating balance.
 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages mindfulness and living in alignment with your values.
 

Psychodynamic Therapy: Helps uncover how past experiences may be shaping your present life and relationships.
 

Somatic Therapies: Connects mind and body to release stress and heal from trauma.
 

Supporting Couples & Families

Gottman Method Couples Therapy: Provides research-backed tools to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen connection.
 

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helps couples feel safer, closer, and more understood by each other.
 

Family Systems Therapy: Supports families in finding healthier ways of relating and navigating challenges together.
 

 My role is to walk alongside you—whether you’re looking to heal, grow, or strengthen your relationships. Together, we’ll find an approach that feels supportive and empowering!
