Carrie Fuentes, M.A.
​
Human Relationship and Animal-Assisted Growth & Development Specialist
After graduating in 1995 from Lewis and Clark College with a MA Degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on children and adolescents, Carrie began her mental health career. Her journey has taken her into many environments, from working with troubled youth, supporting struggling parents, developing an educational program that allowed students more freedom, and running grief groups at Providence Hospice. In 2015 she completed her post-graduate work in Equine-Assisted Learning. Carrie combined her interests in alternative education, mental health, conscious parenting, and her knowledge of animal-human relationships. This paved the way for her to support parents, children, and teens in new and creative ways in order to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships in general. It is a dream come true to create an organization to help individuals slow down and dive deeply into changing set patterns through inquiry, connection, and intuition. Carrie feels the work individuals do to gain more consciousness will lead to a more caring and engaged community.
