Celebrating the Life & Legacy of Joe
My beloved therapy horse, Joe passed away on Tuesday, September 15. For years, Joe provided a safe and grounding presence for individuals navigating trauma through equine-assisted therapy.
While his physical absence leaves a profound void, his spirit continues to inspire everything I do. I have dedicated my YouTube channel to Joe's legacy. This channel focuses on mental health, trauma recovery, navigating grief, fostering connection and honoring the therapeutic power of animals including horses and dogs.
My Letter to Joe
Dear Joe,
Thank you for the compassionate care that you provided for individuals. I appreciated your gentle and loving spirit. I will always cherish our time together whether that was working together to provide counseling for individuals, going on trail walks, practicing liberty work, or simply just being together by taking naps or you grazing. I will always remember you, love you and carry your spirit in my heart.

Emerald Heart Counseling
Hi there! I'm Jessica Veroline, LICSW.
I'm a licensed independent clinical social worker. I help individuals in Wakefield/South Kingstown, Rhode Island and virtually in Rhode Island and Massachusetts who experience anxiety and fear about pregnancy and childbirth, including tokophobia as well as individuals navigating birth trauma. Additionally, I provide EMDR therapeutic support for individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling with PTSD, anxiety, and depression while continuing to work with their primary therapist.
The therapeutic approaches I use include:
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy
- Equine-Assisted EMDR therapy
- Supportive therapy
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process distressing or traumatic memories so they feel less emotionally charged.
