Dr. Pettit's Bio

logoNatural Freedom entered into a partnership with Hopewell Health Centers (HHC) formally Tri-County Mental Health, Inc. in 2009 to offer mental and behavioral health services. We provide nature-based and equine assisted learning as CPST providers and Equine Assisted Counseling services through this partnership. Services can be funded through various funding sources. This is NOT a horseback riding program, unmounted activities only. With this partnership we have successfully completed and passed multiple CARFs and a JCAHO.

Natural Freedom Wellness Center entered into a partnership with Heidelberg University after presenting to student in the program on April of 2021. Through this partnership Natural Freedom's team members provide educational opportunities to Masters of Arts Counseling students and community members about nature-based and equine assisted learning and therapies through their new trauma curriculum.
