Anna Shirley

Anna Shirley is an LCADC (Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) who has over 10 years of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment.  She is passionate about utilizing her skills of program planning, advocacy, mentoring and clinical interventions to promote human services for patients and to assist with growing professionals through supervision.  In the last year she has been exploring equine-assisted learning and services through education and volunteer work.  Anna says witnessing healing through the horse and human connection has led her to be interested in HHRF.  She hopes to help continue to promote learning of the benefits of these interactions while ensuring the safety and well-being of horse and human. 

“Being in the presence of a horse reminds me of the importance of being present.”
