Deep Rivers Family Ranch is a non-denominational, bible-based therapeutic program whose mission is dedicated to uniting struggling families through hands-on application of love, discipline, forgiveness, respect, hard work and honesty. This is a seven-day program that is designed to unite families and equip them for long-term positive relationships that restore the joy of being a family.
The Founder and Director, Matthew Pettit, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Equine Co-Facilitated Psychotherapist. He worked with the former Aspen Ranch in various roles for over ten years until it closed its doors earlier this year. He has training and experience in family therapy, experiential therapy, and therapy with children and adolescents. He has co-authored a book, Generational Fathering, with his father-in-law, Gary Taylor.
Families arrive at the Ranch and the week starts out with a pre-arrival assessment session so that the experience is customized for each family. The Deep Rivers Family Ranch staff teaches some parenting skills as well as practicing parenting as a team. They use the horses to teach relationship skills to all the family members. The Deep Rivers experience will provide opportunity to practice your relationship skills with immediate feedback that families need and desire. Throughout the week the program challenges families to be honest with each other, forgive each other and build a future with each other serving our redeeming God. The program also gives the family time to interact, play, process and rejuvenate.
