Faith-based counseling for individuals, couples, & families through virtual and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP).
Welcome to Solomon Sanctuary
Hi there! I’m Shannon Solomon, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). While Solomon Sanctuary is new to Minnesota, I’ve been practicing for over two years. I love working with people of all ages and the different issues, disorders, and diagnoses they may have.
Solomon Sanctuary embraces non-traditional therapy through a faith-based, equine (horse) assisted setting, as well as virtual counseling for individuals, couples, and families and seasonal workshops.
I invite you to explore our site to learn more about us. If Solomon Sanctuary feels like a fit for you, reach out and introduce yourself! I’d love to find out more about you so, together, we can build a plan to foster change.

Why Horses?
Hear from Solomon Sanctuary’s Shannon and Cheryl:
“The method that I find helps heal, teach, and facilitate change more than any counseling theory or model is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy or Learning (EAP, EAL). I have seen so many remarkable and indescribable things in sessions that one must experience to really capture the power of EAP.”
—Shannon
“Eagala [Equine Assisted Growth And Learning Association] was founded in 1999 and is one of the first programs to develop standards to incorporate horses into mental health treatment programs. What really made me lean in and want to learn more about Eagala is the fact that the horses are not ridden. They are not haltered, they are free to chose to be involved in the process of mental health healing of humans, or they can chose to walk away. The amazing thing is that the horses usually chose to be involved. That, right there, is what amazes me. The horses chose to help us. […] Having the horses be involved made me realize how much God loves us. He brings us animals to help us, they show us where balance is. God made them with the ability to help us get to balance. I can’t fathom how much God loves us to do that for us. The horses and other animals that help with the Eagala programs are truly angels sent from God.”
