Heartland Girls' Ranch in Benson, Minnesota provides residential care for girls ages 12 to 21 who are healing from trauma, emotional and behavioral challenges, or sexual exploitation. Established in 1992 on a working ranch in west-central Minnesota, it combines safe housing, mental health care, education, and a distinctive equine therapy program, with two specialized tracks — the main program and Hearts for Freedom for survivors of exploitation.

Care is trauma-informed and strength-based, using evidence-based therapies to address complex trauma and support long-term healing. Girls receive individual and group counseling, EMDR, chemical-dependency support, and daily therapeutic activities. The equine program is central: working hands-on with horses helps girls build confidence, trust, emotional awareness, and self-worth in a non-judgmental, healing space, while teaching responsibility.

Residents live on the ranch with shared and private rooms, communal meals, and structured routines, with indoor and outdoor riding facilities for year-round equine activity. Travel to and from the ranch is coordinated with referring agencies so each girl arrives with a plan for success — part of a caring environment built to help girls feel safe, supported, and motivated toward a brighter future.

Heartland Girls' Ranch accepts a range of insurance and agency placements. To ask about admission, call (833) 546-3513 for a free, confidential conversation.
