EQUINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY

Equine assisted psychotherapy is a unique way for clients to have a corrective emotional experience through the relationship with the horse. Using both relational components and physiological components clients will gain an awareness of themselves as horses have a unique way of identifying with unrecognized needs within humans. Clients will have an opportunity to work through these needs through the relationship with the horse. All of the horses used for this program are competition horses and have all been specifically selected for their unique gifts and talents, ranging from overcoming trauma, extreme protective nature, and youthful exuberance. This treatment modality is effective for the recovery population, relational issues, mood disorders, eating disorders, and adjustment and developmental issues. Equine psychotherapy is offered in both individual and group formats.
