Equine Assisted psychotherapy & Learning

About Equine Therapy:

Equine assisted therapy is a form of experiential therapy that includes horses, equine specialist and mental health professional working together with a client to create positive change. 

Our therapists are certified in several trauma informed models. Equine Assisted Therapy works in conjunction with traditional training in the mental health field.

Equine activities include observing, handling, grooming, groundwork, and structured challenging exercises focused on the adult’s or child’s needs and goals. This form of therapy provides unique non-verbal opportunities for the client to enhance self-awareness, recognize behaviors that stop you from adapting to new or difficult circumstances, identify negative feelings, and face self-defeating thought patterns.

It may be used for clients with psycho-social difficulties and mental health needs that can result in significant changes in cognition, mood, judgment, insight, perception, social skills, communication, behavior, and learning.

Equine Assisted Therapy can be a powerful and enjoyable way to assist children, adolescents, and adult family members in multiple social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and behavioral domains. Equine Assisted Therapy is recognized as an evidence-based practice.

It may be used for clients with psycho-social difficulties and mental health needs that can result in significant changes in cognition, mood, judgment, insight, perception, social skills, communication, behavior, and learning.

*When searching for equine therapy for yourself or your loved ones, make sure they are properly trained, certified in a well known therapeutic model and utilize a licensed mental health professional as part of their team for each session.
