More about Equine Assisted Psychotherapy:
We offer Eagala-model equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) to children at least 6 years old, adults and families. Clients learn how their behaviors impact their feelings and the feelings of others, while developing skills they need to cope with their individual situation in a hands-on learning environment. EAP helps clients externalize what they are struggling with and have an experience around it, rather than just talking about it. Treatment teams consist of a licensed mental health professional, an equine (horse) specialist and horses/donkeys. These sessions do not involve horseback riding. All activities are on the ground and focused on individual treatment goals.
An initial intake will determine if the client is best suited for individual, family or group therapy.
Individual and family sessions are scheduled directly with a therapist based on the availability of our barns and equine specialists . Individual and family sessions can run from a single session to ongoing sessions, depending on the need of the client. It is common for some sessions to be only with the client and some to involve other family members.
