While our EAGALA Certified therapist, together with our equine specialist promote an experiential model of therapy, we also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Brief Therapy techniques.
Equine Assisted Therapy
Whether it’s a nuzzle of their nose, a welcoming whinny or simply eating from your hand, spending time with horses can make us feel better, calmer and even happier. Time spent with an animal truly translates into a meaningful, healing experience. That’s the goal of equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP), an increasingly popular experiential treatment where individuals interact with horses in a variety of activities, including grooming, feeding, walking and equine games, for improving their psychological health.
