What is Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy is a unique treatment approach that pairs a professional counselor with an equine specialist and then utilizes horses as a tool to improve an individual’s emotional, behavioral, mental, and spiritual, well-being.
The Benefits of EAP:
• Improvement of life, social, and relational skills
• Development of coping skills and life strategies
• Successful organizing abilities and problem-solving skills
• Resolution of inner conflicts and repressed emotions
• Improvement in levels of self-worth
• Increase in self-control
• Emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being
• Promotes both teamwork and individual leadership
• Promotes a motivating learning environment
Fees
We currently have a sliding scale for equine-assisted psychotherapy. Scholarships are available.
