About Us
HORSES=FREEDOM
Our program provides Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) services related to mental health and personal development. Our team approach is comprised of a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, a horse/pony, and YOU! A standard session incorporates horses as the active facilitator for change, and creates a metaphoric parallel to the client's life. Our equine-assisted work is conducted on the ground. We do not incorporate any mounted work. Our goal for treatment is to nurture and encourage the unlimited potential in every person that we work with and we believe that our clients can discover the best solutions for themselves.
We welcome you to experience this positive and supportive environment. Your participation and openness will enable you to create a deeper connection with yourself as well as with others by exploring your feelings, behaviors and patterns.
This program is designed to help you in social, emotional, cognitive, or behavioral ways specifically teaching you trust-building and leadership skills as well as developing healthy coping skills. All can benefit from this work including those suffering with grief, loss, trauma, lack of self-esteem, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction.
A HORSE?
Horses provide us with a unique opportunity to be truly grounded and present. This allows us to look within ourselves and explore our many layers. We work together to support you in finding your true self so that you can gain the clarity to tackle any challenge or obstacle that you may be facing. Horses are completely present and will provide you with immediate, non-judgmental, and honest feedback. We often hear the term "horsepower," and we associate it with a unit measurement of power but I will refer to "horsepower" in a different way. Horses possess an incredible intuitiveness and the ability to read an individual. As prey animals, their survival depends on this intuitiveness. Horses have been loyal companions for man for centuries and the relationships formed between the horse and man has been one that is congruent, honest, and genuine. This is truly HORSEPOWER!
MAGIC
This will be your experience and your story. The only thing that you need to do is to be open and let the magic happen. The connection between a person and a horse is something that is far greater than one can begin to describe. Come on this incredible journey and start living your best life!
