What is Equine Assisted Psychotherapy?

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) integrates horses and other animals into the therapeutic process, offering an alternative healing path for those who find traditional counseling settings challenging. EAP's benefits lie in its:

Experiential Nature: Unlike traditional therapy relying on conversation, EAP involves physical activities with horses, providing a context for processing emotions and thoughts through active participation.

Animal-assisted Focus: Leveraging the therapeutic bond between humans and animals, EAP intentionally utilizes this connection within the therapeutic process.

Team-based Approach: EAP sessions involve both a licensed mental health counselor and an equine specialist throughout, offering a comprehensive perspective on the animal's role and fostering self-awareness.
