Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy
A peaceful place to connect, reflect, and grow—alongside horses and mini donkeys.
Healing Alongside Horses
Equine-assisted psychotherapy brings mental health counseling into a peaceful outdoor setting. Guided experiences with horses and mini donkeys can provide opportunities to notice emotions, explore relationships, and practice new ways of responding.
What Happens in a Session?
Sessions are facilitated by a mental health professional and tailored to your needs. Depending on your goals, activities may include observing, grooming, leading, mindfulness, reflection, and guided interaction with the animals.
Ground-Based Sessions Only
All equine-assisted psychotherapy sessions are currently ground-based. Horseback riding is not offered. No prior horse experience is necessary.
Who Can Benefit?
Children, adolescents, adults, and families may explore equine-assisted psychotherapy when it is clinically appropriate. Together, we will discuss whether this setting is a good fit for your goals.
