What is Psychotherapy with Horses?

Psychotherapy with horses involves a certified treatment team including a licensed Mental Health Professional, an Equine Specialist and horses. The approach is collaborative, client-centered, and strength based, which means we want your voice to be heard. This model uses therapeutic metaphor and story telling where the horses and experience can become symbolic representations of other relationships in your life. All activities with the horses are ground based which helps provide a safe space for you and the horses to explore and get to know each other (no horse experience needed). Psychotherapy with horses provides an experiential model of therapy where you participate in different activities with horses to build confidence, explore struggles and discover your strengths.
