EAP can make a dramatic difference where talk therapy can’t. Horses offer an emotionally safe space for one to do personal work. Horses will offer a willing participant a chance to try new ways of being in the here and now.
A Licensed Professional Counselor and an Equine Specialist will facilitate an opportunity to face and resolve issues in a way that allows one to experience a shift.
Types of Therapies include:
Individual Therapy
Couples Therapy
Family Therapy
Trauma Therapy
Addictions
Trauma Therapy
Trauma rewires the brain. Trauma causes the brain to be hijacked into telling the body to react in survival ways. Fight or flight takes over. Trauma causes the logical part of the brain to be bypassed. This rewiring can be adjusted with experiential treatment.
Trauma informed therapy with horses provides an emotionally safe place for developing body awareness, regulating emotions and offers an opportunity to explore those vulnerable spaces. This experiential treatment is powerful and effective.
Family Therapy
Patterns and roles are paramount in any family. During Equine assisted family therapy, there is a non judgmental, and even fun space created to get to be aware of how your family functions, and address those ever important communication skills. Whether your family is reunifying , separating, experiencing changes or stressors, family therapy can be so beneficial. So why not do it with horses!

Couples Therapy
Horses don’t lie, and while that may sound like a given in any relationship, what makes using horses in relationship counseling unique is that they provide honest feedback where we often cannot see ourselves. They provide opportunities for us to see what is working and what is not working in relationships, without judgement. Horses teach us to live in the present to be effective in our relationships.
