Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy


Provides a metaphoric experience with horses to promote emotional growth. This experiential therapy teaches humans about themselves, allows recognition of dysfunctional patterns of behavior, and helps define healthy relationships. The horse assists in making clients aware of their emotional state as the horse responds in reaction to their own behavior. Our program offers the services of a trained Equine Specialist with the Equine Facilitated Mental Health Association (EFMHA), who ensures the safety and well-being of the equine, client, and therapist participating in EFP sessions. The ES works in conjunction with a licensed behavioral health professional, interpreting the horses’ behavior and reaction to the client.~
