Have you ever been drawn to horses?
They are the perfect partners in healing and therapy as they teach us to honor and acknowledge what we feel on the inside.
Horses physically cannot mask their emotions like humans do. They “speak” through body language and read ours too. They also don’t have a judgmental bone in their body. Gently urging us to stand in our own power and truth with them.
In this program, we will hold a safe space for you to explore and interact with the horse. Choosing an activity within your level of comfort and guide you at your own pace.
These sessions hold zero expectations of what it “should” be and encourage you to create your own interpretations and solutions. Giving you strength, confidence, leadership and other tools to use on a day-to-day basis.
Working with horses is an unconventional approach to therapy that has been proven effective in treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, and more. Working and caring for horses helps patients build confidence, trust, self-esteem, problem-solving skills, healthy boundaries and decreases feelings of depression and isolation. Horses are highly sensitive and expressive animals —making them excellent sources of honest and instant feedback to patients in sessions. The equine specialist leads each session with safety and facilitates activities for the patient to explore connection with the horse. Our objective is to specify goals with each individual patient and document their progress.
This program is available to patients in residential treatment and also those enrolled in our outpatient services.
