EAP (Equine Assisted Psychotherapy) is a potent, experiential therapy that uses horses to heal emotional wounds and promote personal growth and learning. EAP provides tools and skills to help people of all ages develop resiliency. The work is a collaboration between the client, horse, therapist, and Equine Specialist. On the ground, clients interact with the horses. The focus is on the relationship between the client, and the horse. Horses are powerful, dynamic, spiritual beings who have survived by their instincts. They live in the moment and offer many lessons and metaphors for our own growth. Horses offer unconditional love, something that humans crave and by offering that, the animal can unlock a client’s defenses and help gain their trust where a human counselor might not be able to accomplish this. EAP addresses a variety of mental/emotional health needs including Domestic Abuse, PTSD, Substance Abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Behavioral Issues, Relationship Problems and Communication needs.
