Equine Facilitated psychotherapy
What is it?
If you want different, you have to try different. Equine facilitated psychotherapy is different for a lot of people. The work requires that you be willing to experience transformation on a whole other level.
Riding a horse and working with an equine specialist is like diving deep into the “why’s”. Why you feel a certain way, why you struggle with particular behaviors, and how to stop them from taking over your life. Horses know when we’re stuck in a pain cycle, engaged in avoidance strategies, or experiencing fear (among other emotions).
Working with a horse, equine specialist, and licensed therapist can help you put all the pieces together, create actionable steps toward recovery, and offer you a life changing hands-on-approach to your healing.
VETERANS
A pilot study at Fort Carson, CO showed that equine therapy and learning reduced the risk of violence by veterans by 24%. Even more remarkable, the rate of suicide was reduced by 62%.
The work may be hard, but the outcome will be worth it.

In that they are not office-based interventions. EAP is engaging, interesting and does not require youth to be verbal about their thoughts and feelings.
