Equine Assisted Psychotherapy

Service Description

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is one client with a team consisting of the horse(s), Equine Specialist (ES) and Mental Health Professional (MHP). Occasionally family members are included to help work through the experiential process. Horses are worked with on the ground mostly. It is solution-oriented using experiential learning while believing that the client has the ability to change within. Horses and humans both want to be safe. Horses can hear our heart beat and are attuned to our energy and emotions making them a competent emotional communication partner for us. These are private sessions and we adhere to a strict code of ethics. Contact tara@cloud9ranch.ca for more information on why we use horses in therapy.
