Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Services

​

Equine-assisted psychotherapy offers a different way to engage in therapy, especially for those who don’t connect with traditional office-based settings.
 

Working alongside horses creates opportunities for real-time feedback, emotional awareness, and regulation in a more natural, hands-on environment.

​

This approach can be particularly helpful for individuals experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, social difficulties, or feeling stuck

in more traditional talk therapy.



​To get started, please book one of the following:
 

• Child & Youth Intake Application Phone Call
• Adult Intake Application Phone Call



Our team will then match you with the appropriate services.
