Build a therapeutic relationship with a horse.

Using the EAGALA Model, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy incorporates a licensed Mental Health Professional and a qualified Equine Specialist working together. This team approach with horses and clients as equal partners results in an experiential process that empowers life-changing outcomes. The goal of EAP is to improve the social, emotional, and/or cognitive functions of individuals with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

Within the model, an on-site licensed Mental Health Professional with EAGALA certification will work with an Equine Specialist and participants through group sessions to discuss and process themes of trauma (not individual-specific), provide support, encourage engagement, and focus on reactions.

EAP is an un-mounted program.
