Equine Assisted Mental Health/ Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy Program

Equine Assisted Mental Health services (EAMH)/ Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) seek to change the way we think about mental health services. Typical talk therapy is transformed into a hands on and experiential process with the inclusion of a horse. Horses serve as a mirror to our emotional state and provide us with honest, in the moment, feedback. Unlike people, horses are incapable of judgment and criticism, which makes them an ideal partner for the therapeutic process. The presence and connection with the horse is used as a metaphor for our personal lives, human-to-human relationships, and past experiences.
