What is EAP?
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is a therapeutic approach that incorporates horses into the healing process. It combines traditional psychotherapy techniques with the unique interactions between humans and horses, fostering emotional growth and self-discovery. Participants engage in activities with horses, which can help them develop skills such as communication, trust, and emotional regulation.
What it is
Participants engage in meaningful, hands-on interactions with horses, which encourage trust-building, enhance communication, and increase emotional awareness. Sessions are facilitated by certified EAGALA professionals who create a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their emotions and behaviors. This experiential approach is especially effective for those facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health challenges.

Equine therapy can be a transformative experience, but it's important to determine if it's the right fit for you. Consider your personal goals and what you hope to achieve through therapy. If you have a love for animals and feel comfortable around horses, this type of therapy may resonate with you. Additionally, reflecting on your emotional and mental health needs can help you assess whether the unique approach of equine therapy aligns with your healing journey. An on-sight consultation with a qualified therapist is available to you if you need any assistance.
