Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy Services
Connection-focused mental health and wellness support for adolescents and adults in Raleigh, NC.
We believe that everyone deserves to live a healthy and fulfilling life, and that the union between horses and humans naturally facilitates effective mind and body transformation.
“I found In-person psychotherapy in an office environment to be effective during the beginning of my career, but so often when working with young people and those who find talk therapy uncomfortable, the work was hindered by a lack of activities or intuitive forms of engagement to bring the therapist and client together and facilitate transformative experiences.
In an outdoor farm environment, we can interact with horses in many different ways. We can also take long walks and connect with nature by finding our inner children as we wade through mud puddles and build forts in the woods. These natural connective experiences bring relational psychotherapy techniques to another level by relaxing the mind and permitting more open engagement, while helping clients to experience a healthy relationship to self and others.”
