Is Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy for you?

"My first equine-assisted counseling session with Pia and her horse Jade was surprising and enlightening.  Given my total inexperience with horses and my slight fear of them, it was empowering to see how quickly I could learn to communicate my wishes to a 1300-pound animal who was willing to accept my lead when I was unequivocal, firm, and respectful, and who was happy to ignore me completely if I wasn't.  I felt something important happened and I felt kind of high on horsepower for several days afterwards." -Previous Client

​It does not matter whether you're a horse lover or a horse rider, or whether you have any experience with horses. We provide a safe and fun learning environment where the horses or other equines are our co-facilitators.  Our primary concern is all about safety for you and the horses you are working with.
  • You will get safety instructions before the sessions. No riding involved!
  • Please dress for outdoor activity.
  • ​We ask you to sign a liability waiver previous to sessions.
"Highlights for me included watching Ruby join my play by stepping all 4 feet through the ring I placed on the ground and having her reach out to me by a nuzzle from behind." -Previous Client
  • We are a non-riding facility. We can refer you to the most desirable riding opportunity nearby.
  • We also offer limited natural horsemanship training opportunities.​
  • Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy may be covered by private insurance depending on the mental health benefits of each plan.  Please reach out to your insurance provider to understand your insurance benefits for counseling.  We are more than happy to submit the services offered to your insurance company and will lobby for you.
