Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
What is EAP?
EAP is an experiential approach to therapy that allows individuals, couples, and families to explore their own patterns, gain insight into their strengths and weaknesses, and enact change in the moment. The benefits of the human-animal bond, specifically with horses, has long been shown to promote healing. EAP allows for the use of horses to help people build their own herds and corral their problems. EAP was formally developed by the founder of the OK Corral Series and EAGALA, Greg Kersten. Our approach follows the OK Corral philosophy of EAP.
Not Just Horse Play
Our ground-based exercises are not designed to teach horsemanship or riding, but rather to explore therapy outside of a traditional medical office. Feeling stuck on the couch or like you can't quite move forward in traditional therapy? EAP may be the next step for you.
Our Team
Our team is made up of a licensed therapist, an equine specialist (as needed), and our horse herd. A variety of horses may be utilized throughout your therapeutic journey.
