Shire Counseling and Coaching + Hearts of the Heard
About the Modality
Equine assisted therapy harnesses the unique therapeutic power of the horse-human connection. This modality takes a treatment team approach, including a fully licensed mental health therapist, a skilled equine specialist and, of course our equine partners- THE HORSES! This modality guides you through an exploratory experience addressing your defined goals. This process enables you to gather insights about yourself by exploring your feelings, behaviors and patterns while connecting and engaging in activities with our equine partners.
These interventions are tailored for individuals of all backgrounds and abilities. This approach does not require prior experience with horses or animal experience and can be adapted to accommodate various physical needs. This treatment is ground focused and does not require physically riding horses. Through the power of mindfulness and connection, individuals are able to embark on the path of growth, change and healing.
