Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)
Equine-assisted psychotherapy incorporates horses into the therapeutic process. People engage in activities such as grooming, feeding, and leading a horse while being supervised by a mental health professional. Our EAP programs are paid programs (insurance accepted) and are held in collaboration with Beyond the Pines. Unfortunately, we are currently waiting on a new therapist so please check back soon for updates.
