Equine Assisted Psychotherapy For Children

Schedule Appointment

Using Horses Can Help Children With:

Anxiety Disorders

  EAP can assist children who struggle with anxiety. Interacting with horses in a controlled and supportive environment can help reduce anxiety levels and promote relaxation.

Depression

  Children experiencing depression may find solace in EAP. The non-judgmental presence of horses and the therapeutic activities can positively impact mood and emotional well-being.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

  EAP can enhance focus, attention, and self-regulation in children with ADHD. Engaging with horses requires concentration and can improve attention span.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

  Children with ASD often struggle with social communication and sensory sensitivities. EAP provides a unique opportunity for social interaction, sensory experiences, and emotional regulation.

Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  EAP is effective for trauma survivors, including children who have experienced abuse, accidents, or loss. It helps process emotions, build trust, and reduce symptoms of PTSD.

Behavioral Issues

  EAP can address behavioral challenges such as aggression, defiance, or withdrawal.  Working with horses teaches responsibility, empathy, and healthy boundaries.

Self-Esteem and Confidence

  Children struggling with self-esteem can benefit from EAP. Accomplishing tasks with horses fosters a sense of achievement and boosts confidence.

Social Skills Deficits

  EAP encourages communication, cooperation, and empathy. Children learn to read non-verbal cues from horses, which translates to improved social skills.

Grief and Loss

  EAP provides a safe space for children to express grief and process feelings related to loss. Horses can symbolize companionship and healing.

Family Issues

  EAP sessions involving families can improve communication, trust, and understanding among family members.

Physical Activity

  Equine therapy involves physical activities such as grooming, and leading.  Physical movement can help release pent-up energy and reduce stress. Engaging in these activities also promotes overall well-being and can be a positive outlet for anger.
