Groups Starting Early 2026!
Equine-Assisted Group Therapy Begins January & February — Join Us at Gallop To Growth
We are excited to open enrollment for our Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) Group Programs starting this January and February. These groups offer a powerful blend of connection, emotional growth, and experiential learning—all supported by our licensed clinicians and our healing herd of therapy horses.
Each group is designed to help participants strengthen emotional regulation, build confidence, improve communication, and gain deeper insight into themselves—all through hands-on experiences with the horses. No riding is involved; sessions are entirely ground-based and accessible for all experience levels.
Our EAP groups are especially supportive for teens, adults, and veterans navigating:
- Anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges
- Trauma or difficult life transitions
- Relationship and communication struggles
- Stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm
- A desire for personal growth in a unique, meaningful setting
Working alongside horses creates natural opportunities for awareness, reflection, and positive change. The horses respond to participants in real time, offering honest feedback that helps clients see their patterns clearly and practice new emotional and relational skills in a safe, supportive environment.
Space is limited in each group to maintain a personalized, impactful experience.
Now Enrolling for January & February
If you’re ready to start the new year with clarity, support, and a renewed sense of direction, our EAP groups offer a powerful and transformative way forward.
Contact us today to reserve your spot.
