Equine Assisted Therapy

Equine Therapy for Troubled Teen Girls

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is a powerful tool in bringing out old beliefs that may have presented barriers in a student’s recovery. Communication is an essential part of this, and the non-verbal communication between a teen and a horse provides another treatment approach to helping a young woman change. As a massive living, breathing, creature, a horse can bring out many fears and feelings. Courage to confront those fears results in personal victories for a young woman, helping her begin to believe in herself and her abilities.
