What Is Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy?

Equine-assisted psychotherapy brings horses into a mental health session. A clinician helps connect the experience with the goals you’re working on, such as recognizing emotions, practicing boundaries, or noticing how you respond to uncertainty.

Questions to ask before your first visit

Ask where sessions take place, what to wear, and how much interaction with a horse to expect. You can also ask whether an office appointment would be a better starting point for you or your child.
