This is achieved by establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship and completion of a comprehensive assessment to better understand the variety of factors that contribute to the life challenges for which treatment is being sought. With a thorough understanding of the client's life experiences and perceptions, we collaborate to create a personalized treatment plan designed to meet your individualized needs using interventions known to effectively foster successful attainment of the client's goals. We incorporate a team approach which includes the client, horses, a licensed mental health professional and an equine specialist, all working together to promote a safe and supportive therapeutic environment. In this collaborative effort, we explore the causes of distressing symptoms and discover problematic patterns that prevent the client from reaching their goals. The arena becomes a learning laboratory by which the client can symbolically and metaphorically externalize life's challenges by identifying, practicing and applying an assortment of solutions to improve overall functioning. Clients gain insight into the way they think, feel, and behave; allowing them to find new ways of being, experiencing, and engaging life. This unique method of healing integrates educational components combined with experiential interactions with horses leading to a transformational journey of discovery, self-awareness, and empowerment. Using a holistic method, intra & interpersonal processes of emotional, psychological, physical, intellectual, and spirituality components come together in a way that allows you to re-author and change the direction of your life to be one that is fulfilling, balanced and whole. Therapy, while challenging and difficult at times, should be a safe and overall rewarding experience for clients. The positive therapeutic relationship results in increased skills and self-sufficiency. Sustainable recovery then puts learning into action and clients are able to be informed by the past but not imprisoned by it.
