Back in the Saddle Psychotherapy was formed in order to provide traditional psychotherapy and psychotherapy incorporated with Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to Individuals, Couples and Families.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy incorporates horses experientially for emotional growth, behavioral learning and overall healing. It is a collaborative effort between a mental health professional, a horse and clients to address treatment goals. It has been successful in treating emotional, behavioral disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, stress and anger management, defiance, aggression, substance abuse, eating disorders and much more.
All exercises are un-mounted and no horse experience is necessary to benefit. I provide a safe environment that promotes self-exploration and growth. The horse is promoted as an impetus for healing and making positive changes in a person’s life. Horses are no longer needed to help build our cities or fight our wars. Their role as teachers and guides remains invaluable.
