HEAL
Healing Horses Therapeutic Center
It is our mission and our passion to bring people and horses together to promote emotional growth and learning and to help with a variety of emotional, behavioral, neurological and developmental health issues.
Direct Services
Culturally Competent Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is used to help with a variety of mental health issues. We put our clients and horses together with licensed therapists and horse specialists in an environment designed to promote healing, emotional growth, and learning.
Professional Development
EHI Training and Resource Center programs emphasize cultural competency, diversity, and inclusion training for therapists, students, and equine specialists. Some programs provide professionals with CEUs.
Therapy for Veterans & their Families
This therapeutic approach works for veterans who are unable to talk about or understand the trauma, anxiety, fear, or anger they may be experiencing, and it is also helpful for their families.
Our four-legged therapists are teamed with a licensed mental health professional and a Horse Specialist to work on the ground with the veteran and/or family.
Horses can sense emotions. Their reactions help the veteran and therapist learn where the problems are so they can develop workable solutions. The veteran learns to recognize unhealthy patterns, acknowledge their strengths, and learn new behaviors.
