Meet the Team

A Team Approach

In every session, a team of two professionals, a licensed mental health professional and an Equine Specialist, along with participants and horses, work together to reach treatment goals.

Equine Specialist

The Equine Specialist helps to maintain physical safety for participants and horses, works with the Mental Health Professional to structure sessions, offers observations of horse behavior, and keeps notes documenting horse behaviors in session.

Mental Health Professional

The Mental Health Professional focuses on the emotional safety of the participants, creates treatment plans, and ensures ethical practice. The Mental Health Professional also helps to build on the horse behaviors by creating a metaphorical bridge for the client from what is happening in the arena, to what is transpiring in their own lives, families, or workplace.
