Our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) program offers a unique therapeutic experience, integrating the intuitive nature of horses into our holistic approach to mental health treatment. EAP is an evidence-based therapy that has shown remarkable results in helping individuals, especially adolescents, build self-confidence, enhance emotional regulation, and develop essential life skills.
During EAP sessions, individuals interact with gentle and intuitive therapy horses at TriStar Ranch under the guidance of our trained mental health professionals. These interactions are carefully structured to provide opportunities for self-reflection, emotional expression, and personal growth. Horses, as prey animals, are highly attuned to human emotions and can mirror and respond to the emotional states of those around them. This unique dynamic creates a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their feelings and challenges.
At Juniper Haven, our EAP sessions are conducted by licensed mental health professionals trained in both psychotherapy and equine interactions. We tailor each session to the individual needs of our residents, ensuring a personalized and transformative experience.
EAP is suitable for individuals of all ages, particularly those dealing with issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and interpersonal challenges. It is a valuable addition to our comprehensive mental health treatment program, providing an alternative and enriching
therapeutic modality.
At Juniper Haven, we invite you to experience the healing connection between humans and horses. Discover the transformative power of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing.
