Equine Assisted
Psychotherapy in
Connecticut
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) at Strides in Wellness is provided by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & Equine Specialist in Mental Health & Learning
Reasons to consider EAP for yourself or your child:
- There is a need for mental health treatment.
- Traditional talk therapy in an office feels awkward. It’s hard to connect and engage in that setting.
- It’s difficult for you or your child to sit still. You/they feel more comfortable talking about challenging topics when walking side by side or with the buffer of an animal present.
- You/they enjoy the benefits of nature and animal interactions.
- You/they are interested in building healthy relationships with horses and having them be part of the mental wellness journey.
- You/they are interested in gaining professional, emotional support and improved mental wellbeing.
