Interested in inviting horses into your healing journey? Reach out to consult about an equine assisted psychotherapy intensive.
Horses have capacity for being in the present and mindful far beyond what most humans could ever recognized. They are attuned to their herd and their surroundings, are ever-present, and have the capacity to reflect back to us our own emotion and whether we are being truly congruent in our hearts and minds.
EAP is primarily done from the ground (non-riding), as the focus is on being present and connected rather than learning skills for riding. Sessions may be simply sitting in chairs next to the horses and benefiting from their presence while we engage in talk-based therapies, or naturally flow into grooming the horses or taking them on a walk-and-talk.
EAP may be especially helpful for those experiencing:
- Difficulties adjusting to major life transitions
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Trauma
- Grief
I am also very interested in working with individuals who have their own horses and are experiencing anxiety or trauma symptoms that are looking to move past blocks preventing them from engaging with their horses as they once did or hope to do.
EAP sessions can be scheduled as weekly/bi-weekly, one-hour sessions, or as an intensive format (for example, as 3 hours in one sitting). It is important to check with your insurance beforehand, as many policies only cover one hour per day of a session, requiring the remaining balance to be paid out-of-pocket.
For your privacy and security, please do not disclose sensitive personal details in any emails.
Rates
My full fee is $140 per 55 minute session.
Sliding scale spots available ranging from $70-120 per hour, determined by financial need for those whose insurance does not cover out of network provides.

- If you are severely allergic to horses or horse feed that is likely to be present, please check with your primary care provider before coming to an EAP session.
- I am happy to work with those who are afraid of horses. We can meet first virtually and go from there, at a safe and reasonable pace.
- During an EAP session I take great care to ensure the safety of both the client, and the horse. If at any time I feel that either are at-risk I reserve the right to stop the session to transition to a safer modality or end the session.
