ABOUT US

Horses For Healing, Inc., a 501(c)3 was established in 2013 with the goal of using horses as therapy partners to help humans resolve challenges related to PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other trauma related issues.  Horses For Healing is a clinical program that utilizes licensed therapists to facilitate the therapeutic work.

​

All horses partnering with Horses For Healing are trained as equine therapy partners. They love their work and the clients they see each week.  The clinical work is based in evidence-based models of practice and all therapists are trained in trauma-informed care, cognitive processing therapy, and equine therapy among other special trainings.

​

Horses For Healing provides equine therapy for children, adolescents, adults and families.  Over 200 clients have been served since 2013.  

 

In addition to serving children and families in the civilian population, Horses For Healing serves active duty, veteran and National Guard military personnel.  Programming for military includes equine therapy and the following complementary services: Ashva yoga, restorative yoga, mindfulness, acupuncture, Trauma Release therapy, acudetox, and annual retreat opportunities.
