Equines for Freedom
Equines for Freedom-PTSD Therapy - Equines for Freedom
Offers treatments such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which offers clients a nontraditional approach to therapy.

This therapy combines a licensed mental health professional, a certified equine specialist, and a therapy horse to create a research-based treatment model which strives to resolve emotional difficulties caused by disturbing, difficult, or frightening life experiences.

The horse is an integral part of treatment because horses are prey animals and therefore are extremely alert and sensitive to the emotions of those around them.

Clients learn to identify their own emotional state by observing the reaction from the horse. The horse also helps the client stay grounded as the client processes past traumas.
