Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy

Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) is a therapeutic approach that uses interactions with horses to support emotional healing and personal growth. Trained therapists and equine specialists guide individuals through activities like grooming, leading, and observing horses, which promote self-awareness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills. Horses respond naturally to human emotions and behaviors, providing honest feedback that helps clients explore their feelings and develop healthier patterns. EFP is effective for various mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, offering a unique, experiential way to foster recovery and resilience.
