Change Your Lead: Psychotherapy & Wellness with Horses

Change Your Lead:  Psychotherapy & Wellness with Horses EAP is “hands on” in nature and involves activities that are aimed at treatment goals. Sessions currently offered in Woodside and Winters, CA.

Psychotherapy and Wellness Offerings with Horses

Change Your Lead is made up of a group of licensed clinicians and equine professionals who incorporate horses into mental health treatment and wellness offerings. EAP involves a team of a licensed psychologist, an equine specialist and equine staff. Clients are encouraged to find solutions to their current difficulties through exercises aimed at helping them understand how they interact with others and the world around them. Horses are an integral part of this process as they provide neutral, immediate and nonverbal feedback, enhancing the learning experience. EAL involves equine based activities that are not therapy, per se, but are certainly therapeutic in nature. An example of this is skill building through a social skills learning group, violence prevention, team building, early interventions for at-risk youth and classroom visits. All sessions conducted by a CA licensed clinical psychologist: Angela Sherman, Ph.D. CA License #: PSY 23689.

Change Your Lead is excited to announce that two of our team members, Lindsay & Julia are now accepting individual clients for psychotherapy sessions involving horses.

These individual sessions involve an experiential process where participants are invited to learn about themselves through interactions with horses. The premise is that the way participants interact, communicate, problem-solve and interpret information during a session with the horses is likely similar to how they approach their day-to-day interactions and environment. The facilitation approach is not focused on teaching horsemanship, learning about horses or horseback riding. Rather, it provides an opportunity for building relationship. In our sessions, individuals are invited to participate in activities with a lens for increased awareness, self-regulation, authenticity and building connections with a neutral sentient being. All sessions are tailored to individual client goals.

Topic areas include managing anxiety, confidence building, authentic connection, clear communication, setting boundaries, help with self-regulation & healthy relationships.
