Healing Hooves Psychotherapy (HHP) is a trauma informed strength-based facility that offers clinical services as well as psychoeducational programs.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is an experiential treatment modality for individuals, couples, and families. Sessions are facilitated by Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT) and PATH International Certified Equine Specialists in Mental Health and Learning (ESMHL).
Unmounted EAP sessions are designed to help clients explore and experience en-vivo ways their familiar behavior and unhealthy narratives impact all their relationships. Through varying interventions, clients will have the opportunity to create new patterns and break from preferred unhealthy coping strategies in a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental atmosphere.
Mounted EAP sessions, facilitated by an LMFT and a PATH International Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor (TRI), are designed to provide a powerful opportunity for the client to deepen their sense of connection with themselves and with their horse. Somatosensory experiences during these specially facilitated mounted sessions provides the brain with quality input that aides in reorganizing the brain and promotes bottom up regulation. Jobe and Shultz-Jobe (2016) assert that bottom-up regulation is promoted by engaging the brainstem with rhythmic, patterned, repetitive, and bilateral movement that the client does not have to produce for themselves.
