Equine Assisted Therapy for Children, Teens, and Adults

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and trauma-informed care based in Arizona

Our work focuses on supporting nervous system regulation, emotional processing, including sensory challenges, ADHD, autism, and anxiety.

Sessions are available both in person and virtually.

Individual Therapy

We offer individual therapy designed around the person, not a fixed method. Some clients benefit from equine-assisted work, others from somatic, art therapy techniques, or IFS parts work yoga. Most experience a blend, depending on what their nervous system needs.

Groups incorporate mindfulness, neural & sensory resetting, bilateral stimulation, social skills, anger management & anything else that cohort needs. We are committed to designing groups based on the current need of the cohort. We don’t do pre planned “cookie cutter” groups because that doesn’t address current struggles of the cohort. Groups are kept small (under 8 participants) and run about 6-8 weeks. Summer groups include sensory swim for 90 minutes. Screenings are done to ensure the group is a good fit prior to forming the cohort.

Prices range from $80-130 per group based on the activities & staff leading the group.
