Center Creek Counseling includes Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) as an option. Equine Assisted Psychotherapy incorporates horses experientially for emotional growth and learning. It is a collaborative effort between a licensed therapist and a horse professional working with people and horses to address treatment goals.

Because of its intensity and effectiveness, it is considered a short-term, or "brief" approach. Individuals learn about themselves and others by participating in activities with horses and then discussing feelings, behaviors and patterns. The focus of EAP and Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is not riding or horsemanship. No experience with horses is needed.

Not only does EAP work, it is much more enjoyable than typical talk therapy. It can be a useful adjunct to traditional talk therapy. EAP sessions are designed to meet your unique needs. The activities in each session require you and the horse to accomplish a specific goal. Your reaction to the horse, and the horse’s reaction to you, not only helps “show” where sticky spots are, but how to better communicate and interact with others to accomplish your personal goals.
