Equine-Assisted Therapy: An Arena for Adolescent Mental Health Treatment

Equine therapy, also known as equine-assisted therapy, is a type of therapeutic intervention that involves guided interactions between clients and horses. Equine therapy is used to promote emotional growth and personal development.

Equine therapy has several benefits, including, mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, self-confidence, and more.

At Evolve we believe that Equine therapy provides a perfect arena for adolescent mental health treatment, which is why we work with local certified and credentialed equine specialists, like the Stand InBalance, to provide weekly equine therapy sessions for our clients.

Thank you Dr. Vallerie Coleman, Libby Coufal, Hesper Colohan and the rest of the Stand InBalance team for collaborating on this post and all the amazing work you do with our clients.
