Couple/Marital, and Family Counseling

We are happy to provide services to assist you and those people most important to you in building healthier and stronger relationships. Equines are ideally suited to participate in this form of counseling as they are accustomed to being in a family themselves - the equine herd!

Couple/Marital Counseling

Picture
Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Unsure as to why or how things changed and what to do about it? 

Through participation in EAC, many couples find that they are able to feel connected in ways they have not felt in a long time. The novelty of this form of experiential therapy has the capacity to renew feelings of intimacy and connection, while rebuilding the friendship between you and your partner. 

As both social and herd animals, equines can easily integrate into you and your partner's couple "herd" and illuminate maladaptive relational patterns. Because equines are both sensitive and highly attuned to their environment (and the people in it), they are able to respond to you and your partner authentically. Through EAC, you and your partner can gain insight into understanding yourselves individually and your relationship. Through this insight, you and your partner will have the opportunity to improve your communication and develop strategies to    
                                                                            navigate challenges that may lie ahead.

Please contact us to learn more or schedule an appointment.


Family Counseling

As equine are very social animals, the "family" or herd is integral to both their physical and emotional health. In fact, an equine's very survival can depend upon the ability to function within the herd.

For this reason, equines are easily able to integrate into your own human "herd" and provide valuable feedback regarding the nature of the relationships between you and your loved ones. Equines have a high level of attunement to relational dynamics and will respond in authentic and nonjudgmental ways to maladaptive patterns in your relationships, while also modeling a variety of relational patterns in their own herd. 

Together with your counselor and equine specialist treatment team, you will have the opportunity to improve communication and social skills, develop understanding and empathy, and strengthen the family relationship.
