Psychotherapy incorporating horses
One of the therapies that I offer is psychotherapy incorporating horses (PIH). The YouTube video above from Horses for Mental Health is a one example of how horses can help to create meaningful change. This type of therapy or personal growth is experiential, in real time, non-riding interactions with horses. Horses allow clients to better understand themselves and their relationships with others. PIH helps clients change and grow PIH often complements other forms of therapy.
Interventions with horses can help with goal clarification, trauma, anxiety, depression, emotion-dysregulation, substance abuse. It can improve communication, explore relationship issues, and assist in problem solving.
I offer PIH services through my PMHNP practice. More information is on the KnowingHorse website.
