Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) is a dynamic treatment, transforming therapy into a hands-on experiential process with the inclusion of a horse. Horses serve as a mirror to our emotional state and provide us with nonjudgmental, honest, in the moment feedback. EFP is a universal treatment method that can benefit all ages and a wide variety of mental/behavioral health issues such as anxiety, conduct disorders, depression, relationships, PTSD, substance abuse, communication skills, grief/loss and so much more!
Equine Assisted Mental Health services (EAMH)/ Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) seek to change the way we think about mental health services. Unlike people, horses are incapable of judgment and criticism, which makes them an ideal partner for the therapeutic process. The presence and connection with the horse is used as a metaphor for our personal lives, human-to-human relationships, and past experiences.

Testimonials:
"I’m not sure there is a word that would represent how much of a positive impact that All in Stride has had on my daughter. The improvement I have seen over a short period of time has been refreshing. Her self-esteem, confidence, and self-empowerment is heart warming. I believe horses have the ability to teach life skills and have an uncandid way of communicating, which translates to pure love" - Beth I. "Our son seemed to connect with Angelique and Cream very quickly! Impressed with the time she spent with us prior to getting to know him. She had some suggestions that might help with discovering further diagnosis". - Dawn A. |
