Healing with Horses is a partnership between Blue Mountain Therapeutic Riding and Anchor Point Counseling, bringing equine-assisted psychotherapy into a supportive, indoor-outdoor setting. The program serves children and adolescents who may benefit from incorporating horses into their therapeutic experience.
Sessions are led by a licensed mental health therapist from Anchor Point Counseling, who works alongside a PATH certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning. Together, they create individualized sessions that incorporate interactions with horses, activities on the ground, and the natural environment of our property. Horses can provide opportunities to practice communication, build trust, explore emotions, develop self-awareness, and work through challenges in a setting that feels different from a traditional counseling office.
The therapist remains responsible for the therapeutic process, while the equine specialist supports safe interactions between participants and the horses. No previous horse experience is necessary, and sessions are tailored to each participant’s needs and goals.
