Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Services

The experiential process of EAP is very effective with clients who are "stuck" or resist traditional "talk" therapy.

EAP produces lasting results in a short amount of time due to the process of interacting with the horses. Unbridled Change is often able to address a clients issues in eight to twelve sessions!

Unbridled Change specializes in working with:

• At-risk youth - areas include ADD/ADHD, RAD, ODD, and other at-risk behaviors
• Adjudicated youth - anger management, ODD, and lack of impulse control
• Autism and Aspergers
• Anxiety and depression issues
• Foster Care and Family issues
• Domestic violence or sexual assault issues

What type of issues are typical?

Our services can help at-risk youth deal with the following issues:

• poor decision making skills
• lack of taking responsibility for their own actions
• poor impulse control
• argumentative behavior
• anger management issues
• authority and respect issues

Families and Foster Care families often find our services helpful with:

• communication problems
• relationship and bonding issues
• reactive attachment disorder
• parenting problems
• difficulties in establishing positive boundaries and rules
• aggression verses assertion

Each session will take place on the ground with a facilitating team made up of a licensed mental health professional, certified equine specialist and one or more horses.  The client will participate in a variety of ground activities with the horses that work on skills such as problem solving, trust, communication, and relationship skills.
