Using Equine Therapy as a Mental Health Treatment

By Jesse Deildale • October 21, 2024

Imagine finding healing through a connection with a 1,200-pound animal, one that senses your emotions without saying a word. Equine therapy offers a unique, non-judgmental space where horses mirror your inner struggles, helping you uncover emotional truths you may not even know you’re carrying. If traditional therapy feels limiting, this might be the path that finally helps you break through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a question about my services? Feel free to give me a call and also take a look at some my frequently asked questions.

We’ll talk about what’s been going on for you and what you hope to get out of therapy. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other and start building trust.
Can I do trauma therapy online or does it need to be in person?
Both work well, so it’s really up to what makes you feel most comfortable and what fits your lifestyle.

You might feel emotional or unsettled at times, but that’s part of the process. These feelings usually ease as you work through things.
Can trauma therapy help with childhood trauma?
Yes, it’s especially helpful for childhood trauma. Therapy gives you the tools to work through those early wounds and build a better future.
What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work?
I know how frustrating that can be. Every therapist and approach is different. We’ll try creative and practical tools that fit your unique experience, and we’ll work together to find what helps you feel more in control and supported.
Will you tell me what to do, or will I have to figure it out on my own?
We’ll work together. I’ll guide you and offer feedback, but ultimately, therapy is about helping you discover what works for you. I’ll provide tools, support, and insights to help you along the way.
Will you help me change the way I see myself after trauma?
Absolutely. Trauma can make you feel broken or unworthy, but therapy is about rediscovering your value. I’m here to help you see your own resilience and worth, and to show you that you are more than what happened to you.
