Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy
You feel overwhelmed by what you've seen and experienced.
Childhood abuse, grief, military service, emergency response, childhood trauma, bullying, disaster survival, and domestic abuse create emotional scars that can be hard to live with. Help is here.
Safe, gentle support for trauma survivors at Mountain Creek Ranch.
Help can come in unexpected ways. Experience relief through equine facilitated psychotherapy and trauma informed counselling in a calm, safe, private, relaxing natural setting.
You are there to help everyone. You see some people at their worst and rescue others from accidents, illness and death. You need to stay strong, focus and be present, even in terrible situations. But where can you go for healing, compassion and support? Mountain Creek Ranch is a soft place to land, a place to recharge, a place to come for comfort, healing and understanding.
Abuse can leave you unable to trust others and reeling from low self esteem. You may doubt yourself, blame yourself and become isolated. Physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse and bullying can leave scars on your soul that make living hard. At Mountain Creek Ranch we help you feel better about yourself, trust your intuition and create healthy boundaries in relationships.
Horses are sensitive beings with a calming presence that enhances the therapeutic process. Their ability to read and reflect our emotions in an accurate, non-judgemental honest way accelerates self understanding and inner healing.
Some of the horses at the ranch are family pets and others are rescues that have experienced trauma themselves. Similar to the ways other animals such as dogs assist in therapy, horses also contribute a strength and energetic presence to the process. We work together as a team and no riding is involved.
Unresolved trauma creates feelings of chronic anxiety, as your mind and body alerts you to danger that no longer exists.
Together, we will slowly and gently unwrap difficult emotions and memories in a way that brings peace, inner healing, acceptance, and self efficacy.
Equine facilitated psychotherapy will help heal your pain, grief, guilt, fear and sadness. You are not alone. You can reconnect with the beauty and joy in life, move forward to find meaning, gain inner strength, and experience loving connections again.
