Equine Therapy
​
Equine therapy is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions between humans and horses. At our practice, Dr. Bianca Ramosdelrio, PhD, leads a team of skilled clinicians who specialize in treating military personnel, first responders, and trauma survivors. Our therapists utilize evidence-based approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to support clients in processing traumatic experiences while engaging in equine-assisted therapy.
Some examples of activities include grooming, feeding, and leading the horse through therapist-guided exercises designed to promote emotional regulation and personal growth.
​
Benefits of Equine Therapy:
-
Emotion Regulation
-
Stress Tolerance
-
Independence
-
Confidence
-
Problem-Solving Skills
-
Empathy
These are just some of the benefits associated with equine therapy. Horses, being non-judgmental yet highly self-aware, serve as ideal therapeutic companions. Their ability to reflect human attitudes and behaviors provides clients with valuable insight into their own emotions, expectations, and interpersonal patterns.
Treatment Applications
Equine therapy is beneficial for a range of conditions, including:
-
Behavior Disorders
-
Mood Disorders
-
Learning Differences
-
Autism Spectrum
-
Grief and Loss
-
Depression
-
Anxiety
-
Trauma-related distress, particularly in military personnel and first responders
By integrating equine therapy with trauma-focused modalities like EMDR, our clinicians help clients navigate emotional wounds, develop resilience, and foster meaningful healing.
