Great Strides Therapeutic Riding

www.greatstrides.org
Great Strides offers equine-assisted psychotherapy. Through specially designed
interactive experiences that promote emotional healing, we build confidence, improve social skills, and help clients
make positive changes in their lives. Our farm environment provides a unique setting enabling clients to address
treatment issues on many different experiential levels that they might not ordinarily access in a therapistís
office. We assess each client's needs and develop an individualized treatment plan. We evaluate progress toward
goals on an ongoing basis. These goals may be emotional, behavioral, social, mental, or spiritual in nature. Facilitating
activities may be done while mounted on the horse, unmounted, or may not include the horse at all, depending on
the client's needs. We offer individual and small-group therapy settings. We are licensed mental health professionals,
NARHA certified therapeutic riding instructors, skilled horse handers. |
