The Equine Facilitated Mental Health Association (EFMHA) defines Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) as experiential psychotherapy that includes equines. EFP may be used to treat a variety of psycho-social disorders such as anxiety, depression, behavioral disorders, personality disorders and other psychotic disorders as well as post-traumatic stress, grief and loss. The EFP programs at Rocking Horse Rehab are provided by our licensed clinical social worker.

Parent Time

ParentTime is the therapeutic support group for parents of the child with special needs. During this 60-minute group, parents will enjoy coffee or tea while we experience firsthand how horses are able to reach people in a profound way. Groundwork or mounted work with horses has proven to reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and help us to feel centered. ParentTime is conducted by a licensed clinical social worker with training in equine facilitated mental health.
