Project Hope Equine Assisted Therapies

Project Hope, a licensed counselor (LPCC) and licensed chemical dependency counselor (LICDC), has dedicated the last 33 years to supporting individuals of all ages in navigating a wide range of challenges. While Equine Assisted Therapy is not traditional clinical counseling, Project Hope understands that the presence of animals profoundly enhances problem-solving skills, self-awareness, and essential life skills. Many clients have previously sought therapy without finding lasting solutions, but through engaging with animals, they often discover transformative self-exploration. For those who have a passion for animals and are ready for a meaningful journey, Project Hope is eager to guide them. Equine Assisted Therapy is a unique form of experiential learning that combines activities with horses and clients to work towards specific personal goals. Activities can include unmounted tasks, like grooming and observing, or mounted ones, such as riding and controlling the horse. Each session is designed to foster crucial abilities in coping, problem-solving, and self-regulation. Utilizing the healing power of horses, along with small therapy dogs, Project Hope helps individuals confront their challenges creatively and joyfully, guiding them to find deeper meaning through their interactions with animals and connection with others. For anyone seeking a fresh, insightful, and enriching experience, Project Hope’s Equine Assisted Therapy could be the perfect fit.
