Experience Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning with Licensed Therapists offering Trauma Informed Care at locations in Lufkin, Zavalla and Bald Hill

Our approach

Imagine therapy that goes beyond the traditional office—where the powerful connection between humans and horses becomes part of your healing journey. In private sessions guided by our Licensed Therapists and Equine Specialists, this is the heart of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Now picture learning real-life skills—not in a classroom, but in the arena. Through guided activities in the pasture, our horses help teach emotional regulation, communication, responsibility, and healthy boundaries. This is Equine Assisted Learning.

Horses are incredibly intuitive and sensitive animals. Their immediate, honest feedback helps you recognize patterns, build self-awareness, and stay present—all within a safe, supportive environment.
