Discover the Transformative Power of Equine Therapy

At Second Story Counseling, our equine therapy programs are available to clients through our location in Grand Rapids, MI. Equine therapy is designed to help individuals, couples, and groups explore their emotions and challenges in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Horses provide a mirror to our emotions, offering insights that might be hard to reach through traditional therapy alone.

Why Choose Equine Therapy?

Equine therapy involves interactive activities with horses that help to build emotional awareness, enhance self-confidence, and improve communication skills. This form of therapy does not require any prior horseback riding experience; it’s all about building a connection with the horses under the guidance of our certified therapists. The gentle nature of these majestic animals makes them excellent partners in the therapeutic process, helping clients open up and engage in deep emotional healing.

Benefits of Equine Therapy

Participants in our equine therapy programs often experience significant improvements in areas such as:

• Emotional regulation - Learning to understand and manage your emotions effectively.
• Self-esteem - Horses react honestly and without judgment, which can help build your self-esteem and self-acceptance.
• Stress reduction - The calm presence of horses and the physical environment of the stables can significantly reduce stress levels.
