Equine-assisted psychotherapy incorporates horses as partners in the therapeutic process. People engage in activities such as grooming, leading, and interacting in the herd while being guided by a mental health professional. Horses are extremely sensitive to mood and energy, and provide non-judgemental feedback and awareness to help people process emotional challenges. Equine-assisted therapy is more experiential than the traditional talk therapy, and is effective in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc47477d85b15ca7948a43/1626216495780-W4G13KNI257SDE97I36H/guilherme-stecanella-R5BW2qgV5I8-unsplash.jpg Equus North Therapy - What we offer: Equus North Therapy offers sessions at Frieze Lake Ranch, Little Falls, MN. We specialize in Gestalt Therapy: a humanistic, holistic, person-centered form of psychotherapy that focuses on the here and now. It encompasses not only ourselves, but how we relate to our environment and the other beings around us. Horses partner with us in therapy sessions and offer a healing presence and help bring awareness of emotions and thoughts through the way they relate with us. https://www.equusnorth.com/our-team daily 0.75 2023-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fcc47477d85b15ca7948a43/cbf008ab-e67e-4133-a72a-375cb8e76fc6/P6170073.jpeg Our Team - Francine Trtanj, MSW, LICSW Francine is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience providing mental health counseling in the Brainerd Lakes Area.
