Our Approach
​
​Healing Hoofbeats of CT conducts its work with a deep commitment to empowerment, recognizing each individual as the expert of their own life and honoring their unique journey. We prioritize access by removing barriers to care and ensuring mental health support is attainable for all, regardless of financial circumstances. Through empathy and unwavering support, we foster an environment of true inclusion where every person feels seen, valued, and welcomed. Grounded in professionalism, we act with integrity and respect, building trust and confidence within our community and among those we serve.
Healing Hoofbeats of CT specializes in working with individuals, couples, families and groups through Equine Supported Psychotherapy. Utilizing both unmounted and mounted techniques, clients are able to work through their challenges and struggles, be it trauma-related or not, through experiential work with horses.
Horses have long maintained their "wild" instincts through centuries of being domesticated, offering themselves as the perfect partner for therapy. Horses are a perfect partner for therapy, as they utilize their instincts and keen sensitivity to non-verbal communication to assist their human counterparts in healing and experiencing new ways to develop relationships, regulate emotions and heal from invisible wounds.
