Equine assisted therapy
Therapy outdoors, with the horses
Equine assisted therapy is offered here at Gray Horse Farm through Gray Horse Counseling, the licensed counseling practice of farm owner Courtenay Baber, MS, LPC.
What it is
Some things are easier to work through outside, next to a horse, than in an office chair. In an equine assisted session you spend time with the horses on the ground. There is no riding, and you do not need any experience with horses.
People come for help with trauma, anxiety, depression, and big changes in life. Sessions can stand on their own or sit alongside regular talk therapy.
- Who it is for
- Individuals and groups. Team building sessions are also available.
- Session length
- Usually about an hour. Longer, more intensive sessions of up to three hours can be arranged.
- Where
- Here at the farm, 2766 Ballsville Road, Powhatan, VA.
- Who runs it
- Gray Horse Counseling. Booking, fees, and all questions about therapy are handled there, not through the farm.
