Why Equine-Assisted psychotherapy (EAP)?
Maddie is a therapist who offers alternative approaches to traditional talk therapy. She provides a safe and welcoming environment for individuals to explore their curiosity and be kind to themselves. Maddie is trained in various modalities, including Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Deep Brain-Reorienting, Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Mindfulness, Somatic Awareness, and Psychodynamic therapy. She has extensive experience working with diverse populations and specializes in trauma-informed care. Maddie has spent the last several years working/training at The Island Institute for Trauma Recovery.
Snow Moon Therapy Services will be offering Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) at Red Lion Barn, located in Gray, Maine. The services are available to adolescents and adults who are deemed suitable for the therapy.
EAP offers a unique opportunity to engage in therapy with your therapist and horses. Horses invite us to step into the most authentic version of ourselves through congruence and encourage us to be present in our bodies through attunement and acknowledgment of our feelings. By engaging in this therapy, we open ourselves up to discovering patterns in our relationships with horses and learn to set healthy boundaries. This can be a transformative experience that helps us grow and become better versions of ourselves. Our equine friends are not mere tools, rather they are invited to join us in our therapeutic relationship.
We tailor our treatment to your individual needs by combining EAP with other modalities such as EMDR, DBT, mindfulness, and somatic awareness. While riding may be a part of EAP, it is not the focus of the therapy.
