Equine-Assisted Therapy
Equine therapy at Hillhaven Hollow is a powerful way to reconnect with yourself, others, and God’s creation. Grounded in Christian values and trauma-informed care, these sessions use horses as therapeutic partners—not for riding, but for emotional healing. Clients often find that horses help uncover deep emotional truths, strengthen boundaries, and bring peace.
Curious what to expect with Equine-Assisted Therapy?
Sessions are held on the ground—no riding involved. Horses mirror human emotion and provide gentle, nonverbal feedback that helps you work through emotional and spiritual blockages in a safe and sacred environment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & More

We tailor each session to your specific needs, blending spiritual and psychological insight to help you overcome obstacles and find clarity.
