Hello Counselors,
Please take a look at our new referral for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy! The name of the organization is Pal-O-Mine.
Equine Therapy is nothing new, but it is becoming more mainstream than ever before. We have added this new resource to our referrals that provides Equine Assisted Therapy. There are a few organizations on Long Island that provide this, but I have interviewed one in particular and was very impressed.
You can find this referral a few ways!
- Look under agency tab and search “Pal-O-Mine”
- Use the new keyword feature and search “Equine”
- Use the new category subjects and search either “Alternative Treatments/Therapy” or “Equine-Assisted Therapy” or “Depression-Treatment Resistant”
This is a good referral for individuals who are stable, not high risk, who may be feeling “stuck” or feeling like traditional talk therapy has not been helpful. Please note that insurance does not yet cover Equine Therapy and there is a cost to clients. However, if a client is a military service member or first responder or family member, there is no charge!
This would be a particularly useful therapy referral for those with PTSD, which can include veterans and survivors of trauma.
Thank you,
Christine and Frank
