Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)

Located at Red Lion Farm in Gray, Maine, Equinox Therapy Services provides EAP for teens (age 15+) and adults who are ready to take an active role in their own healing. Meaghan and the herd help you to work towards reducing symptoms of traumatic activation. Grow as your equine partner teaches you how to set firm but gentle boundaries, guides you in understanding what you’re bringing to the session, and helps you reprocess traumatic memories to turn down the “intensity dial” and bring relief and healing.

Meaghan combines equine-assisted work with mindfulness, somatic awareness, emotional regulation, and trauma-reprocessing modalities including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR). As a trained End-of-Life Doula, Meaghan is also uniquely equipped to help those experiencing life-limiting illnesses.

Riding is not the focus of treatment - some people may never ride during their time as a client at Equinox Therapy Services. Riding may be a part of treatment after you have built a relationship with your horse and if it is indicated as part of your treatment.
