      At Equine Assisted Counseling LLC, all the traditional forms of counseling are combined with a non-traditional approach using horses as an aid in assisting the counseling process.  At EAC LLC, counseling takes place both in a traditional office setting and/or out in the arena on the back of a horse. 

      For a moment, picture yourself riding on a horse as the counselor walks by your side or stands at the edge of the arena talking to your about your issues.   The rythmatic movement of the horse melts away tension.  The atmosphere, though very private, is also casual.  You breathe in fresh air, enjoy being outdoors, maybe riding a horse for the first time or hundredth time in your life, but there is a soothing connection between you and nature.  This relaxed environment may even allow you to talk more freely (as though talking to a friend) than facing a counselor face-to-face in a room.  The counselor is using traditional counseling techniques to help you with whatever your problem is, whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, self-confidence or relationships.  Aside from building a relationship with your counselor, you are also building a trust relationship with your horse.

      Not quite ready to ride - well, that's okay too!   We can start in our relaxed counseling room or in the barn with you grooming or walking a horse.  Depending on your riding ability, we may ride the wooded trail.  But, no matter where you go, your counselor will always be guiding you through your goals of counseling.

      Although EAC LLC is not about riding lessons, of course, you will be taught the riding basics and challenged to learn more to increase your self-confidence and self-esteem.  A session is typically 90 minutes - plenty of time for teaching and counseling.

     Gail Linn brings a life-time of experience with horses and 15 years of counseling experience to create this unique approach to counseling.   Feel free to contact Gail with any questions you may have or set up an appointment.
