One-on-One Horse Therapy

Using Equine Therapy for Mental Health Treatment

Mallory Nicklas, through H&H Connections, offers individual counseling using horse therapy. Mallory believes in the healing power of horses. Often times we feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, how to cope, how to communicate, or how to connect. Horses provide the opportunity for humans to explore and discover their abilities to do all of those things by providing authentic bio-feedback. The truth is … horses don't lie! In providing bio-feedback, human partners become more self-aware. The humans identify ways to:

Cultivate meaningful, empathic, and reciprocal relationships.
Become more mindful.
Regulate where needed.
Create healthier thought and behavior patterns.
