Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Equilateral (Equine-assisted EMDR)
- "EA-EMDR is an animal-assisted approach to EMDR therapy. EquiLateral™ involves partnering with horses as sentient beings and in a manner that is supported by training, qualifications, ethical practice, and a keen awareness of client and animal welfare." (Sarah Jenkins and EquiLateral™ - EA-EMDR)
- See Equine services page for more information of other programming
Cognitive Processing Therapy
- Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a specific type of cognitive behavioral therapy that has been effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD that have developed after experiencing a variety of traumatic events including child abuse, combat, rape and natural disasters.
- CPT is generally delivered over 12 sessions and helps patients learn how to challenge and modify unhelpful beliefs related to the trauma. In so doing, the patient creates a new understanding and conceptualization of the traumatic event so that it reduces its ongoing negative effects on current life
