Equine Therapy
About Equine Therapy
To learn about upcoming Phoenix Center Equine Therapy Groups, click here.
Studies show that equine therapy decreases symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, alleviates anxiety and depression, improves self-esteem, and promotes emotional regulation. Furthermore, equine therapy helps children and families build healthy relationships. The model we utilize, Natural Lifemanship, is facilitated by licensed mental health professionals and is specifically designed to meet the mental health needs of children who have experienced trauma, such as child abuse or neglect.
While we are building our own equine therapy facilities, our trauma-informed equine therapy programs currently take place off-site at Corwin Hills Equestrian Center. If you would like more information about our current Equine Therapy programs, please email info@phoenixtx.org or visit our group page here.
Our Trauma-Focused Equine-Assisted Therapy program expands mental health care in our community – all services are facilitated by licensed mental health professionals.
Build the Dream
We need your help to create an innovative equine therapy center found nowhere else. A healing place where no child or family is ever turned away due to inability to pay. With your support, we will build all phases of Phoenix Center’s Equine Therapy Center, including an arena, barn, stables, therapy rooms, round pens, paddocks, and pastures – all specifically designed to meet the needs of children who have experienced trauma. Create your own legacy of healing and hope here.
Equine therapy fosters healing and resilience, and now, having these facilities on our own property will allow us to offer this transformative therapy to even more children and families. For children whose trauma has affected their ability to trust and connect, horses offer a safe and profound relationship through which healing can occur. By integrating this work with the incredible therapies already offered at The Phoenix Center, we are creating a space where deep, non-verbal healing can flourish.
This equine center is more than a building—it’s a bridge. It will connect the work of The Phoenix Center with this innovative therapy, making healing more accessible for those who need it most.
