EQUINE CO-FACILITATED LEARNING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY...What is it?

 Equine Assisted modalities presented by Equusolutions, Inc., utilizes rescue horses experientially for emotional growth and learning.  It is a collaborative effort between licensed therapists and equine professionals working with clients and horses to address treatment goals and all interventions are done on the ground, so no prior experience with horses is necessary. We are able to adapt interventions to various physical/age conditions/needs.   See YouTube interview of Dr. Williams regarding Horse Corps., our program for military women with PTSD/MST.  Go to YouTube to watch this video on using horses for healing therapy:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9rPZe1NWDk

Equusolutions was co-founded in 2009 to address complex trauma issues such as PTSD and other various forms of traumas. A considerable majority of the trauma survivors were military women; as a result, Horse Corps (horsecorps.com) was developed to accommodate these clients, and was subsidized by Dr Williams' practice, (Dr Williams’s being a volunteer clinician for givenhour.org). 

These therapy sessions help not only female veterans, but all military, past and present and also; individuals, couples and groups who are looking to cope with and recover from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or any other type of mental traumas. Along the way, Dr Williams met with (now retired) Florida Representative David Jolly along with (now retired) U.S. Army Major Tice Ridley to discuss the value of alternative therapies such as equine-assisted psychotherapy, in what turned out to be the motivation for a bill introduced in congress, now passed & known as the Cover Act. The Cover Act supports alternative therapies for veterans, so they have a choice in the type of treatments they receive for their various mental health needs.

Thanks to these types of programs that have become so successful, they have become popular as an option for mental health therapy. However, these programs are non-profit, and volunteer based, and rely heavily on donations to fund the costs associated with the ranches that are used. All proceeds collected on #GivingTuesday are utilized to subsidize treatment for those otherwise unable to pay; as Equusolutions has long standing, ongoing, private donors who donate office space, & overhead / admin costs for our program. Even the smallest donation, as in the cost of a bag of apples, would be used to help offset the expenses associated with therapies through Equusolutions, Inc.
