Residential Treatment Centers

Our equine therapy program is proud to collaborate with local residential treatment centers, offering them a seamless and effective way to incorporate this transformative therapy into their services. Through our subcontracting approach, we provide residential centers with access to our experienced team and well-structured equine sessions, tailored to meet the needs of their clients. This partnership eliminates logistical challenges, ensuring that treatment centers can easily integrate equine therapy into their programs without added stress or complexity. Together, we are making it possible for more individuals to experience the profound emotional and therapeutic benefits of working with horses in a way that is both convenient and impactful.

At Groundwork Therapy, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality Equine Assisted Therapy. We limit our group size to six members to ensure an intimate and meaningful experience. Each of our facilitators are licensed and certified, prepared to create a profound group environment. Conveniently located in Auburn, CA, our barn features a large covered arena and open pastures, accommodating sessions rain or shine. All therapy is done on the ground, and no horse experience is required. Our diverse herd of horses, each with their unique personalities, are ready to help you uncover and explore your personal story. 

Why horses?

Eagala Certified

Eagala is a mental health organization dedicated to revolutionizing mental health treatment by incorporating horses in the therapy process. Eagala's Model does not involve riding, rather it involves interacting with the horses and environment through experiences that end up paralleling other areas and relationships in life. Horses are highly intelligent and highly sensitive to our emotional state, they can sense where you are at, and can respond in ways that bring breakthroughs when done either in conjunction with talk therapy or entirely as the treatment model. Each session impacts clients through experiencing, feeling, and seeing their life stories unfold and change in the moment.

"There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man."
