Introduction to Equine Assisted Psychotherapy

A Zoom presentation on June 12, 2021, 9:30 am to 12 Noon

Laurie Linsley, LMFT will present an introduction to Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) as a form of animal-assisted therapy. A licensed mental health professional, in conjunction with an equine specialist, uses handling, grooming, and other activities with specially trained horses as part of psychological treatment for individuals with emotional and behavioral problems. Laurie will share her journey as she became involved in EAP and began working with her clients. She will also provide information on how others can become involved in this unique therapeutic approach.

Laurie has been involved with horses since 1982. She graduated from CSU, Fresno in 1992 with a BS degree in Therapeutic Recreation. She worked for several years in psychiatric and residential treatment facilities. In 2006, she began a horse business in Anchorage, Alaska, and partnered with local therapists as an equine specialist to provide a therapeutic environment outdoors. In 2014, she obtained her MS in Marriage and Family Therapy. She is currently licensed in Alaska and California. She was certified through EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) from 2010-2018. In 2017, she obtained a Post Master’s Degree in Equine Assisted Mental Health Counseling from Prescott College in AZ. She is currently working on a new certification through the Natural Lifemanship program.
