Anam Cara: Harnessing the Healing Power of Horses for Mental Health

At Anam Cara, we are dedicated to providing a unique and transformative approach to mental health healing. Located in La Porte, Indiana, our center offers a specialized program that harnesses the healing power of horses to help individuals heal from emotional wounds and achieve mental well-being.

Our partnership with horses allows us to create a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Horses have an innate ability to sense and respond to human emotions, providing a non-judgmental and intuitive presence that can be incredibly therapeutic. Through equine-assisted therapy, our clients have the opportunity to build trust, develop emotional resilience, and gain valuable insights into their own patterns and behaviors.

At Anam Cara, we offer a range of services provided by licensed mental health practitioners. Our experienced team of mental health professionals and equine specialists work collaboratively to create personalized treatment plans that integrate traditional therapy techniques with equine-assisted activities. We have expertise in various therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, TF-CBT, CFTSI, DBT, somatic experience, and the neurosequential model of therapeutics. This comprehensive approach ensures that each individual receives the highest quality of care tailored to their specific needs. We also offer traditional office sessions with our licensed therapists.

Our team is uniquely trained in both human and horse neuroscience, allowing us to deeply understand and facilitate the connection between humans and horses for optimal healing outcomes.

Located in the picturesque surroundings of Northwest Indiana, our center provides a peaceful and serene setting for healing and growth. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the presence of our gentle and intuitive horses, creates an ideal environment for individuals to connect with themselves and find solace in their journey towards mental wellness.

If you or someone you know is seeking an innovative and effective approach to mental health healing, we invite you to join us at Anam Cara. Experience the transformative power of equine-assisted therapy and embark on a path towards emotional healing and personal growth under the guidance of our licensed mental health practitioners, equine professionals, and our equine partners.
