Equine Services
Equine services are offered using research backed equine models of therapy and learning. All sessions are conducted on the ground (meaning no riding) and are designed with the individual or group in mind.
Group: Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP)
Group therapy often provides clients with a diverse perspective, validation, and a sense of belonging. The GYST Center, LLC often contracts with larger organizations to bring EAP to clients struggling with mental health, and navigating the stressors of life. Currently we run 6 groups per week for individual companies providing EAP services to those struggling with substance use disorder, co-occurring disorders, loss/grief, PTSD, and other stress induced disorders.
Team Building/Leadership: Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)
These types of EAL sessions do not fall into the category of therapy. Instead they offer a way to help groups, cooperations, and smaller companies bring individuals together. These are often 1-6 hour events that allow a group to work on skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, critical thinking, creativity, conflict resolution, time-management, and interpersonal skills.
Individual: Equine Assisted Psychotherapy/Learning (EAP/EAL)
Come work in the arena with our herd and explore what you need to move forward on your path of recovery and well-being. These sessions can help clients working through grief/loss, depression, anxiety/panic disorders, relationship issues, trauma, substance recovery, and so much more.
Outdoor Based Therapy
Outdoor based therapy takes physical activity and pairs it with psychotherapy. Both of which are a powerful method for change and create improvement in overall mental and physical well-being.
Individual
Come walk with us! Instead of sitting in an office join us out in the community and explore the local trails while exploring your own inner workings.
Group
Currently we are offering two walk and talk 8-week therapy groups. These two groups focus on setting healthy boundaries with self and others, building confidence and self-esteem, and improving overall self-image.
Talk Therapy (tele-health)
We strongly value experiential, evidence-based therapeutic approaches; however, we also recognize that talk therapy delivered via telehealth plays an important role for many clients due to its flexibility and accessibility. As such, we frequently offer online telehealth sessions for clients seeking experiential therapy during inclement weather or off months (Jan-March) as well as those interested solely in talk therapy. These virtual sessions are especially useful during inclement weather or sea
Individual
Whether you’re seeking clarity, comfort, or change, our tele-health talk therapy sessions offer a space to process your thoughts, and work through life challenges. We continue our experiential therapy philosophy in every online session, emphasizing a solution-oriented approach and honoring you as the expert of your own life. We’re here to support you—anytime, anywhere.
