new partnership at Mane Stream!
Do you know someone looking for evidence-based treatment in a non-traditional setting? We are excited to announce Liz Johnson, LCSW, and Lizzy Ellman, PsyD., who are both intensively trained and experienced DBT therapists, are facilitating DBT skills groups for adults and adolescents that include equine interactions at Mane Stream!
What to Expect?
In Equine-Assisted DBT groups, participants will learn mindfulness skills, build emotion regulation skills, improve interpersonal effectiveness skills, and strengthen distress tolerance skills.
Why Include Equine Interactions?
Horses are sensitive to human emotions and body language, making them an ideal partner in the therapeutic process, while also allowing group participants to engage in hands-on, experiential learning and skill building. Utilizing equine interactions increases patient motivation and engagement, facilitates rapport building, allows for reciprocal relational exchanges with the horse, and provides unique ways to practice therapy techniques and build skills.
