Together with Sonas Equestrian,
Key Therapy Counseling now offers:
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
​What is involved?
Clients participating in EAP will meet at the barn in Sandy Hook. They will work with the horse that has been selected for them in conjunction with their therapist to explore aspects of self development and healing for a 50minute session. All work is done on the ground, so there is no riding involved, and all sessions are attended by a horse "handler" who is an expert in reading and managing the horse so that your therapist can focus solely on you and your process.
​​
What are the costs?
These horses are gentle, empathetic, curious, and well cared for. Care of the horses, the maintenance of the grounds, the monthly expense of housing and feeding each horse, utilities, health and wellness check-ups, and access to the handler are all taken into consideration. The fee for each 50minute session is $225 and is due at the time of service. We also offer a discount for multiple sessions purchased in advance, and reduced session rates for groups of 3 or more.
​
How does it work?
While you can schedule weekly KEAP sessions and achieve your therapy goals through this modality, you can also choose to schedule a KEAP session or two (or more) to accompany traditional therapy. Sonas has both indoor and outdoor corrals so sessions can be held in all weather. No horse experience is necessary to benefit from the work you will do with these majestic animals.
