Seminars and Workshops

Scheduled Programs for  Fall 2010--Continuing Education for Licensed Professional Counselors and Social Workers

Introduction to Equine Assisted Counseling

Come out and experience the horses, have fun, and get CEU's for it! Learn and experience the therapeutic power of the horse. We use the EAGALA model, a solution oriented, team approach in which the client works with the horses on the ground. (No riding. This is not therapeutic riding.) Great for your stuck or resistant clients?

The first hour will be for background on the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) model, Equine Assisted Counseling,  introductions, and answering questions. We will then work with the horses for about 1.5 hrs, followed by a 30 minute processing and Q & A time.


Instructors: Darrell G. Yardley, PhD, LPC and Carl Rathz, Equine Specialist

Learning Objectives

After completing this program, you will be able to:
  1. Discuss the use of equine assisted therapy (EAT) in mental health counseling.
  2. Compare and contrast EAT to regular talk therapy.
  3. Describe the basics of the EAGALA model approach.


Psychobiology of Adolescent Mind-Body Healing: Gene Expression, Neurobiology,  Archetypes, Equine Assisted Therapy


In the morning session, we will examine the psychobiology and role of genes, neurogenesis, mirror neurons, and neural development in the mental health therapeutic process. We will then relate these to developmental imprinting and Jungian archetypes.

In the afternoon session, we will discuss the above in relation to mental health disorders and present an archetypal model, Angeles Arriens' Four-Fold Way, for working with clients. Disorders will include, post-traumatic stress, attention deficit hyperactivity, Asperger's syndrome, non-verbal learning disability, attachment, adoption, and others as time permits.

Finally, what are your challenges in working with teens? What are your own issues (counter transferences, projections?) that come up when working with teens? You will have an opportunity to work on these questions using equine assisted therapy in an experiential component of the workshop.
