Therapy that involves both the couple and their children is a different process called family therapy.
During the course of this therapy, however, the focus may shift to the parental couple for a period of time. If this occurs, children would no longer be involved in treatment.
If parents are wondering whether their children should be involved in the sessions, they should discuss this with the therapist.
We offer medication management but we try to keep an open discussion between the client, therapist, and psychiatrist as to the needs of the client.
Research has shown the individuals whose families are involved in treatment have a much better prognosis and a higher success rate.

CBT can help people solve various medical, social, work, and emotional problems. While other forms of psychotherapy involve delving into the past to provide insight into feelings, CBT focuses on “the here and now” thoughts and beliefs.
Specific skills that involve recognizing distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways are practiced, and eventually the individual can learn to behave in the desired way.

The movement of the horse as a person is riding at a simple walk gives them balance, coordination and self-confidence. The movement and unique walking gait of a horse or pony most closely resembles that of a human.
Therefore, when a person is riding a horse, the rhythm and motion is therapeutic; the body gains strength through its adjustment to the horse’s gait. A new study conducted in Texas supports the positive outcomes of equine therapy.
