Services
Using guided interactions with horses, CHI provides somatic, experiential trauma therapy to help people heal through nervous system informed care. Equine-assisted therapy offers powerful, relationship-based experiences that support regulation, safety, and true emotional self control. Our somatic approaches offer effective alternatives to traditional talk therapy, helping people heal through connection, regulation, and real-life experiences that support lasting positive change.
CHI offers thoughtfully designed skills building programs that are science-backed, body-centered, and guided by each client. Using guided interactions with horses, this is the "practice" time that backs up therapy or a stand alone for someone wanting to build real world skills outside of a therapeutic setting.
We offer both therapist led and coach led group therapy & experiences as well as integration circles that support trauma healing, connection, and practicing new ways of relating in a safe setting of peers. Interactive, growth focused groups utilizing equine activities can build teamwork, leadership, self awareness, and communication skills. Several programs are available and programs can be customized to best suit businesses and community organizations who are interested in contracting with us for their organization.
Participants work with others in a supportive small group setting working with the horses & observing others doing the same.
Cascadia Healing & Integration partners with community based organizations to bring trauma focused, experiential mental health and skills building programs to the people who need them the most. Our team has experience collaborating with organizations such as correctional facilities, inpatient treatment centers, intensive outpatient centers, domestic violence support organizations, and youth service providers. We provide these important community resources support by providing engaging, body-centered, and equine assisted services that support emotional regulation, resilience, communication, and personal growth. Our approach is adaptable, relationship centered, and designed to complement existing services while creating meaningful opportunities for healing, skills development, and positive change.
