Transformative Growth Counseling launches clinician-led, ground-based equine therapy, offering trauma-informed support for emotional growth.

NAPERVILLE, IL, UNITED STATES, December 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nonprofit introduces trauma-informed equine-assisted therapy designed as a therapeutic service—not riding lessons

Transformative Growth Counseling, a nonprofit mental health organization, announced the launch of its Equine-Assisted Therapy program, a clinically guided, ground-based therapeutic service designed to support emotional regulation, communication, and personal growth. Unlike horseback riding lessons or recreational equine programs, this service is led by licensed clinicians and integrated into individualized treatment plans.
Equine-assisted therapy at Transformative Growth Counseling is a clinically supported treatment approach that incorporates intentional, structured interaction between clients and horses. All sessions are conducted on the ground, with no riding involved, and are facilitated by clinicians trained in equine-assisted therapeutic methods.

“Our equine-assisted therapy program is designed to be therapeutic, not recreational,” said a representative from Transformative Growth Counseling. “Each session is clinician-led, trauma-informed, and focused on helping clients build emotional awareness, regulation, and trust through safe interactions with horses.”

No prior horse experience is required
Sessions are trauma-informed and sensory-friendly
Emphasis on safety, trust, and emotional growth
Equine-assisted therapy is offered as part of an ongoing treatment plan, tailored to each client’s individual needs and therapeutic goals.
