Leg-Up
Counseling is a unique program established in 2004 that is situated on
a peaceful, picturesque farm. We serve Harford and Baltimore Counties
as well as surrounding areas. We utilize brief, intense counseling
techniques involving a collaboration of horses, a licensed therapist
and a horse professional.
Although we have a specialty with adolescents we provide therapy for
adults, couples and families. The staff of Leg-Up Counseling is well
versed in dealing with behavioral issues, depression, anxiety, eating
disorders, bi-polar disorder, adjustment disorder and stress
management. Team-Building exercises for various groups such as work
groups, scouts, 4-H members and support groups are also provided
Our horses, the volunteers, are natural counselors and teachers. One or
more horses participate in all sessions. This program is NOT about
riding, however, it is about learning and growing from activities that
involve horses. We follow the EAGALA method for Equine Assisted
Psychotherapy and Learning which recommends ground activities for
optimal treatment outcomes.
