GATEWAY HORSEWORKS

Gateway HorseWorks delivers a revolutionary approach to mental health, trauma, and addiction treatment to champion recovery and transform lives. We are pioneers, transcending the limits of talk therapy to help people overcome their struggles through the healing power of horses. The work begins in our serene farm Center, where interaction with horses provides the connection, safety, and trust needed to achieve emotional breakthrough. Stepping into the arena, participants take the lead, engaging horses in experiential, non-riding activities. Without judgment, the horses mirror participant behavior, enabling them to self-reflect and jumpstart the healing process. Our licensed therapists and equine specialists assist clients in translating insights from the arena so they can be incorporated into daily life. Everyday we serve survivors of trauma, justice-involved youth and adults, veterans with post-traumatic stress, as well as those facing addiction or experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief. Our staff is certified by the internationally recognized Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (Eagala), which sets the global standard for educational development for mental health professionals and equine specialists in this field. We aspire to overcome barriers of mental health oppression, poverty, class, and race to make equine-assisted psychotherapy accessible to all populations, and to rebuild human connections and pathways to sustainable recovery.
