Experiential Therapy

How Does Experiential Therapy Work?

This therapy is centered around individuals revisiting memories or past trauma in hopes that they can relive these experiences in a new light. We hope our students can feel peace and love in their present lives after working through past traumas.

An example of how this therapy works is a patient may be asked to draw a picture of their family. As the student draws their family, the therapist may ask questions about the illustration and discover how they perceives her family. Any found perceptions can then be further discussed in the session.

Types of Experiential Therapy:

Equine Therapy

Students interact with horses through feeding, grooming, and leading horses. 

Psychodrama

Patients can better understand emotional conflicts and concerns through role-playing.

Art Therapy

Patients express their emotions, thoughts, and concerns through art. This helps patients work through difficult emotions and situations in a productive way.

Adventure Therapy ‍

Adventure therapy usually takes place in a group where individuals can work on communication skills while doing activities such as rock climbing, hiking, canoeing, and other outdoor activities.  

Music Therapy ‍

Whether it is only listened to or the patient is performing music, music can improve mental, physical, and emotional circumstances.
