Mental Health Workshops

Equine therapy utilizes the natural environment to facilitate growth and healing. We can talk all we want about nonverbal communication, for example, but talking about it and using it are two different things. Equine therapy is a safe environment in which we can practice the skills we talk about in therapy. The horses are well-trained, and the workshops will also be led by a licensed therapist. Combined with the unique opportunities working with horses brings, a licensed therapist can make an effective and powerful session.

Yes! Workshops are a great way to meet your mental health goals on a budget and with time constraints. Committing to a handful of workshop dates can be easier than committing to the months-long journey of individual therapy, and Lifebulb's workshops and mental health programs tend to be cheaper than individual talk therapy.

What’s more, mental health workshops have been found to be just as effective at treating many mental health disorders as individual therapy, and may be even more effective for some. For those who struggle with isolation, social anxiety, communication, emotional regulation, or specific trauma, being in nature with other people who understand where you’re coming from can facilitate healing and growth that lasts.

Our mental health workshops and programs tend to be less expensive than individual therapy. Although Equine Therapy can be more expensive, working with a rescue center like Saving Grace Rescue Farms in Virginia Beach helps us keep the cost down for our clients. For a 6-week program, self-pay costs are around $300. Insurances are accepted!
