We are thrilled to announce a new partnership
with the Excelsior Wellness Center!
For over 40 years, Excelsior has become one of the leading community-based nonprofit organizations, dedicated to helping youth and families achieve wellness by living improved lives.
Excelsior specializes in a wide-range of integrated behavioral health services, family medicine, and specialized holistic middle-high school education.
Second Chance Ranch's role will be to provide animal assisted
services to their clinical therapist through our program, Leading With Horses. This platform allows mental health professionals to apply Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) in their existing treatment program as an alternative to conventional talk therapy.
Leading With Horses is a free service to qualifying low-income families and underserved populations made possible by the generosity of grants and donations from organizations such as Excelsior Wellness.
We are grateful for Excelsior's pioneering spirit and efforts to bring equine-assisted therapy to the forefront of Spokane's mental health community.
If you are a licensed clinical or associate therapist interested in our services, please contact Katie Merwick for more information! Katie@SecondChanceRanch.org
