Sometimes the most profound healing happens without words. At Honey Lake Clinic, we incorporate therapy animals—including horses, dogs, chickens, and more—into our Christ-centered treatment programs to help adults experience emotional growth, build trust, and rediscover their God-given worth.
Through hands-on experiences with animals and equine-assisted activities in our peaceful, resort-like setting, patients find new ways to reflect, connect, and heal in mind, body, and spirit.
In fact, 98% of patients who complete their program with us report meaningful progress—a powerful reflection of the lasting healing that happens when faith, compassionate care, and God’s creations come together.

What Is Animal-Assisted Therapy
and Equine-Assisted Therapy?
What Is Animal-Assisted Therapy and Equine-Assisted Therapy?
Animal-assisted therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses the natural bond between humans and animals to support emotional healing, reduce stress, and build resilience. Therapy animals—including horses, dogs, chickens, and others—offer powerful, non-verbal feedback that can uncover emotional patterns and foster deeper self-awareness.
At Honey Lake Clinic, animal-assisted experiences are a meaningful part of the healing journey. Through activities like grooming, leading, trail walks, and caring for therapy animals, participants build trust, develop emotional strength, and deepen their connection with God’s creation. Our equine-assisted work with horses is complemented by interactions with a variety of therapy animals, creating a peaceful, restorative environment for lasting personal growth.

Working with therapy animals offers unique and lasting emotional benefits that go far beyond traditional treatment approaches. At Honey Lake Clinic, our animal-assisted therapy experiences help adults:
- Develop emotional awareness and self-regulation
- Build trust, patience, and nurturing skills
- Improve communication and boundary-setting through non-verbal connection
- Reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma
- Strengthen confidence, focus, and resilience through hands-on interaction
- Ease feelings of isolation by fostering connection with God’s creation
Whether you’re grooming a horse, caring for chickens, or simply walking alongside a dog on one of our scenic trails, each moment offers a tangible opportunity for growth, healing, and reflection.
Research shows that interaction with animals can lower blood pressure, decrease stress hormones, and support emotional balance. But beyond the science, there’s a deeper truth: these experiences can awaken a sense of peace, purpose, and renewed hope.
