Nominee "The Equine Healing Collaborative" - 2026 Monterey Peninsula Business Excellence Awards (Phase 2)

The Equine Healing Collaborative 

About this Nominee

The Equine Healing Collaborative is redefining mental health care on the Monterey Peninsula, one horse at a time.

As a California Nonprofit Benefit Corporation, EHC delivers Mindful Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP): a clinically proven, deeply human approach to healing that uses the unique sensitivity of horses to help clients process trauma, reduce anxiety, and build lasting emotional resilience.

What makes EHC exceptional:

✦ No riding required, all work is done on the ground, making it accessible to everyone regardless of age, ability, or experience - the horses know what to do!
✦ Evidence-based group and individual therapy led by licensed clinicians
✦ Serves clients facing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and more
✦ Operates across three ranch locations to reach more of our community
✦ Committed to affordability and access as a nonprofit

EHC exists in the space where nature, animals, and professional mental health care meet, and the results speak for themselves. Clients who have struggled for years find breakthroughs in sessions they describe as unlike anything they've experienced before.

This is healthcare. This is wellness. This is the Monterey Peninsula at its best.

Vote for The Equine Healing Collaborative - because healing should be accessible to everyone!
