Partners in Progress

In this episode of Strides To Solutions, Dr. Esther Adams unpacks the therapist-animal-client triad—the dynamic three-way relationship at the heart of animal-assisted psychotherapy. Discover how a skilled clinician, an emotionally attuned horse or dog, and you form an interactive feedback loop that fosters safety, insight, and lasting change. From nonverbal cues to flexible session design, learn why this structured partnership yields breakthroughs beyond talk therapy alone. This is a public episode.
