Healing Hoofbeats of CT, Inc. Our Mission: To foster connection and support empowerment through equine and animal supported therapy

Healing Hoofbeats specializes in working with individuals, couples, families and groups through Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. Utilizing both unmounted and mounted techniques, clients are able to work through their challenges and struggles, be it trauma-related or not, through experiential work with horses. Horses have long maintained their "wild" instincts through centuries of being domesticated,

offering themselves as the perfect partner for therapy. Horses are a perfect partner for therapy, as they utilize their instincts and keen sensitivity to non-verbal communication to assist their human counterparts in healing and experiencing new ways to develop relationships, regulate emotions and heal from invisible wounds. Our therapists are not only licensed mental health professionals, but also horse professionals as well. Healing Hoofbeats also has goats, kittens, chickens and a certified therapy dog for those who may want to work with different animals. We believe that every client is unique and deserves an individualized treatment plan to include the therapy model which best suites him or her. We also offer Equine Assisted Psychotherapy groups that focus on coping skills, social skills, parent support, coping with mental health, Veterans, domestic violence victims, substance abuse recovery, depression, and corporate team building sessions!

Not only is Healing Hoofbeats excited to now be accepting clients for Saturdays (a first for us), but we are thrilled to welcome our newest Licensed Clinician, CJ Mazzalupo, LCSW.

CJ holds a Master's Degree in Clinical Social Work from Fordham University and has over 13 years of experience supporting individuals across educational, community, and private practice
settings. CJ works with teens and adults, specializing in anxiety, neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+ identities, PTSD, and disability. She takes a collaborative and psychodynamic approach, incorporating EMDR, CBT, DBT, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and the creative arts to guide clients towards self-awareness and healing.

CJ holds a certification in Equine and Animal Supported Psychotherapy through the Connecticut Human Animal Bond Alliance, and carries a lifelong belief that animals, nature, and creativity offer the most effective pathways to healing- through presence, non-judgment, genuine
connection, and self-acceptance.

When not painting, writing, or gardening, CJ can usually be found hanging out with her cat Stella or hand-feeding backyard songbirds.

Please welcome CJ to our team and give us a call if you'd like to see our availability on Saturdays.
