Ellie Williams

Ellie has been highly successful in blending together a life of talented horsemanship and a deep interest in the mental well-being of at-risk children, youth, families and other individuals that can benefit from EAP and EAL (Equine Assisted Psychotherapy/Equine Assisted Learning).
In 2007, Ellie made the decision to leave a very successful career, in order to pursue her goals of providing EAP/EAL through her own organization Equiteam Support Services (ESS).
As Executive Director and Therapist for this organization, Ellie has diligently worked to attain the necessary qualifications that were needed to build ESS into the very successful organization that it is today.
Along the way, Ellie has also specialized in providing treatment to Autistic clients (Horse Boy Method) and is currently developing a specialized treatment program for Combat Veterans.
Most recently, as a result of her observation of traumatized child clients suffering from severe attachment issues, she identified a need to become specialized in this area. She decided in 2013 to seek out clinical training with Dr. Daniel Hughes. In 2016 Ellie became a certified DDP Practitioner.
In addition to this very busy schedule, Ellie is an adjunct professor at York College, teaching a course on Animal Assisted Therapies.
