The Wyoming Girls School utilizes a blend of on-site and off-site psychotherapy. WGS offers one-on-one therapy on site, or if a resident already has an established therapist from her hometown, she will continue to see that therapist via telehealth.
The WGS is able to provide therapy groups such as a substance abuse group. WGS also offers equine therapy, either in a therapy group setting or one-on-one using the four horses that live on the site. Other therapies the WGS therapist is certified in include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
