Animal-assisted Therapy - In-Person sessions will be joined by my dogs, Dixie and Sable!

Animals can play a role in coregulation. The presence of a dog can be soothing, reducing symptoms of anxiety, and bring a sense of connection to another that may have been truncated during trauma. Some clients find that they are able to connect better to animals than people.

Here’s a link about the benefits of animal therapy: Animal-assisted therapy.

Dogs on the therapy couch. When clients choose to sit on a pilates ball or rolling chair, the dogs come to hang out.

When clients choose to sit elsewhere, like on the exercise ball or a rolling chair, the girls join us on the couch.
