Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy
Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy involves clients and animals co-existing in the therapeutic setting at a comfort level for both, in order to create an atmosphere of healing. Research and experience have proven animal assisted therapeutic work brings psychological benefits in both the medical and mental health spaces. We believe both client and animal have a distinct opportunity to experience a connection and companionship that diminishes fears, increases hope, and remove pressures that are often roadblocks in the healing journey. We honor the needs and comfort of both client and animal in the process, which affords all involved to have voice and choice in order to manifest an organic experience.
