Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) offers a unique and effective way to support emotional and psychological well-being. Through the presence and interaction with animals, we provide a therapeutic experience that promotes healing, reduces anxiety, and fosters a sense of connection and joy.
Incorporating animals into therapy has a variety of benefits, and often allows kids to feel more comfortable in therapy. Working with therapy dogs can improve positive emotions, enhance social skills, and allow kids to talk about feelings in a safe way. Although our therapy dogs are fully booked at the moment, they're often hanging out in the waiting room on Mondays and Wednesdays!
Animal Assisted Therapy involves the use of animals, such as dogs or horses, as part of the therapeutic process. The presence of animals can have a calming effect, help reduce stress, and encourage the expression of emotions. Our sessions include a specially curated playlist to enhance the therapeutic experience.
We primarily use dogs.
Yes, AAT can be beneficial for individuals of all ages, from children to adults.
