Pet Therapy

For some people, the presence of an animal makes a therapeutic setting feel more approachable. Others prefer sessions without an animal. Your comfort and preferences matter.

What we can explore

  • Animal-assisted support
  • Comfort and personal preferences
  • Current availability

An additional source of comfort

Animal-assisted work can include a therapist's animal alongside the conversation. It is an addition to a treatment plan, with its role discussed according to the client's needs.

The practice's pet-therapy program has featured Audrey, a gentle lab mix. Her photograph reflects that part of the practice's history; contact the office to ask about current animal-assisted arrangements.

Planning around your needs

Please mention allergies, fears or other preferences before your appointment. Ask about availability and whether this option is appropriate for the type of support you are seeking.
