Certified Animal Assisted Therapist.
What It Is:
Animal Assisted therapy is a therapeutic intervention that utilizes pets to assist in treatment. I’ve found this to be an amazing compliment to traditional forms of therapy. I have seen wonderful results using this and am thrilled to be able to offer this to you.
How It Works
Animals can provide a sense of calm, comfort, or safety and divert attention away from a stressful situation and toward one that provides pleasure. Advocates of animal-assisted therapy say that developing a bond with an animal can help people develop a better sense of self-worth and trust, stabilize their emotions, and improve their communication, self-regulation, and socialization skills.
