Animal-Assisted Therapy

Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a form of creative therapy that utilizes therapy animals to provide goal-directed therapy to individuals. AAT can be used with various psychological, emotional, developmental, cognitive, motivational, or physical concerns.

Any fear of live animals should be reported BEFORE treatment starts so proper precautionary measures can be taken and appropriateness determined.

As our therapy animals are a vital part of our counseling team, we hope that you are comfortable with their presence in our office and in your sessions. As long as they are feeling up for it, they are ready to be snuggled and loved.

Please note: We never make our therapy animals participate.

Loki

Meet Loki (pronounced "low key").

Her name comes from Norse mythology and is the name of the Norse God of mischief and trickery, and she certainly is a little mischievous.

Loki is a one-year-old black Labrador retriever. She is so sweet and very social.

She may visit you while in the waiting room or be present for appointments as often as she is able.
