Effective Treatment for Anxiety and Depression

In my counseling office I offer Animal Assisted Therapy. It has been clinically proven that through petting, touching and talking with animals, blood pressure is lowered, stress is relieved and depression is eased. The presence of a friendly dog often promotes a general feeling of well being. The four-footed therapists of Animal Assisted Therapy provide something medical science can’t do, without the use of drugs.

Anne is a gentle, quiet, therapy dog who works in my counseling office. She sees her work as providing acceptance and comfort to my clients. Generally, the effect of her loving presence is to increase pleasure, calm anxiety, and decrease stress.

Therefore, in the counseling office she adds to a therapeutic environment that facilitates quicker growth and healing.

               Anne is always glad to meet            clients in the counseling office.
Anne is an AKC Papillon
 

In order for Anne to work in my counseling office I have had her professionally obedience trained and she participates in continuing education towards the goal of professional certification.

For anyone who would rather not have the therapy dog present in your counseling time, you may ask for an appointment time when Anne is not working in the counseling office.
