Where every talk is a step on the path toward the future.
Good Talk Counseling specializes in connecting through transformative conversations assisted by animal companions.
Healing Guided by Compassion & Companions
At the heart of Good Talk Counseling, in partnership with Paragon Service Dogs, is a profound belief in the healing power of the human-animal bond. For clients who choose to integrate a companion into their therapeutic process, we feature dogs, cats, and guinea pigs to provide comfort, emotional support, and a sense of connection.
Good Talk Counseling brings together decades of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and unique life experiences. Our team, comprised of skilled and credentialed counselors, is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based services online or in-person that honor each client's unique life course.
