Animal-Assisted Practice

At the heart of our animal-assisted mental health counseling program is a profound belief in the healing power of the human-animal bond. This belief guides everything we do. Our program features the loving companionship of dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, each carefully selected and trained to provide comfort, emotional support, and a sense of connection. These animals are thoughtfully integrated into the therapeutic process based on each client’s unique needs, preferences, and goals. We understand that not everyone may want an animal involved in their therapy, and that’s perfectly okay—your comfort is our priority.

Nature Therapy

Beyond the benefits of animal-assisted therapy, we also embrace the restorative power of nature. Our program is nestled on five serene acres, where the beauty of the natural world enhances the healing process. Imagine walking through peaceful pastures, listening to birds sing, watching toads at play, meeting in the cool shade of towering pines, or simply gazing at the majestic mountains. We incorporate the rhythms and wonders of nature into our approach, using its gentle power to create a healing environment that evolves with each season.
