We are thrilled to announce that Canine Support Services will soon be available as part of our counseling options! Research has consistently shown that incorporating trained support dogs into therapeutic settings can significantly enhance the counseling experience for clients of all ages.
Benefits of Canine-Enhanced Counseling:
- 🐕 Reduced Stress and Anxiety – The calming presence of a support dog can help clients feel more at ease, creating a safe and welcoming environment for deeper therapeutic work.
- 🐾 Improved Emotional Regulation – Interacting with a therapy dog can help clients process emotions more effectively, making it easier to navigate challenges during sessions.
- 🌟 Enhanced Communication – Dogs can serve as neutral companions, helping clients open up about difficult topics or engage more readily in discussions.
- ❤️ Support for Youth and Families – For younger clients and families, therapy dogs can foster connection, build trust, and encourage cooperative skills in a nonjudgmental way.
- 💪 Boosted Self-Esteem and Confidence – Participating in activities with a support dog can increase a sense of accomplishment and personal growth.
How It Works:
- Canine support is integrated into sessions to complement our therapeutic approaches, including CBT, EMDR, and family-focused interventions.
- Sessions will be tailored to meet your specific needs, with the support dog enhancing comfort and engagement throughout the process.
We believe that the inclusion of trained therapy dogs in our practice will offer an invaluable resource for fostering resilience, emotional growth, and healing in our clients.
