Little Legend, our therapy dog in training!
Little Legend, Elizabeth’s golden retriever, LOVES to meet with clients of all ages. He is consistently excited when meeting with clients and quickly calms down after the first few minutes in session. He is still in training and is our little “firecracker!”
Animal Assisted Therapy
According to the American Counseling Association, ‘Benefits of AATC (animal-assisted therapy in counseling), include facilitating and enhancing the therapeutic alliance, decreasing the need for language in therapy, increasing client disclosure, and providing pivotal therapeutic experiences for survivors of trauma. AATC is growing in use and popularity, and the empirical support for its efficacy is steadily increasing.’
In Memoriam, Therapy Dog Delta and Elizabeth. Sadly, we said goodbye to Delta Bear our nationally certified therapy dog in November 2022.
