Animal-Assisted Therapy

Linus, my certified therapy dog, loves joining sessions to provide comfort, fun, and support. Kids and families can choose to include him in therapy.

Linus brings joy, comfort, and a sprinkle of fun to our therapy sessions, creating a nurturing environment for children and families.

Due to his age, Linus can’t join every session, but when he’s here, it’s a special treat! Families have the wonderful option to include him in their therapy, making the experience even more engaging and delightful.

Benefits Include:

  • Reducing Stress and Anxiety:  Interacting with Linus helps lower stress and brings a sense of calm. His friendly presence encourages kids to feel safe and express their feelings openly.
  • Learning Empathy and Compassion:  Having Linus around fosters empathy and compassion, as children learn the importance of caring for others and understanding their needs.
  • Practicing Comforting and Supportive Behaviors:  Engaging with Linus allows kids to practice nurturing and supportive behaviors in a joyful way, enhancing their social skills and emotional growth.
  • Sweet adorable cuteness: Linus loves to interact! Whether it’s sharing playful high-fives or offering gentle cuddles, his playful spirit brings smiles and laughter, making therapy lighter and more enjoyable.

Though Linus won’t be at every session, when he is, it truly enhances our time together.f you’d like to find out more about including Linus in your therapy sessions, please reach out! Click the links below to find out more!
