Therapy Companions

 At our practice, we are proud to offer the option of incorporating therapy animals into the counseling process. Therapy animals can provide a unique layer of comfort and connection, helping clients feel more at ease and supported during sessions.  


Therapy animals offer a calming, nonjudgmental presence that can make it easier to open up and engage in therapy. Their involvement can:  

  • Reduce anxiety and stress by promoting relaxation and emotional regulation 
  • Enhance comfort and safety, especially for clients who feel nervous or overwhelmed 
  • Improve connection and trust between client and therapist
  • Support trauma work by providing grounding and a sense of stability 
  • Boost mood and motivation through positive, engaging interactions 
  • Encourage skill-building, including coping strategies, emotional awareness, and social skills  


Therapy animals can be especially helpful for children, adolescents, and individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, or difficulty engaging in traditional talk therapy.  

Client Choice and Comfort

Participation with a therapy animal is always optional. We take client preferences, comfort levels, and any allergies or concerns into careful consideration to ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone. 

Paisley

Paisley is an 8yr old Havanese and is a certified therapy dog through Pet Partners. Paisley works alongside Kara Cheek LPC-MHSP as a therapy animal and enjoys participating in sessions with clients. Paisley has completed obedience and therapy training and is an AKC Canine Good Citizen. Paisley loves pets behind her ears, taking naps, and snuggling up with a warm blanket. If you have any questions about Paisley, feel free to reach out!

Wrangler

Wrangler is a miniature Australian Shepherd with a heart as big as their paws. Trained in animal-assisted therapy, Wrangler brings comfort, emotional support, and a sense of joy to individuals and families in their private therapy sessions.


With a calm demeanor, affectionate personality, and a natural ability to connect, Wrangler helps to reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and improve emotional well-being. He has been carefully trained to work alongside certified therapists, offering unconditional support and companionship to people facing many different mental health challenges.


Whether you're seeking a gentle companion to brighten your day or need emotional support through difficult times, Wrangler is here to make a positive impact.
