Animal Assisted Therapy
At RWR Counseling, our incorporation of animal-assisted therapy is an option for clients. We've found that for many clients, the presence of an animal significantly reduces stress and anxiety. This calming effect helps to foster a stronger connection with the therapist, creating a more open and effective therapeutic environment. Our unique environment provides a safe, comforting space for you to explore your mental well-being, supported by experienced therapists and our trained animal companions. Our animal assisted therapists have received advanced formal education, and the animal partners receive on-going training and evaluation to ensure they are at their best.
