Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) can improve your treatment outcome as a part of your treatment plan in counseling. Not only can it help to reduce your stress levels during the appointment, AAT can also help you build trust and report with your counselor. You are the main priority when it comes to AAT.When you are sure to communicate your needs and comfort level, you can experience growth in areas including assertiveness, empathy, communicating about sensitive or difficult issues, and increasing awareness.

Lastly, studies demonstrate that AAT can aid significantly in learning the ever-eluding skill of mindfulness.  

Loki is happy all the time. He is constant and consistant. He loves to share his joy with everyone he meets. Today is the best day ever, according to Loki, and he wants to share that with you. He is a Certified Community Canine and an Advanced Canine Good Citizen in Charlotte with the American Kennel Club, which means he is terrific at being with us in therapy sessions.
