At Golden Paws Counseling Services PLLC, my therapy dog, Deuce, and I partner to deliver trauma-informed interventions as a counseling team for children, adolescents, parents, and adults. Certified animal-assisted counseling can range from empowering clients with calming techniques, building social skills and expressing emotions, navigating changes and transitions, to help with overcoming challenges and building resilience.
I believe in a strength-based approach that is positive and collaborative. Expressive and experiential animal-assisted activities can help build coping strategies, communication skills, and a sense of self-efficacy that can be readily applied to everyday life.
Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation. I would love to learn more about your needs and how we can partner to support your journey. My practice includes both animal-assisted and non animal-assisted counseling. I look forward collaborating with you to foster growth and healing and to help you thrive.
