A few of our counsellors are supported by dog assistants—some are trained therapy dogs, while others are senior rescue dogs providing comforting emotional support. Dog-assisted therapy is especially recommended for individuals on the autism spectrum and those experiencing suicidal ideation, with research showing a significant positive impact. Studies reveal that simply having a dog present can help reduce anxiety, ease stress, and promote grounding during sessions.
