Our AAT Services

One-on-One Animal-Assisted Therapy

Tailored to individual needs, our one-on-one sessions connects clients with a therapy animal based on their preferences and therapeutic goals. Whether it's finding comfort in cuddling with Madame or feeling grounded by Dr. T.'s presence, our animals offer unconditional support.

Animal Assisted Therapy Groups

The animal-assisted therapy groups provide a supportive environment for individuals to come together and bond over shared experiences with our therapy animals or their emotional support pets. Led by trained facilitators, these sessions offer opportunities for connection, healing, and personal growth. Clients are able to connect with their pets, provide them with emotional support, and gain support in return.

Emotional Support Groups

Our emotional support therapy animal groups offer a secure environment where participants can explore their neurodiversity alongside their pets. These groups aim to connect individuals with the support, resources, psychoeducation, and interventions necessary to foster a healthy bond between themselves and their pets while navigating their neurodivergent experiences.

School and Community Outreach

Committed to spreading the benefits of animal-assisted therapy, we offer interactive presentations and hands-on experiences with our therapy animals in schools and communities. Through education and inspiration, we aim to promote the healing power of animals.

Emotional Support Animal Letters

Our therapy clinic provides comprehensive evaluations and assessments to determine eligibility for emotional support animal letters. Our licensed therapists work closely with clients to understand their needs and assess the potential benefits of having an emotional support animal. Upon evaluation, qualified individuals receive personalized ESA letters to support their mental health needs.
