CODY & MIA
Our Therapy Dogs
On some days of the week, you may find that you are greeted by our four legged co-therapist, Cody and Mia, both tea cup Chihahuas and certified therapy dogs with Therapy Dog International (TDI).
Canines as co-therapists in a clinical psychotherapy setting can help to develop rapport with patients, provide comfort and promote emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual healing for individuals of all ages.
Cody & Mia, help to provide a soothing, safe and non-judgemental setting for patients to work through their challenges. Their presence, acceptance of others and ability to express themselves without reservation, are some of the most powerful factors that enable therapy dogs to play a unique role in the therapeutic setting.
For those consumers who have canine allergies or adverse reactions to canines, may decline having our therapy dogs participate in their sessions.
