San Diego Pet Therapy
15 minutes. A dog. And you. That’s all it takes.
At The Center For Family Unity, therapy is different. Incorporating innovative techniques, tools and treatments, we break down barriers to emotional healing in every session. Lady, my 3 1/2 year old Newfoundland Labrador Retriever and co-worker, helps make that possible.
Research proves that after a mere 15 minutes petting Lady, serotonin, and your other ‘feel good’ hormones begin to release. Your blood pressure is lowered. And cortisol, your primary stress hormone, is decreased. These physiological changes help you overcome obstacles to healing and allow you to see challenges, as opportunities.
Lady is a proud graduate of the Paws’itive Teams Animal Assistant Therapy program. She’s trained to compassionately intervene in-session and in doing so, assist clients in their healing journey.
Upon your request, Lady will be scheduled to work with us at your next session.
