We often receive a few important questions about Animal-Assisted Therapy.
Here are some quick answers.
Allergies
Before participating in Animal-Assisted Therapy, clients are screened for allergies and sensitivities. If allergies are a concern, we can help determine whether this service is appropriate.
Cleaning & Hygiene
Our therapy space follows strict sanitation protocols. Surfaces are cleaned regularly, and sessions are structured to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for everyone.
Insurance
Animal-Assisted Therapy is offered as a cash-pay specialty service and is not billed to insurance. Clients may still use insurance for standard therapy services if they prefer.
Our goal is to make sure clients feel safe, informed, and comfortable when exploring this approach.
