🌟 Meet Megan Hopper, M.Ed., Resident in Counseling at Dimensional Wellness! 🌟
If you’ve ever visited our office, you may have already spotted Megan’s favorite co-therapist… her weighted Snoopy! 🐶✨
He’s adorable, yes — but he also plays a meaningful role in supporting clients during sessions.
Weighted blankets and weighted stuffed animals aren’t just cozy accessories. They can help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and create a grounded sense of safety — especially for those navigating anxiety, trauma, or sensory overwhelm.
Here’s why they’re loved in mental health care:
• They provide gentle, steady pressure that helps the body release tension.
• They support emotional regulation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest and restore” mode).
• They offer comfort and stability during moments when emotions feel big.
• For many people, they create a sense of connection and reassurance — similar to a supportive hand on the shoulder.
Megan brings her compassionate presence (and Snoopy’s calming charm!) to every session, helping clients feel seen, safe, and supported. 💛
If you or someone you love could benefit from therapy in a warm, welcoming environment, we’d be happy to support you.
