Healing with our pets, one session at a time

I help clients find hope, build confidence, and navigate difficult emotions through animal-assisted interventions with their pets as healing partners. I also provide ESA evaluations and letters. For clients without pets, my therapy dog (in training) offers joy and connection. Sessions can be tailored with or without animals based on your comfort.

About

🐾 Where therapy meets tail wags 🐾

Hi, I'm excited you're here! My name is Maggie- I'm an animal lover and believer in the healing power of the human-animal bond. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Professional Dog Trainer in Pittsburgh, PA, I witness this magic unfold every single day. Together, we'll celebrate the incredible companions who make life better while building the healthiest, happiest version of you. I currently have openings for virtual sessions - which means you can stay cozy at home with your pet! In fact, they're encouraged to join us. Let's work together to help you thrive!
