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. 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!
