The Team Pets Supervisors!

As a fully telehealth mental health practice, we expect to see a few ears and tails in our sessions. We want all of our clients to feel comfortable inviting their furry friends to sessions and know that we are a pet friendly practice!

You may occasionally see some of your therapist’s pets supervisors in session as well. However, please know that if this is a distraction or you do not wish for a therapist’s animal to be present during session, the animal can be left out of the session.

Below are some of the supervisors you may meet depending on the therapist that you have!
