Animal Assisted Therapy
Animal assisted therapy is a dynamic therapeutic approach that incorporates animals into the therapeutic space.
The goal of emotional therapy is to gain insights into emotional states that trigger behaviors, sensations, and feelings in an environment that allows and fosters reciprocal relationships.
The presence of animals as willing partners in the therapy process enables the creation of a relationship that sees every participant as a subject with desires, personality, story, and needs. It creates a non-judgmental environment, offers comforting touch, non-verbal communication, new connections, and the opportunity to explore body language and a new emotional range.
Psychotherapy for Children
Many children face challenges such as anxiety, at-risk situations, social difficulties, and more. They often feel a deep connection to animals, which can help them express feelings that may be difficult to share with humans. The bond between children and animals can provide a gateway into the child's inner world. At Wind Chimes, you will find both individual and group therapy sessions for children.
Psychotherapy for AdultsDealing with Intellectual Disabilities
Adults facing cognitive disabilities and difficulties with adaptation and functioning often find themselves dependent on others, much like domesticated animals. The shared sensations and exposure to animals allow us to give our patients space for both their challenges and their unique, personal needs. At Wind Chimes, you will find both individual and group therapy sessions for adults.
