Country Crossroads Counseling

 

Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a powerful intervention that integrates animals into the therapeutic process to promote emotional and psychological well-being. At Country Crossroads Critters, we harness the unique ability of our carefully selected and trained animals—from gentle dogs to adorable miniature horses—to connect with people on a deep, meaningful level. Our certified therapists and handlers are dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing environment tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual, whether it's a child with special needs, a senior facing isolation, or someone recovering from trauma.

 

What sets us apart is our commitment to an evidence-based approach, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of our programs. Research consistently shows that Animal Assisted Therapy can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance social interaction. Beyond individual sessions, we actively engage with the community through outreach programs and educational workshops to raise awareness about the benefits of AAT. Join our Critters Programs today and let our furry friends be your companions on the path to healing and happiness.
