Therapy Dog Extraordinaire in McKinney, TX

What is Animal-Assisted Therapy?

Animal-assisted therapy incorporates the calming, supportive presence of a trained therapy animal into the counseling process. At our practice, clients have the joy of working with Darcy Elizabeth—our beloved therapy dog and four-year veteran of emotional support and comic relief.

• Anxiety and stress reduction

• Emotional regulation

Why it Works

The presence of a therapy dog creates a warm, grounding atmosphere that helps clients feel more at ease and open. Interacting with animals can lower stress hormones, increase feelings of safety, and bring moments of joy—even during hard sessions. Plus, who can resist a puppy face and a well-timed tail wag?
