Animal Assisted Therapy

At Southern Live Oak Wellness, we embrace the healing power of animal-assisted therapy as a core component of our holistic approach to wellness. Our therapy programs incorporate interactions with specially trained animals to support emotional and physical healing. Through these unique sessions, clients can experience a profound sense of connection and well-being.

The Benefits of Animal-Assisted Therapy

Animal-assisted therapy offers a range of benefits for individuals navigating mental health challenges or substance use disorders. Interacting with therapy animals can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, fostering a calming and supportive environment. Animals provide unconditional acceptance and companionship, which can be deeply therapeutic for clients seeking emotional connection and support.

Enhancing Social Skills and Emotional Well-being

Engaging with animals in therapy sessions can also enhance social skills and communication abilities. Clients develop important life skills such as empathy, patience, and responsibility through their interactions with therapy animals. Additionally, spending time with animals has been shown to increase serotonin and dopamine levels, promoting feelings of happiness and relaxation.

At Southern Live Oak Wellness, we prioritize the well-being of our clients and recognize the profound impact of animal-assisted therapy on overall wellness. Our therapy animals are carefully selected and trained to ensure a safe and enriching experience for everyone involved. We are committed to helping our clients harness the therapeutic benefits of connecting with animals as they embark on their journey to recovery and personal growth.
