Therapy Dog Experiences

The Benefits of Therapy Dogs

Whether its playing and snuggling or confiding in a nonjudgmental companion, the inclusion of therapy dogs in counseling sessions offers a unique and beneficial experience. Therapy dogs have been shown to reduce anxiety, improve mood, increase social interaction, boost self-esteem, and provide cognitive stimulation. Interested clients may have the opportunity to enhance their therapeutic process with a therapy dog at Alder Grove. 

Meet Kona...

Kona is a Mini Goldendoodle with a heart as big as her curls. She’s currently finishing up her therapy dog training and already spreading joy wherever she goes. Kona loves cuddles, making new friends, and showing off her frisbee skills in her free time. She brings comfort, calm, and a whole lot of tail wags to our Naperville office.
