Next week we will be hosting our Dog Days of Summer event for all of our current clients here at Life Cycles Counseling.

Join new resident, Bunny and I on the 22^nd at 3pm for a dazzling display of what some of the best RVA therapy dogs can offer.  Our hope for this event is two fold:  the first is to inform you of the impact therapy dogs may have on your counseling sessions; the second is to help you de-stress after a long week.

Research has shown that therapy dogs have many benefits besides being cute, of course. Sometimes even the most courageous of individuals dealing with life stressors need help from a friend.

To learn more about the benefit of therapy dogs in counseling, check out Bunny’s blog Here.  And to RSVP for the event, contact us today.

We are excited to introduce the three canine companions who will be us at the event!
