“Much like play therapy, having a facility dog in the session helps the patient redirect their focus, and for a lot of people, just having him in the session or classroom helps them relax and feel less stressed.” - Dr. Lucinda Grapenthin, associate professor in the Lynn J. Darby School of Psychology and Adolescent Counseling at Brenau University
Your support helps us build innovative programming within the Lynn J. Darby School of Psychology and Adolescent Counseling like the supplemental training and therapy techniques Dr. Grapenthin champions. Thank you!
