Gracie & Zander deBardelaben-Phillips

Gracie and Zander are the newest members of our team. Gracie is a Portuguese Water Dog and Zander is a Portidoodle. They sometimes join David in session to help a client manage emotions. Research has shown that spending time with an animal trained to provide support can have positive impacts such as:

● Increased endorphins, a type of “feel good” hormone and neurotransmitter
● Decreased stress hormones including norepinephrine, epinephrine, and cortisol

The emotional boost that someone gets when working with a therapy animal like Gracie happens because the positive interaction directly impacts activity throughout the brain and body. As a result, people have reported decreased pain, fatigue, and symptoms of depression and anxiety.
