Trainings, Certifications, & Memberships
Individual Animal-Assisted Therapy
Receiving Animal-Assisted Therapy training allows exploration of emotion and experiences, often without words. Eva's gift of picking up on the slightest emotional shift cues Dayna to respond accordingly. Play based work with Eva offers an in the moment opportunity to practice new skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a modality that invites the use of bilateral stimulation in order to process traumatic events with less stress. EMDR is often an effective modality to support clients with processing intense chapters of their story.
Grief Recovery Method
The Grief Recovery Method allows clients to return to unsettling chapters in their life with the goal of processing things left unsaid and addressing unmet hopes. Clients often describe this method as action-oriented as the structure aims to continue forward with their story following loss.Â
