This form provides information about the voluntary inclusion of a therapy dog during your psychotherapy sessions. The presence of a therapy dog is intended to enhance your therapeutic experience and provide additional emotional support. Please read the following information carefully and indicate your consent below.
Cali is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever. She is certified by Pet Partners as a therapy animal and is specially trained to assist in creating a calming and supportive environment during your sessions. She is not present at the office every week, so interaction with her would be somewhat sporadic.
Interacting with Cali is strictly optional and is meant to complement, not replace, the therapeutic process.
Your participation in animal-assisted therapy is entirely voluntary. You may withdraw your consent or request Cali’s absence at any time, without affecting your ongoing treatment.
By signing this form, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the information above, and you voluntarily consent to the presence of a therapy dog during your psychotherapy sessions.
