Animal Assisted Therapy

Starting in January 2025, Morpheus, Morph for short was added into the Jade and Jinx family. Morph is currently a therapy cat in training, working with clients based on current treatment goals and if animal assisted therapy is appropriate for their needs in therapy. Morph provides a cue of safety for many clients working on deeper trauma work in therapy.

Morph is extremely social and has been enjoying engaging with all different clients. Morph helps teach boundaries, relational skills, and even helps teach clients to be more playful. Morph joins all types of sessions and has been enjoying supporting clients through their EMDR work.

Feel free to ask Elizabeth if you have any questions about integrating Morph into sessions. If you come by the office, Morph will be sure to say hello!
