Welcome to TherapyWorks

TherapyWorks is a nonprofit, 501(c)3 organization which acts as a sanctuary for abused animals and children. We rescue abused and neglected animals, rehabilitate them and train them to work with our licensed therapists to provide Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). AAT is an evidence based form of mental health counseling which is especially effective in treating children, families and adults struggling with mental, emotional or behavioral issues.

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing."
Albert Einstein

At TherapyWorks we believe that all life is sacred. Animals we rescue live out their lives in freedom, peace, and dignity - a life that most of them have never known before. We have created a sanctuary from violence and work to teach nonviolence to everyone who enters here. Children who have experienced abuse, veterans returning home from war, partners who have escaped domestic violence and animals who have been neglected or abused all find refuge here. TherapyWorks is dedicated to the care of abused and neglected animals and the healing and nurturing of the children that come to us for help.

The most powerful thing we have witnessed is how our clients heal when they participate in animal assisted therapy. AAT is a collaborative effort between a licensed therapist, a rehabilitated animal and a client to provide a therapeutic intervention which helps the client reach their treatment goals. TherapyWorks gives people the ability to have therapy outside the walls of the therapist's office. Clients are more apt to talk about problems while they are performing an activity given to them by the therapist. Participating in AAT allows healing to begin immediately. Instead of years of counseling we are able to see improvement in most cases within six months.
