Moose is my pet therapy pup assistant who is likely to join our sessions (upon agreement only).  You will have a choice whether Moose is present during sessions and will be required to sign a waiver if Animal Assisted Therapy is something you are interested in.  He is purebred, AKC certified and is currently in training with Dog Training Elite in Manchester, NH to become a therapy dog.

 The American Humane Association defines Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) on their website as:  “a goal-directed intervention in which an animal is incorporated as an integral part of the clinical health-care treatment process. AAT is delivered or directed by a professional health or human service provider who demonstrates skill and expertise regarding the clinical applications of human-animal interactions.”
​ 

She believes in a holistic approach to treatment and has a background and passion for Nature Therapy which also includes Ayurvedic teachings and lifestyle changes.  She graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 2000 with a bachelors in psychology, worked full time for 3 years at Hampstead Psychiatric Hospital on the children's unit and earned a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of New Hampshire in 2004.  She worked for over 10 years as a clinical therapist in a community mental health setting primarily with children, adolescents and families.  In August 2014, she left community mental health to open her private practice called, Mind, Body, Spirit Counseling in Derry, NH, now named Mind Body Spirit Counseling & Coaching.  “I believe that we all have a purpose in life.  I believe that we were born with an intuition as a means of helping us make decisions regarding our health and well-being.  I believe that we learn through life and childhood experiences to ignore our intuition in order to meet our culture and society's expectations of what is "normal".  I believe that by learning how to balance the mind, body and spirit we can gain wisdom and knowledge about ourselves, understanding of our struggles and therefore find a life of balance, peace and happiness.”  Katie uses a variety of techniques and interventions to accomplish this goal depending on the age and goals of each client.
