How Frida Helps
Reducing Anxiety
Frida’s calm energy helps lower stress levels, making the therapy room feel like a safer, more grounded space for exploration.
Sensory Comfort
For neurodivergent individuals, Frida provides a gentle tactile focus, offering rhythmic breathing and soft pressure that aids in regulation.
Easier Connection
Focusing on Frida can act as a social bridge, making it easier for kids and teens to open up and share their thoughts at their own pace.
What to Expect in Session
When Frida joins us, she creates a calm, non-judgmental environment. She might sit quietly nearby while we talk, rest her head at your feet for grounding, or even join in on games and creative activities. Her presence provides a natural sensory comfort that makes it easier to navigate big feelings and quiet moments alike.
Participation is always at your pace. Frida is here to support you in whatever way feels most comfortable.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
We want every client and family to feel safe and at ease. If there are concerns regarding allergies or a fear of dogs, please let us know. Frida’s participation is entirely optional, and she will not be present during sessions if you prefer otherwise. Your boundaries and peace of mind always come first.
