You Are Not Alone

Sometimes you may feel alone and isolated on your journey of self development. You might be surprised how many others are having similar or relatable experiences. Therapeutic groups can provide a sacred space for your personal and social growth. Our animal-assisted therapeutic groups offer the opportunity for your personal and relational learning through direct interactions with peers and the animals. The therapist, co-facilitator, and animal co-therapists create a safe and supportive space for experiential learning to take place.

You can learn to master these skills in therapeutic groups:

  • Healthy Boundary Setting

  • Nervous System Regulation

  • Pro-Social Communication Skills

  • Increased Self-Awareness

  • Working As A Collaborative Team

  • Leadership Skills

Collaborative Community Partnerships

Part of our vision at the Wish Fulfilling Tree is to partner with local community agencies to provide Animal-Assisted Therapeutic opportunities for young people who might not otherwise have such an opportunity. The Wish Fulfilling Tree has partnered with COTS, TLC Child & Family Services, Seneca Family of Agencies, and Kaiser Permanente to bring this unique opportunity into our community. If you are a community agency interested in partnering with us, please contact Shanti.
