Mila, emotional support animal

Mila, ESA

Accepting cuddles

Meet Mila! You might be greeted by our loving pup upon entering the waiting room. She is certified emotional support animal (ESA), and we love her for her expertise in cuddling and desire to make friends with our clients. Mila primarily hangs out with our clinician, Alli, but is also available for sessions with other clinicians on a limited basis.
