We know that they are more than pets, they are family…
Dr. Bennett’s practice specializes in supporting the profound role animals play in our lives, through the everyday joy of caring for them, life transitions, and loss
Services
Individual Therapy
For clients who need psychological care, Dr. Bennett provides individual therapy for pet loss grief, anticipatory grief, and general mental health concerns. Telehealth sessions are available to clients located in Florida.
Expert Consultation
For people who are not seeking therapy, Dr. Bennett offers professional consultation focused on the human-animal bond for individuals, veterinary professionals, animal rights attorneys, rescue groups, organizations, and more in the US and internationally. Consultation is psycho-educational in nature, offering recommendations and guidance tailored to each person’s situation.
Pet Parent Coaching
Dr. Bennett offers coaching for new pet parents and for anyone who wants to communicate and collaborate more effectively with their own animal, veterinarian, trainer, etc. We specialize in supporting people who want to help their animals become Canine Good Citizens, become or thrive as therapy dogs, ESAs, and everyday pet parents who just want to learn “hacks” to support effective pet parenting.
Pet Mediation
As a licensed psychologist as well as a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator, Dr. Bennett helps people navigate pet time-sharing and care arrangements after a breakup, separation, or divorce. We are living in a time when our animals are treated like human children, and that is why the focus of niche mediation is centered on the “best interests” of the fur children.
