Our Four-Legged Therapy Companion

Meet Sonu

Sonu is a 5-year-old toy poodle and a beloved member of our therapy practice. Weighing in at just 7 pounds, he may be small — but his impact is big.

Sonu joined the practice in 2020, just as many clients were returning to therapy after the isolation and stress of the pandemic. His gentle presence has provided comfort, connection, and even a few well-timed smiles during emotionally difficult sessions.

Sonu is calm, friendly, and intuitively sensitive to people’s moods. Whether he’s sitting quietly beside a child who’s feeling anxious or resting near a teen who needs support without words, Sonu offers a soothing presence that helps clients feel more at ease.

He is hypoallergenic, non-shedding, and always clean and well-groomed. Sonu is never intrusive — he’s happy to be part of the session if you’d like, or to stay in his cozy bed if you prefer a dog-free space. Your comfort is always the priority.
