Hello, I’m Lily Magnolia, an animal-assisted therapy (AAT) canine. I was adopted by the Noyes family in 2017 and became certified as an AAT canine in 2018 through Pet Partners of Greater Dallas. Since then, I’ve been working with Finding Freedom Therapy, helping make your therapeutic experience easier and more comforting.
My role is to bring comfort during your therapy sessions, especially when dealing with trauma and grief. While therapy can sometimes feel sad and difficult, I’ll be there to cheer you up. You can pet me as you share your story, and I’ll do my best to make you feel better. I’m always excited to see you!
AAT is a type of therapy that strategically incorporates human–animal interactions into a formal therapeutic process. It is considered an adjunct to existing therapy and is guided by a licensed professional who has also been certified as an AAT handler to work with a certified animal. AAT uses the human–animal bond in goal-directed interventions as an integral part of the treatment process.
