As a professionally trained therapy dog, Murphy has completed a comprehensive training program with Dog Training Elite, where he was thoroughly tested and certified for his exceptional skills in providing emotional support.

​

Murphy’s calm demeanor, friendly nature, and intuitive understanding of human emotions make him a perfect companion in our mental health services. He has a special way of making people feel safe and heard, offering unconditional support through his warm presence. Whether he’s offering a paw to hold or simply lying by your side, Murphy is always ready to lend a listening ear and a comforting touch.

In addition to his formal training, Murphy’s natural empathy allows him to connect with clients in a way that words often cannot. He plays an important role in creating a healing and supportive environment, helping individuals feel more at ease during their therapy sessions. Murphy works with Erica Van Wagner, LISW-CP/S.
