Cosmo is a miniature Aussiedoodle who accompanies his therapist and mom, Amanda Driggs, LMFT, LCSW, to work, bringing joy and cuteness. Cosmo is has had formal training and is currently studying for the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Test. Cosmo is hypoallergenic, nonshedding, and enjoys seeing everyone! His main job is to bring joy, cuddles, comfort, and laughter at times. Cosmo enjoys sleeping at his clients’ feet, taking up space on the couch or in chair, giving kisses, and smelling all the new smells that his clients bring in. He also loves a good scratch behind the ears!
If a client of Amanda’s wishes to not have Cosmo join, that is never an issue, however is requested that be communicated in advance.
Some benefits Cosmo can offer include:
- For most people, the presence of an animal provokes the body to release serotonin, prolactin, and oxytocin. These hormones cause relaxation and a stress-reducing response.
- Releasing these “happy hormones” also has the possibility of lowering anxiety.
