Therapy Dog

Therapy Dog Services

The Director of Counseling currently brings a certified therapy dog to the office daily. The dog’s name is Tuesday, and she is black Labrador retriever. Tuesday is on campus to provide stress management to the Mercy College community. It is now known that playing with or petting animals reduces stress, boosts your immune system, lowers your blood pressure, and creates a sense of calm. Tuesday is also present during counseling sessions to provide comfort when discussing difficult issues. If you are interested in playing with her or walking her, just come up to the 5^th floor!
