Katara, Trained Therapy Dog

Katara is a trained therapy dog and a calm, steady presence in our office. She’s a Siberian Husky mix, but don’t let that fool you! Unlike most huskies, Katara is gentle, quiet, and composed, thanks to her excellent training and calm temperament.

​

When she’s not supporting clients, she’s mentoring her younger sidekick, Kaia, and exploring the Utah mountains with her handler, Destyni. Katara brings warmth and connection to every session she attends, making her an important part of the healing work we do here.
