Ally Counseling and Therapy wants to host a non-profit community healing event in LIC, which has been traumatized lately due to recent tragic events. As we help our own clients process their traumas due to Asian hate crimes, robbery, and gunshots in LIC, we are hearing more and more need for community healing. Our practice has several free/low-cost support groups in both English and Mandarin Chinese. We want to introduce our skilled trauma therapists to our community. Our human and dog therapists will provide free trauma-informed resources to LIC residents.

Dog therapy builds on the pre-existing human-canine bond. Interacting with friendly dogs can help many physical and mental issues. It can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health. It can also release endorphins that produce a calming effect. This can help alleviate pain, reduce stress, and improve your overall psychological state.

Ally 諮詢將於週日（4 月 17 日）舉辦免費的社區治療和狗治療活動。 由於最近的悲慘事件，我們整個社區都受到了創傷。 我們的人類和狗治療師想為大家提供免費的服務，為社區出一份力。

狗療法建立在預先存在的人與犬之間的聯繫之上。 與友好的狗互動可以幫助解決許多身心問題。 它可以幫助降低血壓並改善整體心血管健康。 它還可以釋放產生鎮靜作用的內啡肽。 這可以幫助緩解疼痛、減輕壓力並改善您的整體心理狀態。

害怕狗狗的人類朋友如果想要作脫敏練習，也可以從和它們互動開始。它們都是受過專業行為訓練，性格溫和，沒有任何攻擊性。
