Goose
Therapy Dog
I am more than just a therapy dog—I’m a source of comfort and connection for clients while my owner, Shannon Heick (LCSW), helps them.
My gentle presence helps foster a calm and supportive atmosphere, offering nonjudgmental companionship. Whether quietly lying by your side or engaging with you during sessions, I bring a unique energy that enhances the healing process.

Shannon Heick
Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
I’m Shannon Heick and one of the ways I help others is through Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) with my therapy dog, Goose.
My approach is rooted in grace, as John 1:16 says, “For from His fullness, we have all received grace upon grace.” I also integrate Christian principles into therapy for those seeking a faith-based approach, but welcome clients from all backgrounds with compassion and respect.
"For from His fullness, we have all received grace upon grace."
— John 1:16
