The Gentle Paw is a specialized extension of Steady Compass Counseling Services, dedicated to offering compassionate care through animal-assisted support, emotional wellness services, and therapeutic guidance during life’s most tender transitions.
Rooted in the belief that healing can be steady, grounded, and deeply connected to the bonds we share with animals, The Gentle Paw was created to honor and expand upon the powerful human-animal relationship. Whether you’re navigating the grief of pet loss, seeking an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) evaluation, or looking for individual or group support that integrates animal-assisted therapy, we are here to walk with you—paw in hand.
Our Connection to Steady Compass Counseling
As a proud affiliate of Steady Compass Counseling Services, The Gentle Paw reflects the same dedication to quality care, clinical integrity, and accessible services. While Steady Compass provides comprehensive therapy across a broad range of mental health needs, The Gentle Paw was born out of a commitment to provide specialized, animal-centered services that deserve their own thoughtful space. Together, we ensure a seamless bridge between traditional mental health support and the unique healing that comes through connection with animals.
