The Mission of LHC is to provide quality accessible mental health services to Orange County's Medi-Cal (CalOptima) population. We strive to match clients with compassionate trained professionals to build strategies for increased wellbeing, health, and functioning in relationships and community. Therapy is offered through teletherapy, in office, and out in nature.
If you have experienced anxiety, depression, dissociation, self-harm, or other mental struggles, it may be that you have lived through an unhealthy, toxic, or traumatic experience that is still lingering in your energy and spirit. When a person goes through such stress, they can become isolated and disconnected from others and themselves. Luckily, we can tap into another world that we are often blind to, nature, to learn how to reconnect with ourselves and other humans for lasting and fulfilling relationships.
The earth and its ecosystems contain wisdom that we can connect to and learn from together, as we explore who you are and build self-awareness and self-confidence and calm with in.

The scholarly literature on AAT is expansive and rapidly growing.
However, some major themes are easily identified, such as the benefits for integrating animals into counseling.
1. Animals are able to provide touch and affection to the client.
This is especially important as counselors are extremely limited in their ability to provide soothing touch to the client (Chandler, 2005; Parish-Plass, 2008).
In addition, some clients are especially starved for appropriate touch; thus, animals can fill this important need.
