I'm Theresa Purdy, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in North Carolina with a background in behavioral health and animal-assisted therapy. With a Doctorate in Counseling and years of clinical experience, I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, and emotional stress through support strategies that include Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). At Paw Tenant, I conduct clinical assessments to determine ESA eligibility and ensure that our services are aligned with legal standards. My goal is to help individuals access the therapeutic benefits of companion animals while maintaining professional and ethical documentation practices.
