Monique Verhoef, RTC
Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Monique’s passion is helping people overcome their challenges with a professional dedication to their well being and context culturally. She works for the benefit of dogs and their owners. Her mission is to ensure no adopted dog ever gets returned to a shelter for behavioral issues. Instead, owners learn how to effectively bond and heal with their dogs through Monique’s attention to the overall dynamic.
“My dog used to live with a family member who suffered from chronic depression.” As a dog owner, Monique knows how easy it is to put our personal frustrations onto our dog and pets.

Deeper, personal challenges can sometimes get in the way of developing the bond and desired behavior between you and your beloved dog. Monique uses effective counselling techniques that may result into freedom of stress, frustration, sadness or helplessness. Petting your dog can increase dopamine and serotonin levels, your ‘happy hormones’. Having your dog with you can be a great asset during counselling sessions and on your own.
I developed a dog-assisted therapy approach for dog owners where your dog becomes part of the therapy process. Receive your dog’s wisdom, and let your authenticity shine. Learn how to deal with emotions creating calm, balanced and trusting connections.
And discover how amazing you are!
