Hi there! My name’s Sully, and I’m a 7 year old English Mastiff with a heart as big as my paws. Even though I’m not your typical clinician, I’m here to bring comfort, calm, and a whole lot of love to everyone at State of Mind Counseling Services. Whether it’s lending an ear (or a paw) to someone who needs it or simply being a gentle, grounding presence, I take my job as a furry friend seriously. Don’t let my size fool you, I am a gentle giant and I have to be convinced that I’m not a lap dog. My favorite part of the day? Snuggling up with clients and reminding them that unconditional love is always just a tail wag away. I can’t wait to meet you!
