About W.A.G. Therapy
W.A.G. Therapeutic Service is a private psychology practice founded by Clinical Psychologist, Dr Michelle Farbotko.

Dr Michelle has worked in, and help set up, some of the most highly specialized mental health services within the Queensland government . When she decided to "go private" and open her own clinic, she wanted to develop a practice that provided quality, evidence-based mental health treatment in a relaxed environment. In particular, she wanted to use the playful, non-judgemental, nonverbal, and friendly attributes of animals to facilitate safe and trusting opportunities for therapy.

WAG Therapy is the only clinic in Brisbane formally trained in the use of animals in a therapeutic capacity by the International Institute of Animal Assisted Play TherapyTM. Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a form of creative therapy that utilises highly trained and credentialed therapy animals (not just pets!) to provide goal-directed interventions to individuals of all ages. AAT can be used with various types of psychological, emotional, developmental, cognitive, motivational, or physical impairments.
