Meet the Facilitator and creator of this AAT Certification Program

Susan Aitken

Social Worker  - BSW, RSW, AAT-I, EAL, IPHM Accredited

Hello and welcome to my website! I wanted to post a little bit about myself for you to read as you decide if connecting with me is right for you. First off, I want to say that I have always had a great love for people and animals, which has led my Social Work practice to where it is today. As a Certified Animal Assisted Therapist with a Bachelors Degree in Social Work I am able to incorporate animals into the therapeutic process to assist all my clients through their personal journey. I truly believe and have personally witnessed how animals have such an amazing ability to understand us and help us heal through our struggles. Everyone has a unique path and as such I provide a practice that honors each individuals path while providing a healing space, acceptance, guidance, and of course animal partners.
I have been a practicing Social Worker since 2005 and have gained a lot of experience that I believe can be very beneficial to those individuals needing some support as they move forward.  I have worked in numerous areas of Social Work helping individuals, families and groups, however my passion lies with allowing animals to help us. On my journey to become a Certified Animal Assisted Interventionist I have met so many beautiful souls, some people and some animals. I am so grateful to all of those who have helped me be able to offer this healing certification to you and I am hoping to be able to connect with you soon.   I would like to thank you for reading through the information I have provided and please feel free to contact me for further information or proceed to the Enroll Now page.
