In this program, incarcerated people are paired with rejected dogs for training, and end up improving each other's lives in countless ways. New Leash believes that everyone deserves a second chance.

We love the end of the month - time for the Shrinks to get together After Hours. In this personal session, the Shrinks After Hours discuss Body Image! We are more than our bodies. Join us (Cindy and Julie) and our colleagues Dr. Holly Sawyer of Life First Therapy, LLC and Allison Gibbs, LCSW of Therapy Concierge, LLC as we explore our bodies, and ourselves. And, since we're all Shrinks, our conversations inevitably turn to how we help others (and ourselves) with body image concerns. Listen in.
