About Empawer
Since 2020, my animal-assisted therapy and counseling practice has provided compassionate, client-centered support for individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges. By integrating the therapeutic benefits of human-animal interaction with traditional talk therapy, I create a warm, safe environment where clients can explore their emotions, build coping strategies, and foster personal growth. I work with clients of all ages, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties, tailoring each session to meet their unique needs.
Anjana Ganesh
Animal Assisted Therapist & Counsellor
Animals have always been my greatest teachers in empathy, presence, and unconditional connection. Over the years, I’ve had the fortune of sharing my life with numerous rescued animals—each with their own story of survival, resilience, and healing.
Witnessing the calm and comfort they naturally bring to people sparked something in me. I began to notice how simply being with them could ease anxiety, soften grief, and open up space for emotional safety. As I trained as a therapist, it became clear that animals weren’t just companions—they were co-regulators, co-healers.
That’s what led me to create Empawer—a practice where therapeutic connection includes the wisdom and warmth of animals, and where people can find a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their inner world at their own pace.

Lily
Everloving and ready with a wag to welcome you
Rescued from the streets in 2017, this 11-year-old Lab–Indie mix has been through so much—loss, survival, and healing. Despite it all, she remains one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. She adores humans, welcomes everyone with a wag, and believes belly rubs should be a full-time job. Her calm, loving energy helps clients feel safe, grounded, and at ease—just by being her.
Rescued in Denver, Colorado, Arya has been by my side for over a decade— the definition of zen—he is quiet, observant, and endlessly generous with his purrs and cuddles. Arya has supported countless clients with his soothing presence, offering a kind of comfort only he knows how to give. Though he’s currently navigating kidney disease, he continues to fare well—soft, strong, and full of heart. Arya teaches us the power of stillness, presence, and loving through life’s seasons.
Rescued in 2020 after being found hungry and scared, nesting in garbage on the streets, Loki has come a long way. These days, he’s grown into a proud, independent companion—vocal, opinionated, and secretly very fond of pets (on his terms, of course). He spends most of his day snoozing in sunny spots but occasionally blesses us with his presence during sessions—offering quiet company and soft purrs that bring a sense of calm. He’s proof that healing takes time, space, and the right kind of love.
Rescued from the streets of Mumbai after a surprise encounter outside our vet’s office, Cosmo is all things - playful, energetic, and a little bit naughty. He loves cuddling up between bursts of zoomies, chasing leaves, and creating absolute chaos in the garden. But beneath all the mischief is a heart full of affection and curiosity. Cosmo reminds us that joy, movement, and silliness are healing too.
