Whether it’s a quick visit, a quiet moment, or just being her sweet self, Rebecca reminds us how powerful a little compassion (and a wagging tail) can be.

🐾 Meet Rebecca Bear: Our Newest (and Furriest!) Team Member 🐾

We have some paws-itive news to share! If you’ve visited our Wake Forest or North Raleigh clinic lately, you may have noticed a soft jingle or a sweet face peeking around the corner…

✨ Introducing Rebecca Bear, our new facility dog!

🤍 A Journey of Connection
Rebecca Bear joins us thanks to the incredible generosity of the Grayson Murray Foundation and Paws For Patrick organizations dedicated to supporting mental health and bringing comfort to those who need it most. She underwent intensive education with Canine Assistants using a unique Bond-Based Approach. She’s deeply intuitive, able to sense and respond to emotions in a meaningful way.

🐶 What Does a Facility Dog Do?
Rebecca isn’t just a pet she’s part of the care team! She helps by:

A "Social Bridge": Sometimes talking to a person is hard. Having Rebecca nearby can make it easier to open up and feel safe.

Stress Reduction: Research shows that petting a dog can lower blood pressure and cortisol (the stress hormone) while boosting oxytocin.

Unconditional Presence: She is simply here to offer a wagging tail and a calm heart.

💫 Come Say Hello!
Rebecca Bear officially joins us next week! Whether she’s greeting you in the lobby or quietly supporting a session, she’s here to help everyone feel welcome, safe, and supported.

Join us in giving her a warm Cedar Oaks welcome! 🐕💛

Many people walk into their first mental health appointment carrying a quiet fear.

“Should I be able to handle this on my own?”

In a new article, Cedar Oaks provider Annie Cunningham, PA C, shares what she has learned after more than 15 years in medicine caring for people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s difficult moments.

One of the most common misconceptions she sees is the belief that needing help means weakness.

It does not.

At Cedar Oaks Clinic, care begins with listening. Our providers take time to understand each patient’s story and build thoughtful care plans that support healing and stability.

If you or someone you care about is considering outpatient psychiatry, anxiety treatment, depression care, or trauma therapy in Raleigh or Wake Forest, Annie’s reflection may feel familiar.
