About Kate Davis, LCSW:
Kate is a career social worker who happens to be a major fan of animals, the animal-human connection and is passionate about supporting the people who work in animal care fields.

Her skills in therapy, consultation and training have allowed her to work with veterinarians, shelters and rescues to provide support to their work. She also has experienced her own struggles with loss, vicarious trauma and grief. Through telephone support, consultation and Compassion Endurance presentations, she (along with Dr. Felton) supports people to accept, process and heal throughout the distress, loss and grief that accompanies caring for animals.
