Erika Kreisa

Erika Kreisa is Co-Chair of our Therapy Dog Program along with her dog Sutter. They had been a Therapy Dog handler team together for three years when P4P was founded. Growing up next door to Fronzie in Glencoe, IL, the pair have known one another their entire lives - classic BFFs. “When Patrick passed, I was desperate to do anything that I could to ease Fronzie’s suffering; so when she contacted me with her vision to bring animals to those who suffer from mental illness I was thrilled at the opportunity to help make her dream a reality.” 

“If you feel as though your dog has the skill and discipline to train and get certified as a therapy dog, and if you are dedicated to helping others, you should reach out to me or Julie Shaw. The experience has been phenomenally rewarding.” We couldn’t agree more and we are so lucky to have your expertise and leadership on our team!!
