LCSW Psychotherapist - Pet Loss Grief Counselor - Nationwide

Verified Member since Jul 2025 Verified checkmark

I am a psychotherapist and have worked with loss for over 30 years. I'm a therapist who understands your loss. I know how significant the death of a pet can be. Those that you report to may not understand how devastating this loss can be.

I am experienced in grief counseling and can help you through this process. I am available online within New York State.
I have been wanting to focus on this area for a long time. I help my patients in my practice to grieve the loss of their pets. I want to do the same for you. I am an LCSW and hold a Psy.D., and I would be honored to help you process yours.

I, too, have experienced the death of a fur baby.
