Jeff Levy, LCSW - Pet Loss Grief Support Counselor - Nationwide

Verified Member since Aug 2020 Verified checkmark

As a longtime dog parent, I know the kind of bonds we form with our animal family members; the role they play in our families, and the huge hole that is left when we must say goodbye. Often, everything in our home reminds us of the absence of our animal family member. It's also hard to talk to friends or family who aren't animal lovers about our grief because sometimes they don't understand or sometimes it's minimized. If you're looking for compassionate support, I am here to listen to your memories about your animal family and I am also here to help you find ways to honor your relationship with your pet. Life won't ever be the same, but it is possible to find a way to feel the loss but also feel the joy of the life you had with your animal family. Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank you.
