Katie Murphy - Certified Pet Loss Grief Counseling - Nationwide
Of the many types of relationships that I specialize in, the one dearest to my heart is the relationship between dog and human. With our beloved animals, there exists a special bond that many people are fortunate enough to experience in their lives. Out of this special attachment comes pure joy, but it can also lead to wrenching heartache.
Having both personal and professional experience with pet loss grief, I want to assure you that you are not alone. I have personally navigated and worked through the difficult emotions associated with losing my beloved companions.
As a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts, certified in Pet Loss Grief, I am passionate about serving others, young and older, who might need support after losing their furry friend. Through telehealth sessions, I provide unconditional warmth, compassion, and empathy, creating a safe space for you to share your story and gain support as you navigate the next steps in your healing journey.
Sessions are offered via secure telehealth. I accept select insurance plans, and also offer self-pay options.
