LCSW Psychotherapist - Pet Loss Grief Counselor - Nationwide
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.

💙 There are moments in the grief process when what you need most is simply to be heard by someone who truly understands — someone who knows that the loss of a pet is not a small thing, that the silence in the home is real, and that what you are carrying deserves the same compassion and attention as any profound loss. That is what Ita offers.
What Ita Can Help You With
Pet loss grief arrives differently for everyone — and Ita works with each client according to where they are in their own process, without a fixed agenda or a predetermined timeline. Sessions with Ita typically address processing the immediate emotional aftermath of losing a pet, navigating anticipatory grief for those preparing to say goodbye to an aging or seriously ill companion, working through guilt and doubt around end-of-life decisions including euthanasia, finding meaningful and personal ways to honor your pet's memory, adjusting to a daily routine that has been fundamentally altered by their absence, and helping other family members — including children and surviving pets — move through the loss in their own way. If you are not sure exactly what you need, that is completely normal. Ita 's first session is designed to help you find that out together.
Why Book With Ita
Choosing the right person to help you through pet loss is a deeply personal decision — and the most important thing is finding someone whose presence feels safe and whose approach feels right for you. Ita brings verified credentials, real client experience, and a genuine understanding of the human-animal bond to every session. Because sessions are conducted virtually, there is no commute, no waiting room, and no need to hold yourself together in a clinical setting — you can show up exactly as you are, from the place where you feel closest to your pet's memory. Ita serves clients throughout New York and is available to anyone nationwide through PetWorks.
