Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, Neil offers a safe, judgment-free space to share memories, work through feelings of sadness, guilt, or anger, and develop coping strategies tailored to your unique situation.
Sessions are conducted online, so you can reach out from anywhere — whenever you're ready. Based in West Allis, WI, Neil Staplin serves pet parents nationwide, and also works with clients in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha, West Bend, Sheboygan, Brookfield, New Berlin, Menomonee Falls, Franklin and throughout Milwaukee County.

💛 If you’re here, it likely means you’re carrying the weight of a loss that feels deeply personal and difficult to put into words. Grieving a pet is never simple, and there’s no “right” way to move through it—only your way, at your own pace. Working with a pet loss grief counselor can offer a steady, compassionate space to process what you’re feeling, honor the bond you shared, and begin finding moments of peace again. When you feel ready, support is here to meet you where you are, without judgment, pressure, or expectation—just understanding and care as you navigate this journey.
