Pet Grief and Loss Support and Therapy - Nationwide
Losing a beloved pet is one of life's most profound heartaches. As a licensed therapist and fellow pet parent who has walked this difficult path, I understand the unique depth of grief that comes with saying goodbye to your furry family member.
Your grief is real. Your bond was special. You deserve support.
I provide gentle, specialized counseling to help you navigate the complex emotions of pet loss - from anticipatory grief and difficult end-of-life decisions to the waves of sorrow, guilt, and loneliness that follow. Whether your pet was a lifelong companion or a recent addition to your family, their impact on your life matters.
You'll find understanding here - not judgment about "just a pet" or pressure to "get over it." Together, we'll honor your pet's memory while helping you process your grief, manage overwhelming emotions, and gradually find your way forward.
Services available for Missouri residents as licensed therapy, and grief support coaching for clients nationwide.
Because the love doesn't end when they cross the rainbow bridge, and neither should your support.

💙 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 Michelle offers.
What Michelle Can Help You With
Pet loss grief arrives differently for everyone — and Michelle works with each client according to where they are in their own process, without a fixed agenda or a predetermined timeline. Sessions with Michelle 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. Michelle's first session is designed to help you find that out together.
Why Book With Michelle
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. Michelle 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. Michelle serves clients throughout Missouri and is available to anyone nationwide through PetWorks.
