Sandra Grossman, Ph.D. - PetLoss Partners - Nationwide
Losing a beloved pet is incredibly difficult. I know, because I experienced it with my own precious boy. It was the journey of healing from his loss that led me to this work: helping others find their way through grief.
My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate your path toward healing.
No two people experience loss in the same way, and I am here to provide the personalized support and resources you need in a safe and non-judgmental space.
I work with couples, families, individuals, seniors, and those with disabilities. I also support those who are anticipating the loss of a beloved pet, helping them through the difficult decisions and emotions that arise during this time.
While my background is in Psychology, my practice is solely dedicated to supporting pet parents coping with loss or anticipatory grief. I'm a Certified Pet Loss Specialist and Compassion Fatigue Educator, with 16 years of experience in this field.
I offer Zoom, Petworks live video chat, and telephone support nationally, Zoom and Petworks live video chat support internationally, and Zoom, telephone, and in-person support for those in the New Jersey area.
You don’t have to walk this path alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

She was nice but the session felt very generic, not specific advice for my situation.
