Tracie Barton-Barrett - LCMHC Pet Loss Grief Counselor - Raleigh, NC
For North Carolina and South Carolina residents. Messages sent to me over the weekend will be answered the following weekday.
Please know you are not alone. Your feelings are valid and your grief needs a voice. Animals are such important and valued family members and friends and losing them is a painful, heart-breaking, and even disorienting experience. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a specialty in companion animal loss, I've helped many people to honor their feelings and to give their grief a voice and heal your heart. My novel, "Buried Deep in Our Hearts," is available on Amazon and I'm in the process of writing a self-discovery book to help with the pet loss healing journey. If your organization or business needs a speaker or workshops, I also provide virtual workshops and presentations on human-animal bond topics.
*Sessions are not appropriate for crisis situations or if you need an immediate response. For anyone experiencing a crisis, please call 911, go to the nearest ER, call the suicide hotline at 988.*

Individual, 50-minute session, $95.

Customer Reviews
I was unable to access the required paperwork she sent prior to the session. Because of that, I could not attend. I'm hoping to figure out how to access it so I can connect with her in the future
- Jennifer PPet Pro's Response:
Hi Jennifer, I am really sorry that we won't be able to meet. The paperwork isn't usually a problem, but technology doesn't always work when we want. Am really hoping we can connect in the future. Please take good care of yourself and your heart during this difficult time.
All the best, Tracie
