I'm Susan Kates, a dedicated pet loss bereavement clinician with a passion for helping pet parents navigate the challenging journey of losing a beloved animal companion. Holding a LICSW and proudly certified by the Association for Pet Loss and Bereavement (APLB), I specialize in offering compassionate support tailored to both pets and their people. With my extensive experience, I focus on providing personalized guidance that meets each client's unique needs, ensuring a supportive environment for healing and growth.

For over two decades, I've devoted my career to serving as a trusted resource for pet parents, offering a safe space to share and process their emotions. I'm excited to announce the upcoming launch of grief pet loss support groups, where individuals can find solace and understanding in the company of others who have experienced similar loss. Whether you're seeking individual support or the comfort of a group setting, my flexible approach makes it easy for you to find the right fit.

My services are available for both online consultations and mobile support, allowing me to reach pet parents wherever they feel most comfortable. My flexible cancellation policy ensures you have the freedom to adjust your schedule without added stress. If you're ready to take the first step towards healing, I invite you to connect with me. Book me through Petworks today, and let’s embark on this journey together.
