If you are grieving, but are not traumatically bereaved, you may still benefit from my support in the form of grief coaching. Here, I provide a personalized structured plan that includes grief education and exercises designed to help you tend to the six needs of mourning as they are described by Dr. Alan Wolfelt: (1) Acknowledge the reality of your life transition, loss, or impending loss; (2) Process emotions connected to your life transition; (3) Develop ways to Honor your life transition; (4) Cultivate a renegotiated personal identity and set of wellness practices in response to the change and loss; (5) Search for new existential meanings and understandings in relation to your shift in circumstance; (6) Engage ongoing support from reliable social and educational networks. This tending work is pursued to foster reconciliation to your major life transition and post-transition growth.
Our supportive and culturally responsive coaching work begins with 8 structured sessions over eight weeks and may include nature-based, somatic, expressive art, and Christian practice exercises. Generally speaking, grief coaching relationships do not extend beyond one year.
Grief coaching is not covered by insurance and is not eligible for insurance reimbursement. The fee for a 50-minute session is $175.
