Pet Loss Therapy

Virtually in Middletown, NY and throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut

When we lose a beloved pet, we lose a family member and the pain can feel overwhelming and can be as much or more intense than for a human loved one.

It feels like a piece of your heart is missing.

They weren't "just a dog" or "only a cat." Not to you.

To you, they were your family. Your soulmate. Your truest, purest bond.

And losing them has left a wound unlike any you've known.

Your grief is real.

This loss cuts deeper than you ever imagined it could.

Holding it together feels impossible.

The grief, anger, shock, anxiety, and disorientation are too much to carry alone.

People in your life just don’t get it.

They don’t understand the depth of your pain.

Your connection with your animal companion is unlike any other

Its one of the most significant and loving relationships in your life

Find Comfort in Talking To Someone Who Truly Understands Pet Loss

I know the devastating pain of losing a fur baby. I've experienced it myself several times, most recently when my beloved Shiba Maya passed in the summer of 2024. This personal journey through pet loss has deepened my understanding of the profound grief that comes with saying goodbye to a cherished companion.

Your pet's loss won't be considered trivial or invalid in therapy. Therapy for pet loss offers a gentle, supportive space for those adjusting to the loss of a beloved pet. In this safe environment, you can openly share your grief, guilt, and loneliness, finding solace in knowing your emotions are understood and deeply valid.

I want to hear about how unique your animal was—and still is—to you. Please share your favorite memories with me. I welcome you to bring photos, videos, and your pet's favorite items to our sessions together. These tangible connections to your companion are honored here.

Together, we'll navigate this difficult grief journey. I'll provide a compassionate listening ear, thoughtful guidance, and coping strategies tailored to your needs. Therapy allows you to honor your pet's memory, process complex emotions, and discover ways to heal while keeping their spirit alive in your heart.

You don't have to walk this path alone.
