Help With Pet Loss

Counseling is available in Manhattan by appointment. Under certain circumstances, home visits can be arranged.  Please call me at 917.696.2307 to make an appointment.

In addition to in-person counseling, I offer three other types of individual counseling. 

Phone sessions are one-hour sessions with the same structure as an in-person session.  They are arranged by appointment.

Skype sessions are one-hour sessions that take place via the internet, and allow us to see each other.  These sessions are also arranged by appointment.

Email support is a five-day ongoing support service that is especially useful immediately after a loss.  After signing up for this service, a client can email me their questions and concerns as many times as they wish during a day, and I will respond with answers and comments once a day. 

Support groups are one of the best forms of assistance for the bereaved, because being with others who are grieving helps a person feel less alone.  Hearing others talk about their losses can make one's own experiences of grief more understandable and acceptable.  I am available to lead support groups for veterinary clinics and other organizations.  I will post on this website any groups I lead that are open to the public.  I am also happy to refer clients to other pet loss support groups in New York. 

My normal fee is $100 per one-hour individual counseling session.  However, a sliding scale is available for clients with special circumstances.  Often just one or two sessions are enough to make a difference, enabling the bereaved to continue the healing process on their own.

The charge for the email support service is $100 total for the five days of support.  A sliding scale is available for clients with special circumstances.

My fee for leading a support group depends on the size and structure of the group.
