Toby's Friends - Pet Loss Grief Counseling - Nationwide
I am truly sorry for your loss. With compassion I will walk alongside as you take this journey of healing using sound psychological techniques based in brain science.
I understand from first hand experience that the loss of a beloved pet changes our world forever whether it be from a natural passing or euthanasia or tragic loss or rehoming. For those who are about to lose a pet the anticipatory bereavement can be particularly overwhelming and it does not have to be that way. Also those who lose a loyal service animal the grief can be uniquely painful. The way we feel after our beloved passes is not the new normal. We deserve not to be sad, we deserve not to continually suffer, we deserve to be able to release sadness, guilt, and anger. However, our grief is unique it is as individual as a snowflake. My vocation is to help all who are experiencing pet loss, I am especially called to singles, couples, disabled, seniors, and those in the LGBTQ+ community.
During our session I will make a safe space for you to express your feelings, and gently guide you into a place of healing.

Greg is the most compassionate and supportive person. We immediately felt connected and safe to discuss our pain. I could not express how significant working with him was in our coping with the loss of beloved pet.
