Marlena Butler, Ph.D.
Congratulations!
If you made it this far, it is not by mistake. You are here because of what is right with you.
Grief is the normal and natural reaction to loss. It’s not a pathological condition or a personality disorder.
I provide Grief Recovery Support Group programs (both group and one-on-one formats) as well as the When Children Grieve and Pet Loss programs. Each program provides a safe place, a safe person and specific tools to help grievers recover from loss. It is never too soon to address your grief, and you do not have to do it alone. I am here for you when you are ready. If you would like to work 1-on-1 in either Murfreesboro or Nashville, please schedule a consultation call.
If your school, church, business or agency would like to offer The Grief Recovery Method® programs to your staff/members/students/clients and community at large, please contact me for details and scheduling.

This program is for people who prefer to work one-on-one rather than in a group setting. The 7-session format utilizes the same proven materials as the group programs and can be completed in-person with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist specifically trained to help people move through loss with dignity and respect.
