I came to the Grief Recovery Method through my work as a therapist.  I have been working for ten years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with children, adolescents and adults.  For most of my work, I worked with those dealing with trauma in a clinic setting- and this oftentimes was connected to grief.  I did behavioral health consulting for women's health/OBGYN teams where I saw grief in perinatal and postpartum women from miscarriage, fertility struggles, stillbirths, change in roles and relationship loss. I additionally worked in HIV and AIDS in the infectious Disease department where there was grief around health. 

And while I felt confident and competent working with grievers, I noticed I did not have the tools to really help my grieving clients move forward from emotional pain other than to correct misinformation they were holding.  I found the same to be true among my family and friends. That sent me searching for information and training to help my clients heal and recover from their grief in a more profound way.  I did a lot of researching before deciding to sign up for GRM.  I was most swayed by the fact that it is Evidenced Based as an effective protocol proven to help people recover- and the only Evidenced Based practice for grief. 

I was amazed, however, when I did Grief Recovery myself during the training in how much it helped me from the many grief experiences I have had in my life: death of loved ones, end of relationships, moving and more. Even more impressive are the results I see when working with my clients.  They have felt it helpful- noting that they experience more joy in their memories, have more relief from pain and can experience the positive in their relationships again.  They have expressed happiness and gratitude for the program.  I love this program and wish more people would do it.  Working on grief, can be scary- but it is worth it. You do not have to live with pain from grief, you can feel better. While there is no wrong way to grieve, there's a right way to recovery- and this is it.  I offer a free consultation, and although I'm based in Maryland for my therapy practice, my Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist training allows me to work online 1:1 with anyone anywhere in the world.  If you don't work with me, please reach out to someone else on this website, but I'd be honored to help you through this difficult time.

Take care,
Lisa
