Hello, my name is Pauline Alten. I live in sunny San Diego and have enjoyed the convenience of working online as a mental health educator since 2019. As a California Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I provide compassion and support in both individual sessions and educational groups. This experience as a virtual counselor has prepared me to help others process their grief from the comfort of their homes, so they do not have to grieve alone. The Grief Recovery Method has helped me understand how to get closure on the incomplete emotions and pain that I have carried around since I was very young. My grief started when I had to say goodbye to my parents and siblings when I was 21 and moved to California. I experienced many more losses over the years from addiction, divorce, friendships ending, and the death of my father. When I turned 50, my grief became very intense, from the death of my fiancé, my mother, and the loss of my career, all within 3 months. I am incredibly grateful that I was introduced to the Grief Recovery Method. It changed my life! This tool helped me get closure on several painful events from the past, in addition to the losses that brought me to this class. I felt lighter and so much more joyful! This class was so helpful to me that I decided to become a specialist! The method is so impactful, that no matter the loss, it really will change your life. Now my passion is to help you find the joy in living again, in the same way I was able to find it! Contact me via phone, text or email for a free consultation. I would love to speak with you and answer any questions you may have.
