Grief and loss is so prevalent, yet there are not a lot of tools readily available to cope and overcome these painful experiences. People say you have to let go and move on in your life, but no one tells you what you need to do to accomplish that. The Grief Recovery Method® Outreach Program not only makes that possible but provides partnerships and guidance to ensure that it happens.
I currently offer groups and one-on-one support both virtually and in-person (in Austin, TX). I offer a 15-minute consultation to share more information and details about the program. Please email Latosha at [email protected] to schedule a consultation.
My Grief Recovery Story
I discovered the Grief Recovery Method in 2014 when I was tasked to develop a grief component for a psychotherapy group. For three years, I helped many military service members with the information I got from The Grief Recovery Handbook. In 2022, my mother had an aneurysm rupture and overnight she was incapacitated. She is still physically present, but no longer has any other functional capabilities. Nothing I had learned or had taught up until that point helped me to understand grieving someone who’s fully present physically, but completely gone in every other aspect.
It had been several years since I taught the grief component of that group, but I remembered the Grief Recovery Handbook that I used during that time. I pulled the book out and decided to officially go to training to become a specialist. I completed training in the Spring of 2023 and to date I have delivered both the group and one-on-one formats of the Grief Recovery Method.
From my own experience, working through the steps of the program was life changing. I was able to complete ALL the emotional baggage that once held me back and move into a space where I accept my mom’s progress for what it is. With clients, I’ve seen the emotional transformation that happens after confronting in actionable steps the baggage they carried before the program.
I look forward to the opportunity to help you process your grief.
Best,

Our support groups offer a safe, evidence-based environment for grievers to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced. These groups are led by Grief Recovery Method Specialists, trained and certified by the Grief Recovery Institute.
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 or online with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist specifically trained to help people move through loss with dignity and respect.
