Erica G. Sorell is a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and Certified Grief Recovery Specialist with an office in Sherman Oaks and Pasadena California.  

In her own words:

"When I was 25, my dad died. I was totally crushed. I couldn’t imagine life without him. Everyone around me told me “it just takes time. I went back to work, yet all I could do was stare at the wall. I moved around and went from job to job, from apartment to apartment, from man to man, but nothing could fill the void. I developed an eating disorder. I didn’t know how to live in a world without my dad. 

"I attended the very first Grief Recovery Method workshop in 1982. It gave me my life back. I could finally let go of the anger and resentment. I was now free to love my dad and hold onto precious memories of him.

"I decided to go back to school and become a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I started working with teens with chemical dependency issues as well as their families. I realized there was so much grief. They were in so much emotional pain. I knew I had to get certified as Grief Recovery Specialist so that I could teach them the tools to heal their broken hearts."
