Vee Alexander, MFT

As a grief therapist who has experienced my own loss, I am dedicated to helping others who are suffering with grief over personal losses.

Loss comes in many forms, big and small. Some of the big ones include the death of a loved person or animal; end of a marriage; losing a job, purpose or belief; leaving one’s beloved home/country. Talking about it with someone who understands what you’re going through can help you find the light at the end of the tunnel.
Each of us has our own way and our own timeline for grieving. You may be familiar with the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) first described by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. All of us experience these emotions in unique ways: they can appear in any order and they can surface anytime – sometimes so suddenly we’re knocked off-balance.
These reactions are normal… but when grief strikes, they feel anything but normal. And even surrounded by supportive people, we become aware that the world has moved on, leaving us with a hole in our heart and frozen in our utterly changed life. Many people choose to ignore or distract from the pain, and that is completely understandable. Yet, grief has a way of making itself known. And, surprisingly, there is rewarding work to be found in it.
Together we will honor your loss, work through memories-- both hard and beautiful, create rituals if you desire, and prioritize what is important to you in your changed life. I see my role as helping you transform your grief into something meaningful for you. It is my honor to guide you through your grief, to help you manage each unfolding experience and to incorporate tools that help you in your daily life.
