It can get easier. As a fellow animal lover and mourner, I have devoted my Therapeutic Private Practice to helping those struggling with Pet Loss & Bereavement. I am licensed, California-based, MFT-certified in EMDR therapy (the leading trauma recovery modality). I work virtually with clients on a variety of topics related to loss including anticipatory loss, survivors' guilt, medical trauma, "prolonged" grief, disenfranchised grief, meaning making, hopelessness, post-traumatic growth and more. I use my extensive knowledge with EMDR therapy, previous experience working in an emergency vet clinic, and deep understanding/compassion to help you navigate your new life.

In trying to come to terms with this big loss, it can be difficult to complete daily tasks as well as facing everyday life. Please know that everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. However, one may need help to come to terms to the new reality of living in the absence of a loved one. I am here to provide a warm, caring, and empathetic environment where you can process the grief. Please contact me for a free consultation to start the healing process. You do not have to go through this alone. Mario Palacios,
