Honoring the Bond:
Pet Loss Therapy and Grief Counseling Services
Specialized Pet Loss Therapy with a Licensed Psychologist Who Understands Your Grief
Are you or a loved one grieving the loss of a beloved pet?
Our practice specializes in the human–animal bond and understand how deeply this significant personal loss can affect your well-being. When you’re struggling with complex thoughts, overwhelming emotions, or finding it hard to move forward, we offer compassionate pet loss therapy and grief counseling.
Our goal is to support you through the bereavement process with genuine care, understanding, and professional guidance…so you don’t have to navigate this grief alone.
If you are experiencing any of the following, we are here to help:
Intense sadness, emptiness, or sense of emotional numbness
Guilt, self-blame, or second-guessing medical or end-of-life circumstances
Grief following euthanasia, sudden loss, illness, or a traumatic event
Anger, shock, or lingering “what if” thoughts about how your animal companion transitioned
Loved ones’ concerns about your emotional well-being since the loss
Recent loss triggering a complex trauma history
Feeling misunderstood, unsupported, or judged by others
Difficulty returning to daily routines including changes to sleep, appetite and concerns with focus
A deep sense of loneliness or loss of purpose after your beloved’s passing
Losing a beloved pet can profoundly affect your emotional well-being and daily life. Because this grief is often misunderstood, many people struggle in silence. Specialized support from a licensed psychologist can help you process this loss with care and genuine understanding.
Pet Loss Florida provides pet loss therapy, pet grief counseling, and telehealth services, including animal-assisted therapy.
We support pet parents, veterinary and animal care professionals. We are committed to helping individuals whose lives are enhanced through a relationship with a pet, an emotional support animal and service animals.
Pet Loss Therapy Available via Telehealth
Our specialized pet loss grief counseling is available through secure telehealth, making compassionate, expert support accessible wherever you are. Online sessions offer a flexible and private way to receive care during one of life’s most difficult transitions, without the added stress of travel.
Telehealth services are provided by a licensed psychologist in accordance with applicable state licensing regulations. Your privacy is prioritized through secure, HIPAA-compliant video and phone sessions, ensuring ethical, professional, and confidential care.
