Introduction

Greetings I'm Anita! If this is your first time seeking help, I would like to commend you for your courage. I'm curious to know what bought you here and what you would like to get out of therapy or coaching? I specialize in helping individuals "going through" grief and transition. The different kinds of losses: 1) Primary losses - death of a love one, friend or pet, break-up, separation, divorce, loss of job, loss of money, victim of a crime and losses due to Covid19 2)Secondary losses - change in health, moving, illness, changes and success; 3) Limbo losses - long hauler, caregiver, waiting the outcome of a test result, a lawsuit, separation, not knowing the outcome; 4) Complicated losses - primary, secondary and limbo losses going on at the same time. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas for 20+ years, a National Certified Counselor (NCC) for 30+ years, and a Board Certified Coach (BCC) for 7 years. I highly respect and value individuals who come to me from diverse backgrounds, faiths, cultures and those who feel they have "no voice". I welcome communication between us. You are the one who has the answers even if you don't know it yet. : )
