Anna Rolando, LCSW provides supportive and competent care for individuals experiencing grief and loss.
As humans, the pain of grief and loss is unavoidable. This pain is the result of:
losing a loved one to illness and death
divorce
unemployment
familial estrangement
care giving
life-changing or life-limiting diagnoses
family trauma
infertility
chronic pain
While we can't "undo" many of the losses that bring us grief and pain, we can process these losses and share our feelings within the presence of caring others. This is where our healing begins. We can grow to accept the pain of our loss while no longer being controlled by it, and we can learn to have fulfilling and meaningful lives while integrating our loss.
Anna uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with a model for "companioning" the bereaved to support individuals as they walk in the reality of their grief and loss while taking committed actions to live lives reflective of their authenticity and values.
