Getting to know Shelley Book

Specializing in grief and loss counseling, I understand the bravery it takes to seek therapy, especially while dealing with pain from a loss. My path to becoming a grief therapist isn't solely professional; it's highly personal too, having experienced significant losses myself. I comprehend how isolating grief can feel and the way others pressure you to prematurely 'move on.' Your grief is valid and your healing timeline is your own. Healing is absolutely possible, whether the grief comes from death, the end of relationships, job loss, illness, or anticipatory loss. In our therapy sessions, I offer a non-judgmental environment to process emotions at your own pace, providing compassionate support to help you carry your grief, allowing joy to resurface in your life. My specializations are grief, loss counseling, anxiety, depression, ADHD testing (adults & children), diagnosis and therapy support. I utilize varied therapeutic approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for traumatic grief, stress reduction techniques, animal-assisted therapy with my certified therapy dog, Libby, and personalized coping strategy development. Many clients find therapy helps them feel heard, understood and less isolated. We'll explore your grief comfortably, validate emotions without judgment, and devise strategies to alleviate both emotional and physical distress. Healing does not entail 'getting over' your loss—it means learning to live with it, honoring both your grief and your capacity for hope. If you're struggling with recent or deep-rooted pain, I am here to support you with the compassion and understanding you deserve. Should you wish to explore our potential collaboration, kindly contact me for a consultation.
