Counseling Advice?
This should be a happy time of the year, but unfortunately tragedy can strike at any time. A reader emailed to us recently:
"A friend of the family recently lost his mother, and is having a had time dealing with the pain. Although he has lots of support from family and friends, understandably the pain is still affecting him on a day to day basis. It might be helpful for him to talk with a professional who can help him work through his grieving, and I was hoping the UrbanMamas community would be able to share some suggestions on counselors or therapists for him to contact."
Any suggestions?
Teresa Weis of Insights Outside is fabulous. I am sure she could help him. More info on her site: http://www.insightsoutside.com/

Dr. Jay Johnson at Western Psychological on BH Highway near Jesuit has been a huge blessing to us and members of our extended family. The reception staff could use some improvement recently, but Dr. Jay is a wonderful psychologist. westernpsych.com/directory/practitioner_detail.php?id=34

I am a therapist in private practice in NE Portland at 21st and Broadway. I believe strongly that grieving is work that is greatly helped with additional support above and beyond the love that friends and family offer. My website is: www.LionTreeCounseling.com and my contact number is 503-985-6344. I offer a free 30 minute consultation, and am also able to help with referrals if I am not the right fit.
Best,
Meg Jeske, M.A.

Please consider Dougy Center. My husband passed away this past summer (July 2010) and I was left with not only my own grief but questions about how to help our two children (12 and 2). The dougy center has been a wonderful, healing place for all of us. Best to you.
