# Online therapy for Sarasota

Grief and loss come up more often from Sarasota than from anywhere else I work, and the demographics explain most of that.

Telehealth, not an office

Losing a spouse after forty years is not the same problem as losing a parent at thirty. The work does not treat it as if it were.

Healing grief is not forgetting, and nothing here is aimed at getting you to let go of the person. It is about letting the weight set down enough that the love is carryable.

There is no timeline you are expected to be on and no stages you are supposed to move through in order.

Sarasota and Manatee counties: Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Bradenton. There is no physical office in Sarasota. Every session runs by secure video.

Sessions are online. This shows the area served, not an office location.

Sessions

90 minutes, by secure video

Fee
