Grief Therapy with Pamela A. Malone, Ph.D., LCSW-S

I have devoted a significant part of my professional life to understanding the nature of loss and grief, and providing bereavement support to those who are grieving. I have also come to terms with my own personal losses. 

Experiences and lessons from these two areas—my professional role in grief counseling and my personal journey—have shaped my understanding of the emotional and physical impacts of loss. I view myself as a companion as you navigate through loss, grief, and healing. Grief often feels like an unwelcome stranger that visits at the most unexpected and difficult times. One moment you are fine, simply going through your day, and in the next moment, a tsunami of grief washes over you, taking your very breath away.

Our work together will focus on making sense of the senseless, and seeking meaning to continue through a life that will always carry elements of grief and sadness. In the early days of grief, you may find yourself grappling with questions about the loss: “How could this happen? Why did this happen to me? What could I have done to prevent it?” While grief does not simply vanish, you can learn to manage it better. I will assist you in discovering coping strategies to handle the myriad emotions connected to grief and loss, including sadness, anger, confusion, anxiety, bewilderment, shock, and disappointment.

Over the past 40 years, I have worked with adolescents, adults, and couples struggling to comprehend death due to suicide, prolonged illness, sudden death, substance misuse, and murder. I hold the narratives of those who lost a spouse or partner, parent, child, grandparent, sibling, cousin, aunt or uncle, friend, coworker, and for therapists, a client.
