The loss of a loved one, whether a person or a cherished animal companion, can bring deep emotional pain and uncertainty. If you are navigating grief, you do not have to go through it alone. My name is Christine Marino, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and EMDR Certified Therapist with a growing specialization in grief, including pet loss. I am currently completing my certification as a Pet Loss Grief Specialist to further support those facing this unique and often overlooked form of grief.

Grief can take many forms, including sadness, anxiety, guilt, or a sense of feeling stuck. I use the EMDR Grief Protocol to help clients gently process difficult memories, ease emotional overwhelm, and create space for healing. This evidence-based approach is particularly effective for those experiencing traumatic or unresolved grief, including the sudden loss of a pet or loved one.

My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and clinical expertise. Whether you are anticipating a loss, coping with recent grief, or navigating the long-term impact of loss, I offer a supportive environment where you can begin to heal in your own time and on your own terms.
