Katie Parisi, LMSW(She/Her/Hers)

Grief can feel overwhelming, isolating, and at times, deeply misunderstood. Whether you are navigating the loss of a loved one, the heartbreak of losing a beloved animal, or the quiet ache of anticipatory grief, you do not have to carry it alone.

I specialize in supporting individuals through grief in all its forms—including pet loss, life transitions, and the emotional weight that comes with loving deeply. My work is rooted in the belief that grief is not something to “move on” from, but something we learn to hold with care, compassion, and meaning over time.

Together, we create a space that is steady and nonjudgmental—where your story is honored, your emotions are welcomed, and your pace is respected. There is no timeline here, no pressure to feel differently than you do.

My approach is warm, compassionate, and grounded. I draw from evidence-based practices while honoring the deeply personal nature of grief. This may include gentle grounding techniques, meaning-making, and creating ways to stay connected to the love that remains. Above all, I believe in meeting each client exactly where they are.

If you are navigating grief and looking for a space that feels understanding, steady, and compassionate, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
