Integrative Grief Coaching

As a grief expert with over a decade of peer support for the widowed community, I specialize in spouse/partner loss and widowed parenting, while welcoming all forms of grief- whether from death, life transitions, or existential challenges. Sessions balance tears with laughter while processing complex emotions, and will move at a pace that matches your level of comfort. Together, we will identify underlying barriers to healing that have you stuck in survival mode. 

 

Individual sessions also benefit those who are interested in what the Widowed Support Program offers but are not comfortable with a group format, as well as past participants of the program who would like more time and individualized attention to focus on aspects of the program that stood out for them.   ​​

METHOD

Andrea Row holds a master's in mental health counseling, certification in grief counseling, certification in Grief Reiki® and has been providing peer-based grief support since 2009. Years of education, independent research, personal exploration, and being a firsthand witness to the varied needs of the grieving community all come together to inform her unique methods of coaching. Her approach is carefully tailored to meet each client's specific needs and preferences.

 

Andrea's method of integrative grief coaching blends a strong theoretical background and training in grief, loss, and trauma with diverse psychological theories, neuroscience insights, and personal development practices. Recognizing that grief impacts every facet of life, a holistic approach is used to address mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual/existential wellness. In a validating and nurturing environment, sessions are intuitively guided and tailored to your unique needs, incorporating modalities such as journaling, Reiki, meditation, mindfulness, and breathwork. Receive the support, education, and strategies that lead to stronger coping skills and increased resilience, helping you to integrate your loss into your life in healthy, meaningful ways. Services are secular, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity-affirming, ensuring that everyone receives the understanding and support they deserve. 

​

COACHING vs. THERAPY

Although there are some similarities, coaching and psychotherapy are distinct services. Coaching focuses on client-set goals and forward movement, while psychotherapy diagnoses and treats mental disorders. If psychotherapy needs are identified, Andrea will make appropriate referrals. To maintain ethical boundaries and guidelines, Andrea cannot serve as both coach and therapist for the same client.
