Because this thing called life is constantly challenging us to let go of that which we knew and loved, Beth Erlander aka the Grief Freak, is dedicated to helping you navigate grief, loss and trauma using Creative Grief Coaching, Body-Centered Psychotherapy, Creative Arts Therapies, and out of the box rituals.

"I'm the Grief Freak, which means I am passionate about helping myself and others grieve in a culture that is freaky about grief. I work with all forms of grief and loss, not just death loss.

My practice is informed by my own devastating loss?My beloved crashed on his mountain bike, broke his neck and became a quadriplegic; he is paralyzed from the chest down. Our life went upside down and I found myself in a sudden apprenticeship to grief...

I found that I needed out of the box ways to deal with my new life partners-loss, grief and trauma.

Professionally, I have been a therapist since 1999. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #4210) and a Registered Art Therapist (ATR). I am also a Certified Creative Grief Support Practitioner.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). I did it for my own trauma and loved the results, so I immediately got trained to use it with you." Beth Erlander
