Elissa Bishop-Becker

“We can't choose what happens to us, but we can choose how we react. Let me help you make better choices, find meaning in your experiences, and accept what you cannot control. Anxiety, depression, addictions, physical illness, anger, guilt, fear, and relationship problems are often symptoms of grief over a life-altering loss or change. I am both experienced at addressing the symptoms and an expert in the field of grief and loss. I am empathetic, patient, and an excellent facilitator of growth and learning. I create an atmosphere of safety, acceptance and hope for my clients.

I use a psychoeducational and person-centered approach--sharing my knowledge and framework in a transparent way, and helping you find your own way forward. Our Center's sliding scale fee is affordable and based on your income. I also offer secure online chat and email counseling via HelpHorizons.com.

"Ms. Bishop-Becker's Transformative Bereavement model redefines the outdated medical model... and introduces it as a transformative spiral.... the power of this journey can leave one in a mature and energized place that... provides a renewed outlook and calling in life." --M. Grove, DRE”
