Mari Nardolillo-Dias, The Grief Whisperer
About
As a Thanatologist, certified grief counselor and hospice volunteer, I find bereavement and end of life counseling to be my destiny. It is humbling and gratifying; I am privileged to work with grieving a loss (death and non-death), both expected or traumatic, as well as spending the remaining months of an individual’s life with them.
I have worked with people of all ages as they grieve. I use methods based on the cognitive and emotional development of the individual. This includes play, theater, art and storytelling therapies for children, which is modified for teens. When working with adults I use individual and group facilitation with an integrative therapeutic approach.
My practice operates on a “concierge” or ” direct service” model. Although I do not accept medical insurance, you pay a monthly fee that allows you unlimited visits as well as house calls. House calls for both bereaved and end of life clients may include any safe, special place, in addition to hospitals and nursing homes.
$350 per month for unlimited sessions and house calls. (Groups are extra). Single session: $100
