Healing Hearts: What Our Clients Say
Sylvia Grant is compassionate with an empathetic ear, she allowed me to express myself freely without judgment.
She provided me with valuable insights and guidance through my grief and helped me look forward to my future.
My experience with Sylvia was incredibly positive.
Making the decision to go to grief counseling was the best decision that my family and I ever made… I reached out to Grief and Bereavement and right away I felt relief. Mrs. Grant… made me and my family feel as though this was a safe space… She gave my wife and I homework, that honestly helped our marriage. She assisted us through a very dark time…
If you are someone who has been a little scared or apprehensive about opening up and finally talking about your grief, Sylvia Grant makes you feel welcome and comforting… I have been experiencing my own personal grief of losing my son through a stillbirth and Sylvia was the very first person who I discovered to be safe enough to be vulnerable with.
