Kristi Dechairo Ahern, LMHC, LPCC

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington state and a Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) in California. As someone whose work is all about helping others through life's difficult challenges, I felt the importance to gain more tools for working with loss. Becoming a specialist at the Grief Recovery Institute has been a special journey, one that has involved my own healing process from the loss of my dad. Learning the Grief Recovery Method allowed me to work through the unresolved parts that were still causing me pain so I could enjoy an ongoing emotional relationship to my dad, without the negative feelings. In considering loss, it is also important to recognize that grief comes in all forms, it may be a death of a loved one, a divorce, a job loss, or maybe a move, and these changes can throw us into a state of disequilibrium and often feel overwhelming. Sometimes we even become stuck, unable to move forward in positive ways. I hope to hear from you so we can begin your healing journey together.
