About Mike

Hi Everyone.... My name is Mike Strick and I am an Advanced GRM Specialist. I am here to be your companion as you navigate your individual grief journey and the changes in your life by listening, mentoring, teaching, and encouraging you along the way. I have witnessed exceptional results the last 19 years leading The Grief Recovery Method® in the Greater Cincinnati area, and I have guided well more than 600 people through this transformational action program. Recognizing early on that many folks who completed the GRM wanted to work through additional losses, I have led more than a hundred through the program multiple times to release pain associated with other losses. As they say, "The proof is in the pudding", and I have personally used Grief Recovery to work through multiple losses in my own life, and it has provided me with profound healing. In my role as a Bereavement Coordinator at a hospice for 15 years, I educated and guided thousands of grievers from all walks of life along their grief journey. I have worked with many forms of grief related to death: Long and short-term illnesses, unexpected deaths, accidents, suicides, murders, drug overdoses, miscarriages, abortions, and others.  Additional losses I have worked with include: Divorce, estrangement in relationships, Alzheimer’s/dementia, Covid, changes in health, financial hardships, unemployment, pet losses, and the list goes on. I was trained as a mental health therapist and have a MA in Psychology – Mental Health Counseling. Before working in hospice,  I worked as a counselor with adults with special needs, as a counselor in a college counseling office, and as a career and job loss counselor with adults.  I also have a BS in Business and spent the first ten years of my career in various sales and human resource positions with Fortune 500 companies, mid-sized businesses and start-ups. I have been featured on local television and radio stations and have given numerous talks on grief and loss at churches, community centers, senior centers, Stephen Ministry groups, substance abuse/addiction centers, cancer centers, healthcare groups, women’s groups, and chamber of commerce meetings to name a few. If you are interested in learning more about the Grief Recovery Method® and working with me one on one, please email or call to set up a 15 minute free consultation. [email protected]

My Experience

Mike Strick exhibited a mastery of this material that helped me in a number of ways to gain understanding of how my own grief had been affecting me. He was completely respectful and attentive. He created an atmosphere of trust and honesty that I've never experienced with a private therapist. One of the most important things he did was create a container where I could speak my absolute truth without being judged. I've never felt so "heard" and supported. The healing I've gained is proportional to the quality Mike's leadership, the thoroughness of the homework, and my willingness to be honest with myself and really dig in. Having worked on multiple losses using the Grief Recovery Method, I am a firm believer in this methodology. The healing I've gained has made me a lighter, clearer version of myself and I highly recommend it.

My Experience

This program was very helpful for me because it gave me tools and information about grief and coping with grief that were completely new to me. I felt supported by this program that my emotions and experience were unique and valid, yet was also challenged to think of my grief in a new way and apply a new perspective to it. Mike Strick, my program facilitator, was patient and gracious as I navigated an uncharted territory of my grief.

My Experience

I am a very slow learner, and I definitely have more issues to work on, but I do feel like it helped me learn things about myself, about how to deal with what life throws at me, and I am confident, that I will, one day, be able to smile again.

My Experience

It has changed the lies and myths that I have been taught! It has taught me valuable listening skills! It has also taught me how not to block people’s feelings while they are sharing their feelings. Most importantly, the homework assignments were difficult, challenging, painful but they allowed me to explore feelings that had been buried and unspoken! They helped me slowly peel off the hurt, anger, guilt and pain! My goal was to find a new norm and release the grief and celebrate the life of my brother with loving memories instead of focusing on the pain! Thanks for helping me discover me again!
