Hi, my name is Somer Mercado and I meet with clients online or in person in the San Francisco Bay area (Fremont/East Bay). I was introduced to the Grief Recovery Method after my late husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm rupture in 2018 leaving me a widow and a single mom of two little boys. Grief Recovery helped me so much during one of the hardest times of my life. I had gone to therapy right after he died. The therapist was very nice and I felt comfortable to share my sorrows. However, after I left my appointment, after pouring out my heart, I was feeling emptier rather than feeling helped. I was talking and crying in circles and knew that I needed something different. During my first Grief Recovery appointment, I knew that this was exactly what I needed. My grief and sorrow needed a direction to move and the GRM gave me the steps and tools to do so. I am confident in this method and its steps towards recovery after loss. I look forward to meeting with you and walking with you through your steps towards healing and hope for life after your loss.
More about me: I teach part-time in our local public school district and love to educate and to spend time with people. I am remarried and now a mom to two teenage boys. I help to organize a widows group in my local church. I hope that you will find me warm, empathetic, and a good listener. I have a passion to work with other grievers and to offer them the level of support that was given to me. Please feel free to reach out to set up an initial call to see if this connection would be a good fit for you.
