Hi, I’m Felicia Dinkins, a certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist at All Aboard Grief Recovery Center in Maple Heights, OH. After experiencing significant losses and emotional challenges in my youth, I found myself in my early twenties emotionally and mentally out of resources to move forward, with no one who could truly help me navigate my struggles. Being a reliable and resourceful support to my circle of family and friends, I often asked myself, Who helps the helper? I found my answer when I discovered the Grief Recovery Method (GRM), which gave me practical tools to rise, process grief, and navigate life’s unavoidable changes.

Over the next 15 years, I faced many additional losses and life transitions: the passing of beloved loved ones, supporting veterans transitioning to civilian life, becoming an empty nester, marital challenges, health decline due to diabetes, COVID-related changes, shifts in social status, guiding important family members experiencing dementia, helping adult children transition from front-seat drivers to back-seat assistants, relocating parents, relocating communities, and losing my beloved dogs of over 14 years. During this time, an emotional health assessment triggered a “light bulb” moment, reminding me of the GRM tools I had learned years earlier and their lasting power.

I’m passionate about breaking generational patterns of “bad advice” or no guidance, and challenging the cultural belief that therapy isn’t for us. My approach creates a safe, warm, action-based environment where everyone is welcome on this journey. Through GRM, I provide practical, powerful tools that actually work—no more useless strategies—helping clients experience “aha” moments that move them in the right direction.

Today, I work with clients in one-on-one or group sessions in a safe, action-based environment where everyone is welcome—no matter where you are in life. Together, we focus on tools and strategies that truly work—helping you process grief, strengthen relationships, and navigate the rollercoasters of life while moving toward a more complete, whole, and empowered self. I believe that when real actions are taken, meaningful results and lasting transformation naturally follow.
