Ask them about their style.
Tell them briefly about you.
They may or you may ask to start with an initial meeting. In person is the best way to assess if you are a match.

When I lost my son, Joel, in 2017 to complications due to heroin/meth addiction, I entered a time of deep depression and utter hopelessness. When others tried to offer well-meaning support, they often tried to connect me with “their friend who lost their son in a car accident” or “someone whose child died after a tragic bout with cancer.”
It’s not the same.
There is a stigma associated with deaths of this kind and the judgment that says, “they did this to themselves” or a tendency to blame those who loved them. Those of us who have experienced this kind of loss understand there is no one-size-fits-all to working through grief.
Personalized Grief Support – Scheduled by you, on your timeline.
Some people prefer weekly “touchpoint” sessions, while for others, this is too much, too soon. You schedule your appointment via my personalized calendar. We will meet either by Zoom or, as many prefer, simply by phone.
