I specialize in treating adults with grief, anxiety, and trauma, but not limited to conditions such as relationship issues, life transitions, pregnancy-prenatal-postpartum, premarital-marital-post marital, depression, parenting, and behavioral problems.  My approach is to accept you where you are, in a non-judging, neutral, nurturing, and safe zone. My desire for you is to obtain an optimal level of living, especially when it comes to your mental and emotional state.

I encourage you to not fight alone through times of uncertainty, frustration, hopelessness, despair, darkness, and confusion. Receiving professional therapy will provide you with a space that is tailored exclusively for you to address emotional issues and heal them properly.

GRIEF EDUCATION AND COACHING
Loss happens. You don’t have to navigate it alone.

Grief is about loss, and that loss comes in many forms – in addition to loss due to death, you may experience loss of a relationship, a career, hopes and dreams, health, or stability.

There is no hierarchy in grief. Whatever type of loss you’ve experienced, your grief is real and it is as individual to you as your fingerprint. There is no blueprint for grieving, and the process is not linear; some days will be better than others. You may experience happiness and sadness at the same time or look forward with hope even as you reflect and grieve. While each person’s grief is unique, all grief shares the common need to be witnessed.

I am a certified grief educator, which means that I have completed a certificate program designed by world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler. A Certified Grief Educator is committed to providing the highest level of grief support through education, experience, and insights into the often unacknowledged rocky terrain of grief.

As a grief educator and coach, I will first and foremost bear witness to your grief. I will be your companion as we explore and discover the ways of being and doing that feel right to you. Together we will work to reconnect with your strengths, your coping strategies, and the relationships, activities and inner resources that give your life meaning. I make no assumptions about what you feel, think or want. Rather, I come to our sessions with an open mind and an ear deeply tuned to the one person who knows best how to get your life moving again: you.

Bamboo Center for Grief, Growth, & Well-being specializes in offering individual therapy for those struggling with grief/bereavement or other losses, life transitions, and those who want more satisfaction and fulfillment from life.

About Dr. Anna Darbonne: I help clients coping with loss and life transitions to make sense of and accept the changes as well as to transform the experience into increased fulfillment and personal growth.  I believe in the power of laughter, that taking care of ourselves is a form of altruism, that love lives on beyond death, and that a warm brownie a la mode is one of the world’s greatest inventions.
