Joybound People & Pets • Walnut Creek, CA

Help process your natural feelings after the loss of a pet.

Pets are family — and losing a member of your family can be an extremely painful and traumatic experience. Thankfully, meeting with a pet loss support group may be able to help.

In a nurturing, small group, you are encouraged to process natural feelings of grief resulting from the loss of a beloved animal companion. Our sessions are run by a professional psychotherapist and offer additional resources to help you continue your path towards peace and healing.
