What I treat · Grief & loss · Fennimore
Grief counseling for Fennimore, Wisconsin, by telehealth or in person.
Grief and loss counseling for Fennimore residents, with Wisconsin-licensed Amber Miller, MSed., LPC. Telehealth statewide, in-person at the Superior office. Most insurance accepted, including BadgerCare and Medicaid.
Fennimore is a small city in Grant County in southwestern Wisconsin and the home of Southwest Wisconsin Technical College. The agriculture and trades programs draw students from the surrounding seven-county region. Telehealth from anywhere in southwestern Wisconsin works the same way it does in the rest of the state.
What Grief & loss therapy looks like
Grief work in my practice covers the obvious losses, like the death of a parent, a spouse, a child, a friend, and the less obvious ones (divorce, a friendship that ended, a body that has changed, a future that turned out not to be available). The form of the loss matters less than the fact of it.
There is no normal timeline. The phases people tell you about (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) come and go and come back. The work is not to finish grieving. The work is to find a way to keep living alongside it.
How we work on it
Most grief sessions are slower than other kinds of therapy. We talk. I do not fill silence. We name what is here. Person-centered work is the spine; other tools come in where they are useful.
Grief is the price of having loved something. The work is not to lower the price.
How sessions work for Fennimore clients
Fennimore is too far from the Superior office for regular in-person sessions, so this is a telehealth-only relationship. That works as well for this kind of work as in-person. We pick a regular weekly slot and keep it.

What to do next
If this read like something you recognize, the next step is to schedule the consultation or intake session. The free 15 minutes consult gives us both a sense of whether we would work well together before you book the first paid session. Text, call, or use the form, whichever is easiest.
