Welcome back to Therapy Chat! This week, we're continuing our discussion of grief, family dynamics, the holidays, and what we can do to cope with grief any time of year.
My guest today is Debi Jenkins Frankle, LMFT, a TTN member and grief-informed psychotherapist based in California with over 30 years of clinical experience. She specializes in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate a wide range of losses and life transitions, whether sudden or anticipated. While a significant portion of her professional work is dedicated to training and consulting with other therapists in grief and loss, Debi devotes half of her practice to providing direct care to clients.
Over the years, she has supported thousands of grievers on their unique paths to healing and growth. We talked about grief and loss, the recent loss of one of my parents and more.
