Grief Therapists in Riverside, CA

Life is full of changes; changes can cause anxiety, depression, fear, or grief. Whether from relationship changes, loss or misunderstandings change can be overwhelming. My experience has shown that there are a number of ways to help someone; however, there is no one size fits all approach. Utilizing your strength we can find the best approach to fit your needs to gain empowerment to overcome the challenges of change. My style is compassionate, yet direct. Utilizing compassion, empathy and reality we can build the necessary skills needed to navigate the change, as well as the tools needed for future challenges.

Fog, Heavy Rain, Snow and Smoke are all elements that can impair ones visibility. Well how about chaos, emotional instability, anxiety, depression, clutter, stress? While it's true heavy rain and dense fog can cloud our physical vision; environmental, behavioral and chemical stressors can cloud our mental visibility. My name is Mabel (May-Bell) and it is my goal and mission for you to become emotionally and mentally healthy while learning effective tools you can apply to every day life’s challenges as you encounter them.

I offer support, reorganizing, and reimagining life for those coping with chronic illness, dementia, and losses of all kinds. If you need help getting through grief that's what I do. For the time being I am online, where I meet clients and lead grief and dementia groups. My grief groups are 8 weeks, focused on working through the loss, and getting you to your new life. The dementia group is the 3rd Saturday of each month at https://www.facebook.com/Riversidedementiasupport/- and it's free of charge. I approach life, and therapy looking for the joy while managing the tough times- not letting them manage life. Call to see me.

I believe all individuals are deserving of love, kindness, and joy. This often seems impossible when life presents challenges, loss, or disappointment. We cannot choose what happens around us, but we can choose our reactions to life’s circumstances. The meaning we make will direct our path. I am committed to helping you identify constructive options that support your long term goals. Together we can practice emotion regulation, distress tolerance and positive interpersonal skills. All of these will contribute to personal growth, improved relationships, a healthy sense of self, and a meaningful life.

My passion lies in helping individuals from a relational perspective and instilling hope and assurance of one's individual journey. I believe we all have a story and the right to be heard and seen and that is what I look to offer you within our therapeutic relationship. i have experience treating adults with a wide array of issues such as depression, anxiety, attachment concerns, trauma, abuse, grief and loss, change of life issues, divorce, adoption, and relational disorders.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to try something different to address issues they face, see things in a different light, and is willing to do the work to create the change that will help them be happier and healthier. I help clients to build their mental toolbox to address current issues and be better prepared to meet new challenges with confidence throughout the rest of their lives and clients who are open to this benefit the most. I love working with clients who are ready to prioritize themselves and commit to this journey.
