  • It's time to focus on your emotional healing...

    Are you or someone you care about experiencing a broken heart?

    Is it due to a death, divorce, or another major loss or life change? If so, you might feel sad, lost, distracted, angry, or confused. You are not alone.

    The Grief Recovery Method has been helping people feel better following a loss for 40 years and I feel honored to be among the Grief Recovery Institute's specialists that help people all over the world!

    If you're looking for a proven way to feel better after loss, I truly can help you through your grief.

    *Although I'm a spiritual person, this method does NOT require you to follow any spiritual or religious beliefs.*

    Your spirituality is your business, and we only discuss it if you want to, as it pertains to your experience of grief.

  • What is Grief Recovery?

    *The Grief Recovery Method is not a spiritual process, nor energy work. It's not coaching or therapy, either.*

    I say that because a lot of my other work is spiritual energy work, bodywork, and coaching, but...

    The Grief Recovery Method is its own unique and structured process of action steps designed to help us digest our grief, losses, and major life changes so that we can be free and fully present in our lives again. It's an organized method of applying specific, proven-effective tools that we need to help us heal our broken hearts and restore a deep sense of well-being.

  • I can help you navigate loss with compassion, clarity, and effective methods for healing.

    I’m Theresa Gutierrez Patterson and I'm here to hold a safe, nonjudgmental space where your heart can be fully seen and heard so your healing can begin.

    My mom died when I was 15 years old, and I was in a situation where it wasn't safe for me to grieve, so I had to hold it in for over 20 years until I was diagnosed with adrenal exhaustion. I've also been through many more traumas and heartbreaks since early childhood, including loss of safety, trust, control of my own body, betrayal, divorce, and even empty nest. The Grief Recovery Method helped me feel safe to express and digest my grief fully. I feel a new lightness and freedom I didn't know was possible and I want that for you, too.

    Your loss and emotional pain are not the end of your story!

    You really can heal your heart and move forward with your life, and that's exactly what I'm here to help you do.
