Grief Counseling after Miscarriage or Stillbirth

You can’t take the news of one more pregnancy announcement or celebration. Ever since your miscarriage, you have tried to put on a happy face, but inside you feel tired and alone. You don’t want to upset other people because no one knows what to say or how to be with you at this moment, so instead, you continue to suffer in silence.

There were no warning signs until it was too late. You had no control and now you are constantly reliving that day, that moment. Even though time has passed you continue to experience the trauma daily. Your family and friends have moved on and the loneliness and isolation are all-consuming.

You want to find someone who acknowledges that your baby was real and your grief is painful. Someone who can help you navigate through this life-changing event that is so often disregarded.

My name is Cheryl; I provide online therapy in Texas, Illinois and Colorado.

I am Cheryl Reeley Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I help women who have experienced pregnancy loss to grieve the loss of their pregnancy and baby, to feel that their experience is worthy of acknowledgement and to process the trauma that is controlling their lives. My clients are able to talk freely with me about their loss without the fear of being told that they can try again or that everything happens for a reason. I listen with an open heart and sit in the painful moments with them. I incorporate Cognitive Processing Therapy and journaling into sessions as a way to continue the healing process outside of the therapy room. The flow of my therapy style is creative and fluid, providing a unique experience for every woman. My clients feel a sense of relief even after their first session. 

For 6 years I worked in a hospital setting in the Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic, Labor and Delivery, and the NICU. I have walked with women throughout all stages of pregnancy that do not follow the expected journey that ends in bringing a baby home. This experience allows me to authentically meet my clients where they are at this moment in time.

Together we will find ways to process the experience of pregnancy loss, integrate techniques to help calm yourself when emotions seem overwhelming and navigate the medical system that might now seem unreliable.
