Grief Guidance
Elissa Bishop-Becker, M.Ed., LPC, NCC

Licensed Professional Counselor, Psychotherapist, and Workshop Facilitator
Co-Founder and President, Center for Transformative Counseling, Inc.

Elissa Bishop-Becker has a Master's of Education degree in Community Counseling, and is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Certified Counselor. She is a member of the Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC). Her specialization is in issues of grief, loss, and transition for both adolescents and adults. Her experience includes counseling for bereavement, addictions, and sexual abuse in hospice, college, and community settings.

She has been transformed by and recovered from many losses, including the deaths of her daughter and father, and has developed a framework for the grief process that expands on current theories. That framework, Transformative Bereavement, has helped many people heal and move forward into meaningful living. She has recently completed a book manuscript on her theory.

Ms. Bishop-Becker is also a medium and channel, and has been channeling her daughter in spirit, Rikkity, since her death in 1995. She is the co-founder of Spiritual Persistence, a "sister "site of Spirit Space. Her highly developed spiritual sensitivity combined with her professional training give her a unique ability to help her clients move forward and heal through their grief process.

Loss is an end, but it can also be a beginning; it is a crisis, but it can also be an opportunity for learning and growth.

Services and Fees:

Ms. Bishop-Becker is offering an email service designed for the needs of individuals who are grieving, mediums and their clients, and professionals in any field where there is contact with the bereaved. She will answer your questions about the grief process, and offer suggestions for how to deal with what you (or your client, student, friend, patient, family member, religious congregation member, etc.) are experiencing. She will also suggest specific techniques and activities that have been proven to be helpful for others at that point in the grief process.

Each email will contain as much detailed information and guidance as possible, so please make your request as specific and detailed as possible.
