Grief
John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
To work with those who have lost is an honor. There is no greater pain than the pain of grief. It is a hole which cannot be filled but must still be closed. I work with clients using the Five Stages of Grief which in my belief are far more than the single words on a page. Elizabeth Kubler Ross left behind a body of research which gives us great insight into how we grieve not only the loss of a loved one, rather any loss. These stages apply to loss of a job/career, loss of a home, friendship or a pet. I will gladly work with you and share my experience to help you on your path.
15 Years Experience
Online in San Juan, Puerto Rico (Online Only)
San Juan's mental health landscape has been profoundly shaped by the trauma and destruction of Hurricane Maria in 2017, and therapists here have developed particular expertise in disaster recovery, grief, and community resilience in the years since. The island's ongoing economic instability, high emigration rates, and political uncertainty create chronic stress and a sense of collective precarity that therapists frequently address alongside individual concerns. Puerto Rico's strong cultural emphasis on family and community means therapists who understand Puerto Rican family systems — including the intersection of cultural pride, migration grief, and multigenerational dynamics — are especially valued. The University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus provides institutional mental health training and resources for the island's clinical community.
