The person behind the practice

Dolly B. Phillips

Marriage & Family Therapist · LMFT, CT · Certified Thanatologist

I'm a grief specialist who offers a warm, non-judgmental partnership to clients living with chronic or life-threatening illness, and to grievers and caregivers alike. With over 16 years of experience, I've walked alongside individuals, families and support groups, working exclusively with adults (18+).

Alongside grief, I work with depression, anxiety, CPTSD and the many stressors of everyday life. As a Certified Thanatologist — a specialist in death and dying — I bring particular care to the conversations many find hardest to have.
