Warning: this episode contain discussions of death, dying, and grief.

Therapy Tea Podcast is still taking a BREAK! That’s right y’all, we’re practicing what we preach and taking a much needed self-care break. Don’t worry though, we’ve got some great oldie but goodies to re-release for y’all in the meantime.

This week we are sharing Part 1 of our conversation with Summer Sahd. She’s a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas who holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Texas at Tyler and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Texas State University - San Marcos. At the time of this recording, Summer worked as a grief counselor and the Children’s Grief Program Coordinator at a non-profit grief center in New Braunfels.

Summer is now in private practice for herself and she serves all of Texas virtually. Connect with her and check out her website at: https://www.summersahdcounseling.com/

In our conversation with Summer we talk a lot about grief and grief counseling work, which is something that all three of us have a passion for. The depth, humility, and universality in this conversation is unmatched in our interviews so far. We promise that this conversation is the opposite of a downer! Summer is so authentic, kind, and hardworking that you will be unable to stop yourself from listening all the way through as we explore what it’s really like to work with grief day-in and day-out. Don’t be afraid; listen in, because man, oh, man is this one a good one.
