Message from Jillian
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at this website, and for taking an interest in my work.
Prairie Griefer was created to offer solace for the difficult and unavoidable life experience of grief and loss.. Through this work, I try to embody Prairie Griefer's values of sincerity and compassion while also being committed to ongoing learning.
If what I have presented here is not what you are looking for, I want to encourage you to continue your search for a therapist. Each and every one of us deserves therapeutic support, but finding a therapist that fits your needs can take time. Should you have questions about resources in the community, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Children's Grief Consult
SSP is a program based on the work of Dr. Stephen Porges. It is a listening program that provides gentle and specific stimulation to activate the neural pathways used in the processing of sensory information. With the use of this listening program, neural connections in these pathways are strengthened and new connections are established through repeated sessions of multisensory input, allowing the nervous system to adapt and find safety in one's environment more easily.
An excellent program for those with anxiety, and/or ADHD.
$20 therapy appointment add-on
