Tatrina Bailey-Josephs is a Licensed Professional Counselor, who specializes in helping children, adults, and families find healthy perceptions of themselves and strengthen their relationships so they can know themselves as peaceful, complete, whole, and safe. Tatrina has 14 years of experience in the mental health field, working as a counselor, coach, and administrator in trauma-informed care for individuals experiencing trauma, behavioral, and emotional issues.
Tatrina completed her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) in Criminal Justice at Walden University and her Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling at Prairie View A&M University. She realizes how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their wellbeing, including their physical health, support systems (family, friends, etc.), work or school environment, and faith/spirituality. Tatrina is concerned with the impact of loss and trauma and improving interventions to support trauma recovery for better emotional, physical, and relationship health.
Tatrina’s goal as a counselor is to provide a safe environment where you can explore your primary interests, develop goals, and determine strengths and assets as you move toward your aspirations. She believes in working in partnership to utilize your strengths to help you sort out your challenges and achieve your goals. Tatrina knows that no single approach is the right one for every individual, and so she uses a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gestalt therapy, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and psychodrama to individuals aged 13 and up. Tatrina’s hope is to help individuals who have the motivation to improve and the courage to seek growth through vulnerability and hard work.

Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Round Rock, TX have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Round Rock, TX will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
Grief counseling is a form of psychotherapy for people who are grieving – it helps them cope with mental, emotional, and even physical responses to difficult losses. Grief therapists can support those who have lost a loved one or experienced another significant loss such as the loss of a job.
If grief counseling sounds like something you could benefit from, consider scheduling a session. Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Round Rock has grief counselors who will support you throughout your unique grieving process and provide you with healthy coping tools for your unique symptoms of grief. You can schedule an online or in-person grief counseling session with us today.
Grief and loss therapy can benefit anyone who has undergone a tough loss, which is, unfortunately, a universal experience. If you’ve experienced any of the following, you can find help and support in grief counseling:
In addition to experiencing a difficult loss, here are a few signs that you might need grief therapy:
Grief after loss can look different from one person to the next – some people feel frozen in time. They can’t think about anything but the loved one or thing lost. They might even feel like their life is over or might as well be over. If this describes you, consider talking to a professional. They can help you process your grief and begin to move on with your life.
If your grief is negatively affecting your work (i.e., you can’t focus and you aren’t meeting your deadlines, as a result) or your personal relationships (i.e., you keep canceling on your friends because you have no desire to leave the house), it’s wise to start grief counseling. A grief counselor can offer coping tools that will enable you to better process your loss and show up in the important areas of your life.
Grief can turn into depression. If you experience symptoms of depression — like loss of interest in your hobbies, feelings of guilt, difficulty sleeping, and low self-esteem — it’s important to talk to a professional. They can help you manage these thoughts/feelings and offer the support you need to process your loss in a healthy way. In addition, if you do develop a depressive disorder, they can treat your depression or refer you to another counselor who can offer treatment for your depression.
Grief counseling helps individuals work through their specific response to loss. Whether you’re feeling extremely sad, experiencing anger, struggling with guilt, or feeling numb, a grief counselor can offer the guidance and support you need to come to terms with your loss and move forward with your life. There are common topics covered in grief therapy sessions for those who have lost a loved one, accompanied by common grief therapy techniques:
