WELCOME

My name is Dr. Tristan Barsky and I am a licensed psychologist. My main area of focus is helping people grow through managing, working through, and making meaning of experiences of loss, grief, and bereavement. Feelings of loss can arise in many areas of our lives—in our relationships (separation from a partner, death of a loved one), our bodies (injury, illness), our work lives (dismissal from work, retirement), our families (change in health of family member, child leaving home), and through changes in our living conditions or lifestyles (moving to another home or city, beginning or ending school).

These kinds of experiences have the power to make us feel a sense of loss of trust, loss of approval, loss of safety, and loss of control. Those of us living through them often feel led into a new, strange, and disturbing lands, where our familiar coping strategies fail to give us the relief we need.

I will help you navigate these lands, to ultimately grow through managing, working through, and making meaning of experiences of loss, grief, and bereavement. This support will guide you to turn towards your experience with curiosity and compassion, and it provides an opportunity to come out on the other side stronger and more resilient.
