Host Rita Schulte
I am a licensed professional board-certified counselor. I received my B.S. in psychology and a master’s degree in counseling from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. I am currently offering counseling services in my home office in Fairfax, VA; I specialize in treating grief, loss, trauma, anxiety and depressive disorders, and eating disorders. I am also a certified grief counselor. I am no stranger to loss and suffering. In 2013, I lost my beloved husband to suicide, and my world was decimated. I speak candidly about my loss(es) in the hope of helping others to heal. See books here: Shattered, Imposter, Think This Not That, Surviving Suicide Loss: Making Your Way Beyond The Ruins.
