As a therapist at the Children's Bereavement Center, Emily M. Price helps young people and their families navigate grief.
Emily Price, a licensed professional counselor, sets up some toys in the sand tray room at the Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas.Like so many others in the mental health field, I have always had a passion for helping others. Growing up, I wanted to follow in my mom’s footsteps and become a teacher. However, once I learned about counseling, I decided to pursue a career as a therapist.Success! You're on the list.
While working on my master’s degree, I was introduced to the Children’s Bereavement Center during my internship semester as a volunteer facilitator for the support groups hosted for families impacted by a suicide death. In support groups, family members are divided into smaller groups based on age. I was partnered with the 6- to 8-year-olds.
As a licensed professional counselor, I meet with individual clients, supervise student interns and assist families with the process of beginning services. Although it can be hard sitting with clients while they grieve the death of someone close to them, there is also so much joy that comes from allowing clients to express their grief through art, play, sand tray therapy or more. Children don’t always have words for the hard emotions they feel.
Grief camps offer clients a chance to continue processing their grief in a group setting, still utilizing the expressive art components our Center traditionally offers. In addition to this therapeutic grief work, campers also get a chance to have a break from their direct grief work by playing and participating in some fun camp activities, such as archery, horseback riding and swimming.
