Ready to stop suffering alone with infertility or reproductive loss?
Meet Edward Luersman, Catholic Infertility & Reproductive Loss Therapist Online Across Ohio & Florida
You remember a time when devastation, isolation, and fear weren’t your “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the support and tools to change that?
You’ve come to the right place.
Hi, I’m Edward!
My wife Kate and I started Blessed Are They Grief Counseling LLC to help individuals and couples just like you who are struggling with heartbreaking roadblocks to the family of their dreams, including infertility, pregnancy loss, infant loss, or being single not by choice. I’m here to help you because I know you have it within you to find joy and peace again but just need the support to get there.
I help my clients find relief and fulfillment by giving them the support and tools they need to better cope with sorrow and to restore joy and hope in their lives, no matter what the future has in store.
How I can help.
Many people don’t know what it’s like navigating challenges with building and growing a family and don’t do well with offering support. This is true in many places, even in the Church, leading many to feel invisible, misunderstood, dismissed, or judged. Not only that, but many therapists also either don’t have experience with these issues or are booked out and unable to be very present or responsive when we reach out for help.
I know that your circumstances are unique, so I will work hard to learn about your specific situation to offer a high quality and responsive therapy experience tailored to you and your situation with your specific goals in mind.
What does the process look like?
First, we explore your unique journey with infertility, pregnancy loss, infant loss, or being single that is causing you to feel overwhelmed, afraid, and alone. Together, we create comforting space to express yourself and feel seen and understood in your pain. Then, we work on the healthy coping skills, relationship changes, and spiritual exercises that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll be equipped with the support and guidance you need to recover peace and fulfillment in your life and not just survive your suffering.
I am dedicated to helping people rediscover relief, hope, and peace.
My specialized training in therapy for grief, infertility, pregnancy and infant loss, and couples means I have the expertise you need and deserve when seeking relief from your suffering. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a Catholic struggling with a devastating roadblock to building and growing a family, right?
I get it because Kate and I are faithful Catholics who have personally experienced the pain of years of infertility and childlessness, several pregnancy losses, and longing for parenthood, and I have deep passion for supporting Catholic singles who similarly long for and grieve marriage and parenthood. I have devoted my career to supporting people through infertility, reproductive loss, and being single not by choice, and I know that sometimes you feel hopeless, isolated, and afraid that you’ll never have the family you hoped for.
So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained Catholic therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
