About Us
My name is Dr. Sonya Strider
In 2015, the unimaginable happened....
My mother passed away from a very routine procedure. I was devastated and heartbroken. Nine months later my father passed away suddenly, and grief took over.
Trying to find a way to deal with my own grief, I discovered the Grief Recovery Method®, and became a certified Grief Recovery Specialist in 2021.
A Place 4 The Heart was born from my own healing journey, and we are committed to providing a safe and compassionate environment for your healing journey.
Utilizing the Grief Recovery Method®, we offer individual and group sessions to heal your heart from life's hurts and disappointments. Our staff is dedicated to helping you navigate the complex emotions of grief and find your way to healing.
You can trust us with your heart!

After my divorce I was broken, angry, and afraid. From the moment I met Dr. Strider, I felt at ease. Her quick whit, compassionate demeanor, and listening ear helped me to work through all of the emotions and feelings of loss related to the divorce and discover and accept other losses in my life.
