Consultation, Comfort and Support Counseling Services to Assist with support and End-of-Life Decisions

 

Many years of service as a clinical psychologist and volunteer on numerous palliative care and other health committees and support groups. Dr Porto is a member on the board of the RI Funeral Consumers Alliance which assists the public in learning their rights and choices available for their end of life disposition. Dr Porto is skilled in assisting individuals and families with decisions and services to navigate before, during and after death occurs.  She is also an advocate in the “Green Burial” field.

 

What is Green Burial

The greenburialcouncil.org is an excellent website to learn about the different classifications of green burials. They advocate for green services and products that minimize the environmental impact of traditional burial services. While judgement is not passed on anyone for making more conventional burial or cremation choices, educating clients who wish to explore various options such as home vs funeral home vigils, burial without embalming fluids, and burial or cremation biodegradable urns or shrouds and other choices may be discussed as part of the transitioning process if the client wishes.  All faiths and cultural end of life choices are respected.

Costs for services vary depending upon the time commitment and degree of involvement requested. An initial consultation of one hour is free of charge and may be done in person or via Skype by appointment. Services may be partial from a few hours to several days of assistance in supporting compassionately and working very closely with the individual, family members, ministers, funeral directors and others.
