Meghan Riordan Jarvis, MA, LCSW

Meghan Riordan Jarvis is a trauma therapist, grief educator and the founder of The Grief Mentor Method, a framework that helps individuals and organizations navigate loss and change with clarity, compassion and embodied resilience.

Her work is deeply personal. As a child, Meghan experienced a community tragedy that shaped her lifelong commitment to understanding grief. Decades later, the deaths of both of her parents — her father after a yearlong illness, and her mother unexpectedly two years afterward — propelled her into an even more intimate relationship with loss.

Drawing on that experience and her professional expertise as a therapist, Meghan created The Grief Mentor Method to help people name and understand the many forms of loss and learn to regulate their bodies and systems in the face of profound change. Her method has guided C-suite leaders, educators, clinicians and communities toward building grief literacy and collective resilience.
