The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals in the United States.
At Free 2 Grieve, we believe there is no one
right way to grieve the death of a loved one.
That is why we strive to offer multiple options of grief support to choose from. Some people may just need a good cup of coffee and a listening ear. At other times we may need a safe group of peers walking a similar grief journey. Then there may be times we need a bit more intense care from a train bereavement therapist.

These sessions may be covered by insurance, a very generous sliding scale, or you my qualify for free grief counseling through a Community Grief Support grant.

Belinda is a Licensed Professional Counselor that resides to Tuscaloosa, Al. She earned her M.Ed. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Montevallo in Aug. 2016. She received her Certification of Thanatology from the Association for Death Education and Counseling the following year and in December of 2021, Belinda completed her Grief Counseling Studies through the Center for Loss & Life Transition with Dr. Alan Wolfelt in Fort Collins, Co.
Due to what she calls her "Forced Sabbath of 2020", Belinda took some time off from traditional mental health counseling to focus on her grief education studies, take a few cross-country motorcycle trips, and meet some of the most amazing people that helped her learn to heal and rest. She also became a published author and released her 1st grief support journal titled "Becoming a Mindful Mourner".
In 2023 Belinda tip-toed back into the Counseling field to finish her LPC. She spends her time facilitating grief groups in her local community, caring for grievers 1/1 as a grief counselor, and shares her passion for grief education through online and in person training. She is a national certified QPR suicide prevention trainer and provides Mental Health First Aid training, both in person and online, to people all over the country.
If Belinda is not spending time with her family or companioning someone through their grief journey, you can find her riding her big green Harley to visit Bucee's all over the country or coaching a motorcycle safety class at her local Harley Davidson dealership.
