Meet the Founder
Lielle specializes in guiding individuals through the full spectrum of loss—from anticipatory grief to sudden, catastrophic loss—and all the complex challenges that follow. Her practice encompasses the loss of family and friends, expected & unexpected cognitive and physical decline, spousal or parental loss, infant and child loss, pregnancy loss and fertility challenges, being childless not by choice, and guiding parents as they support their children through loss.
While not a practicing attorney, Lielle holds a Juris Doctorate from Brooklyn Law School, enabling her to bring analytical clarity and nuanced advocacy to complex family dynamics. She earned her Master of Social Work at Boston University, integrating strengths-based, CBT-informed approaches alongside advanced training in Bowenian Family Systems to process complex traumatic loss.
Lielle’s clinical foundation includes specialized work at the Martin De Porres School for Exceptional Children and the New England Fertility Institute, as well as serving as Director of Programming at I Was Supposed To Have A Baby. She later earned her LCSW at Schoke Jewish Family Service, refining her focus on Loss & Family Support originally cultivated during law school.
Founded on absolute presence and discretion, Sit With Us delivers customizable, high-touch clinical care without compromise. By pairing evidence-based modalities with Jewish tradition’s rich framework for navigating grief, Lielle provides thoughtful, structured support through distinct care tiers tailored to your family.
We invite you to reach out for a complimentary private consultation to explore how Lielle can support your family.

I believe in the accessibility of high-end, confidential, evidence-based care.


What our care model means to me.
When I ran monthly groups at IWSTHAB, the emails always poured in -
Poetry. Pictures. Journal Entries.
When I started Sit With Us, I wondered how to incorporate this into my practice.
I thought about my roots.
Shiva. Sheloshim. Kaddish. Yizkor. Yahrzeit.
Judaism has long understood that grief calls for Immersive, accessible support.
Our model is rooted in this timeless tradition.
