As a Certified Pastoral Thanatologist and Crisis Intervention Counselor, he blends the science of suffering and the scripture of survival. His practice integrates neuroscience, narrative therapy, and spiritual care.

Dr. Kasmir holds a PhD in Thanatology. But his most formative credentials come from the crucible of personal loss. Walking alongside his parents through dementia’s cruel terrain, he learned what no textbook could teach: how to hold space, how to speak silence, how to sit at the altar of anguish.

Through his writings, workshops, and clinical mentoring, Dr. Kasmir equips caregivers, clergy, and clinicians to become sacred first responders in a world wounded by death and despair.

His mission is simple yet profound: to ensure that no elder is forgotten, no caregiver is unsupported, and no griever walks alone.
