Loss or Grief
Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Loss or grief counseling provides a compassionate and supportive path for those experiencing the profound emotional pain that accompanies the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a pet, or any significant life change. Grief is a deeply individual experience, and our counseling services honor the unique way each person processes loss. We are here to accompany our clients on their journey through grief, toward healing and finding new meaning in life after loss.
Navigating the Path Through Grief
* Personalized Support: We understand that each person's experience with loss is unique, and we tailor our support to meet individual needs and circumstances.
* Stages of Grief Awareness: We help clients understand the stages of grief and identify where they are in their own process, acknowledging that these stages are non-linear and personal.
* Expressive Therapies: We encourage the expression of grief through therapeutic means such as art, writing, and other creative channels that facilitate coping and healing.
* Coping Strategies: Clients gain tools to manage the intensity of their grief, learn to adjust to life without their loved one, and embrace self-care.
* Group Support: When appropriate, we offer group therapy sessions, providing a community of understanding and shared experiences that can alleviate feelings of isolation.

Loss or Grief
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Grief is so different for everyone. There is no "right" way to grieve. I'll hold space for you to process your loss and validate what YOU are feeling and going through. When the time comes to think about moving forward, I can help you explore what makes sense to you. I won't judge your thoughts, or work to make you feel better by pushing you to speed grief along. No, I'll respect your journey and provide you the support you need.

Gina Niewodowski
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A., LPC, ATR-BC (Master of Arts, Licensed Professional Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist)
When we think of loss and grief, death typically comes to mind. If you have experienced the death of someone close to you, it can help to have someone help you navigate the process of grief. Loss also can happen when someone loses a job, gets divorced or even becomes alienated from people previously close to them. We work together to help you cope through your experience of loss.

Loss or Grief
Christine Henry
Psychologist, Ph.D
Grief is the one emotion that even emotionally 'tough' people can't push down. Therapy can help you process your grief so you no longer have to carry it alone. We can explore the relationship you had with the person who died, including both the positive and negative aspects. We will attempt to make sense of the death so you can let go of all the 'what ifs.' We can find a way to help you move forward instead of feeling like time has stopped.

Loss or Grief
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Loss and grief is a greater concern with the pandemic response limiting the way people used to grieve - together, not alone, and sometimes with the person prior to their passing. Grief work is a place to explore your feelings, the things that weren't said, the regrets that remain, to help move through the grief process.
