Loss or Grief
Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
There is really no way to fully prepare for death; less so when loss is sudden and unexpected. Many people feel a range of emotions - and those emotions may change over time or even moment by moment: shock, confusion, anger, denial, relief, emptiness, deep sadness, loneliness, isolation, fatigue, just to name a few. Sometimes loss is missing someone dear to us, and sometimes loss is more complicated. There is no correct way to grieve. But we can look at the ways in which our own minds can increase our suffering so that we can learn to be with grief and loss in a way that allows fully honoring our experiences, as well as taking steps forward in your life in a way that is in line with your chosen values. I offer a safe place where is OK to feel your feelings, however messy or confusing. I also will be on your journey to help you find rituals for honoring your loss that are special to you and your unique relationship with who you have lost.

Charles R. Davenport, Psy.D., LLC.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
No one teaches us how to grieve or process loss. Yet it is a requirement of life. We have struggled with loss for a long time as humans and we will likely continue to feel the pain of loss. Learning how to best help you thought it is frequently the goal of therapy for loss or grief.

Loss or Grief
Melanie Bettes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, Coach
Losing someone or something important in our lives is so difficult to move through when we hear people say platitudes like 'they're in a better place'. True or not, it can feel dismissive of our own emotions. Others are so uncomfortable with OUR grief that they do everything they can to keep us from crying. Again, dismissing our feelings. Grief is a journey. There's no way around it, only through. I would love to hear about your loved one and what made them special to you. (Pets included!) Together, we'll come up with ways to honor the memory and time you had together.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief can envelop you in a shadow, making the world seem dim and distant as you navigate the aftermath of loss. The journey through sorrow is deeply personal, marked by moments of unbearable loneliness and memories that both comfort and wound. My dedicated support for grief and loss offers a guiding light through the darkness, providing a compassionate space to heal, remember, and gradually find your way forward.

Loss or Grief
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I offer grief counseling for those who have endured a recent loss, as well as those struggling to come to terms with a loss from the more distant past. I specialize in issues related to complicated grief (aka prolonged grief), as well as losing someone to suicide. Often the clients I see tell me that they can't see their lives as possessing any purpose or meaning in the wake of their loss. Nor do they feel right about looking toward the future or trying to move forward, as they feel that this dishonors the memory of the deceased. Sometimes feelings of guilt or regret linger after loss, too. I help those grieving work through these types of issues and increase their level of connection with loved ones and friends.
