Loss or Grief therapists in Overland Park, Kansas KS
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.

Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
Because loss is a regular part of life, so is grieving. Grief is an understandable and natural response to change and transition. Some of the most severe losses include losing a dear partner, your job, family member or good friend. Perhaps the most difficult loss occurs when we lose our hopes and dreams.
<br>I can help you move through your transitions. I can show you how to grieve in a healthy way so that your loss supports and matures you rather than tearing you down.

Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW
Over the past twenty years, since my mother died, I have developed a "Loss and Grief Cycle" chart that incorporates and normalizes the phases most people go through when grieving a major loss (and even a minor one). We have many many losses in our lifetime so it is very important to understand this process in your pursuit of happiness.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief is such a unique and individual experience. Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, loss of a relationship, friend, family member, or job, loss can be a profound experience. Through therapy, you will have a safe space to explore these feelings. There is no right way to grieve and many people have a myriad of feelings that go along with the grief, including anger, guilt, shame, sadness, regret, or relief. We can explore all of these while you learn some coping skills to better manage your loss.
