Loss or Grief therapists in Branson, Missouri MO
Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
When someone you loved dies, it can feel devastating, shocking, tremendously sad, or for some, it might even be a relief. People often have a wide range of feelings related to losing someone they love, including anger, denial, guilt, sadness, depression, emptiness, loneliness, and acceptance. If the person suffered a long time before they passed, their loved ones might also feel gratitude that the person is no longer in pain. Grief can impact your ability to take care of yourself and others—it can affect your sleep, your appetite, your memory, your concentration, your energy level, your motivation, etc.

Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Distress from loss and grief are often mistaken for depression. While they share some common signs, treatment for grief and loss require distinctly different approaches from treatment for depression. Dr. Randa models therapy for grief and loss on a four task program: 1) accepting that the loss has occurred and the reality of the loss, 2) Processing the pain by allowing oneself to feel the loss, 3) Adjusting to life now, externally, internally, and spiritually, and 4) Creating a lasting connection with the lost in the midst of moving on with life. The tasks are not necessarily achieved in any order, but all are necessary for most effective recovery.

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.
