Loss or Grief
Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief is a normal human response to loss. The stages of grief include shock and denial, guilt, bargaining, anger, and depression before finally finding acceptance and hope. Many people who experience grief feel as though they "should be over it by now" and wonder when it will end. Typical grief can last a year to 18 months with periodic "flare ups" in the coming years. Together we can create a plan to cope with the symptoms you are experiencing and develop a path to healing.

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.

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
The death of a loved one is hardly ever simple - it stirs strong, complicated, and upsetting feelings within us. This is particularly true when we lose someone close to us - a partner, parent, child - or someone with whom we had a complicated relationship. I believe the key to successful grieving is allowing ourselves to feel, identify, and make sense of all our feelings around the loss, especially feelings we’re reluctant to accept.
Having worked previously as a palliative care psychologist within a hospital setting, I have accompanied many families and caregivers before, during, and after their loved one’s death. I am familiar with helping others navigate the often uncomfortable psychic terrain of grief. I work well with those looking to explore their grief and find relief through expressing their feelings and making meaning of their loved one’s death.
