Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Grief and loss, in all their forms, are among the hardest experiences we face as humans. They can bring up complex emotions and shake parts of your identity, relationships, and life that once felt secure. I provide a safe, supportive space to process everything you’re feeling, including the uncomfortable and darker emotions that can be hard to share. Together, we’ll honor what has been lost, make room for what’s true, and find ways to create meaning as you move forward and learn how to carry this with you.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, no matter what people expect from you. It comes in waves. Some days you're functioning and some days it hits you in the grocery store and you can't explain why. The world keeps moving and you're supposed to move with it, but part of you is still back there, with them, with what you lost. We don't try to rush grief or fix it. We sit with you in it. We help you find ways to carry the loss without being crushed by it, to honor what mattered while slowly rebuilding a life that has room for joy again. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.” ― David Kessler, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief
I align with this quote. Grief and loss come in many forms and ultimately in death. My heart for grief work is being present and holding space to let you experience the full measure of your grief while staying anchored in the here and now. You will drown and then realize you are the ocean.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you experiencing the loss of someone or a relationship near you? Are you experiencing anger, sadness, or pain? Maybe you are asking yourself how or why this happened. Or you may even be experiencing guilt or regret. The five stages of loss & grief often repeats in cycles for a long time after the loss occurred, but rarely people actively do something about it, and more often due to believing that there is nothing they could do but give it time. Without proper processing and healing of the grief, time can only do so much. I have extensive experiences helping clients processing their grief & loss, which has often decreased their recovering process time tremendously.

Ostara Psychotherapy Associates PLLC

Grief and loss are central aspects of being alive including losses as we age, in our relationships with loved ones and life transitions as well as physical function due to medical diagnoses and life events. I am trained in a number of approaches that are proven effective for supporting you through what can be a tremendously confusing and painful process. Post-grief loss is real but so too is post-grief growth though it may seem impossible to fathom at this time. I bring you both lived experience and professional skill tested nearly 20 years.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I believe that the most important thing to bear in mind when it comes to grief is that everyone grieves in their own way at their own pace. I have often helped clients work through self-judgement around things like being angry at a loved one who died or being relieved that they have passed. The Kübler-Ross stages of grief do include anger, but oftentimes, this is the hardest emotion to accept. Sometimes people also hear about the stages of grief and expect to experience one at a time when the reality is that these stages can run concurrently and in different orders. A major component of the grief work I do is helping people get to the point where they can honor and/or find takeaways from their loved one's legacy.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Grief is a profoundly heavy, non-linear journey that can reshape your entire world. Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, navigating the invisible ache of pregnancy loss, or processing the ambiguous grief of a chronic illness diagnosis, Anne provides a warm, open, and deeply honoring space for you to carry your pain. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Grief Informed Professional, she partners with individuals to safely explore their loss without pressure to "just get over it" or move on before they are ready.
Anne’s integrative approach is uniquely gentle and effective for bereavement care. Because intense grief often defies words, she blends traditional psychotherapy with creative art therapy techniques and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). These somatic and creative tools offer a safe outlet to externalize complex emotions—like anger, guilt, and profound sadness—while helping to calm a traumatized nervous system. Anne is dedicated to helping you honor your loss, build sustainable coping strategies for the triggers of daily life, and gently find a way forward at your own pace.
