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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
Dealing with loss and grief involves allowing yourself to experience and accept your feelings, seeking support from loved ones or a therapist, taking care of your physical and emotional well-being, finding healthy outlets for expressing your emotions, being patient with yourself as you heal, remembering and honoring your loved one, and seeking professional help if needed. It's important to acknowledge your grief, lean on others for support, take care of yourself, express your emotions, be patient with your healing process, remember your loved one, and seek professional guidance if necessary.

Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Grief is deeply personal and doesn’t follow a set timeline. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a pet, a relationship, or a version of your life, the pain can feel overwhelming and isolating. Therapy offers a supportive space to process your grief, honor your experience, and begin to carry it in a way that feels more manageable.

Grief
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.

Grief
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Grief can be disorienting—like you’ve suddenly found yourself in a place you no longer recognize. Maybe you lost someone irreplaceable, or perhaps you’re mourning dreams, relationships, or pieces of your identity. Whatever your loss, Dr. Jenny Shields creates a compassionate space to help driven professionals explore their grief openly, without judgment or pressure to “move on.” Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential perspectives, and mindfulness-based approaches, Dr. Shields gently guides you toward making sense of what feels senseless, honoring what you’ve lost, and reconnecting to what still matters deeply in your life.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I walk alongside individuals facing the heartbreak of loss—whether it’s a death, the end of a relationship, a life transition, or a future you thought you’d have. In a gentle, steady space, we tend to the parts of you that feel shattered, numb, guilty, or overwhelmed, and we allow grief to move at its own pace, you can slowly integrate your loss, stay connected to what (or who) you love, and begin to feel moments of meaning and aliveness again. You can slowly integrate your loss, stay connected to what (or who) you love, and begin to feel moments of meaning and aliveness again.

Grief
Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
There is no one right way to grieve a loss. We often associate grief with losing a loved one but it can occur with other significant life changes such as the end of a relationship, loss of a pet, job loss, changes in your family dynamic, or other significant life changes. I have worked with many clients experiencing grief and they often share with me that they feel alone and misunderstood by others. As human beings, we often struggle to know how to respond to someone who is grieving. As a result, people who are grieving may feel isolated or try to put on a brave face so that they do not feel like a burden to others. In therapy, you can come exactly as you are and you don't have to put on a brave face. In our work together, you will have the space to process your thoughts and feelings associated with your grief. An important goal is to help you find ways to honor the loss while still allowing room for new experiences and meaningful connections in your life.

Grief
Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
There is a deeper understanding of the value of life, when humans have had the bitter of loss. As a counselor I have assisted with thousands of such situations. However as a child and teen, I saw it as my calling to help the adults in my life manage grief. Such pain and challenge were my first therapy interventions. I was deeply shocked to find that my four years of graduate counseling training had absolutely zero information about grief and loss. Now as a seasoned clinician, understanding there is a marked difference between grief and depression, I feel it is a special privilege to be able to help people through grief.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
Loss and Grief is not like anything you have experienced before. Grief is a process and not one that you can control but rather go through it. The stronger the love the deeper the grief. I have additional training in grief counseling and can help you to navigate through your pain. Loss can include but is not limited to death, divorce, job, move, incarceration, finance, and career. People can experience loss when children go from house to house during a divorce, teens going off to college, and young adults moving out on their own. Grief can be experienced alongside medical issues of loved ones or self, military issues, and more. If you or someone you know is dealing with loss and grief, I can help.

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.

Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
Grief and loss are often confusing and difficult to work through. I come alongside you in your grief and help soothe the pain of the emptiness that is often so painful. When we walk into the darkness of the sunset, the sunrise comes much more quickly than when we walk away in an attempt to avoid it.

Natalie A Shafer
