In our work together, I provide a compassionate space to process emotions without judgment, make meaning of your experience, and move at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to help you feel supported as you carry your grief, while also gently reconnecting with moments of grounding, healing, and hope over time.

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.

Along the Path Counseling Services, P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor
Grief comes in and out of our lives, in different shapes and forms, often more than we would like in life. During grief, you can feel isolated in a whirlwind of emotions. It can be hard to know how to navigate our feelings amid such immense change. The clinician’s role, in addition to offering techniques, which will help alleviate distressing symptoms and move toward coping and healing, is to validate and be present with the griever’s inner and outer experiences and the multi-dimensional levels (somatic, psychic, and spiritual) of pain and distress.

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.

Grief
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.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
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.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked with individuals (primarily adults) to help them manage aspects of loss and grief (neither of which is limited to death of a loved one) that are significantly impacting their functioning and well-being. I work with them to process their loss, and identify what it means to embrace the significance of the loss without letting that loss define them.
