Grief
Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Grief is a natural response to loss—but it can feel overwhelming, disorienting, or isolating. Whether you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a life transition, or a version of yourself, therapy offers a space to process at your own rhythm. We honor grief as something to move with, not rush through. I can support you in finding meaning, integration, and a continued sense of connection.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
The waves of grief crash in unexpected ways at unexpected times with unexpected outcomes. Within my Holistic Life Coaching practice and through my own personal experience, I have cultivated tools, methods, and experiments that approach grief and loss through the lens of curiosity, expansiveness, and nonjudgment. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. Coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work; our work is therapeutic without being therapy. Without stagnating in your grief, together we can discover what your grief means to you, what it is bringing to your life, and how we can use it to manifest the life you desire. From where you are sitting right now that may sound like a difficult, if not impossible task. My mother always said "nothing beats failure but a try." I invite you to try coaching to discover what happens when you allow yourself to speak your truth and feel however and whatever you are feeling in a safe, nonjudgmental space dedicated to you and your growth.

Grief
Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Grief does not follow a timeline and there is no right way to feel. Sometimes what gets stuck is not the grief itself but a belief that formed inside the loss, things like guilt, the sense that we should have done more or the fear that to move forward is to leave the person behind. RTT works gently with these specific subconscious meanings, not to bypass the grieving but to free what has become frozen alongside it. I do not replace bereavement support or counselling. I work with people who have already been grieving for a while and feel that something underneath is keeping them stuck.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it doesn't always look the way people expect it to. The loss of a person, a relationship, a version of yourself, a future you expected to have — all of it deserves space. I work with clients navigating grief that is fresh and grief that has been carried for years without a proper place to put it down. Therapy doesn't rush grief or resolve it. It gives you room to be honest about what you've lost and what you're learning to carry differently.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people carrying life altering grief. Grief does not only follow death. It can arise after a medical crisis, a rupture in family relationships, a change in roles, the loss of health or a sense of safety, or a slow, quiet shift you cannot quite name. Many people I see are living with grief that others do not fully recognize. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling heavy, numb, angry, or alone on the inside. You might notice a sense of “before and after” in your life, feel confused that you are still affected this much, or wonder how it is possible to move forward.
Grief can be especially painful when the people around you do not really see it, or when there is no clear ritual or role for what you have lost. You might feel like there is no obvious place for your story to go, and no one you can talk to without having to minimize, explain, or protect them from the depth of what you feel.
In our work together, we make room for your grief at the pace your body and heart can handle. We explore what this loss has touched in your identity, relationships, and daily life, and we stay curious about the forms your grief wants to take: tears, anger, quiet, questions, or even moments of relief. Our work is not about getting over what happened, but about finding ways to live with it that feel more honest, supported, and bearable, especially when the depth of your experience is not obvious to the outside world.

Grief
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Grief can deeply impact the emotional connection between partners as no one grieves the same way at the same time. This often brings changes in communication, intimacy, coping styles, and daily functioning. Gottman Method couples therapy offers a guided space for couples to navigate loss together while honoring that each person experiences grief differently. Whether grieving the loss of a loved one, a life transition, unmet expectations, or another significant change, therapy helps couples strengthen emotional understanding, increase support, and reduce feelings of isolation within the relationship. Alongside processing grief, couples can also explore opportunities for healing, resilience, and growth—learning how to reconnect, communicate with greater empathy, and move forward together in meaningful ways.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed grief and loss counseling for individuals experiencing the emotional impact of bereavement, complicated grief, life transitions, or the loss of a loved one, relationship, role, or meaningful life circumstance. Grief can affect emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, sleep, concentration, and overall functioning, often bringing waves of sadness, numbness, anxiety, anger, guilt, or emotional overwhelm.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to grief counseling, helping clients process loss in a safe and supportive environment at their own pace. Therapy provides space to explore the emotional pain of grief, honor the significance of what has been lost, and work through the complex emotions that often accompany mourning and adjustment.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing from both grief and any underlying trauma that may be activated by loss. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional balance, reducing distress, and helping clients gradually rebuild meaning, stability, and connection in their lives.
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no single “right way” to heal. Brad’s approach is individualized, supportive, and non-judgmental, allowing clients to process loss in a way that respects their unique emotional needs, beliefs, and circumstances. Together, you will work toward understanding the impact of loss, integrating it into your life story, and finding ways to move forward without disconnecting from what mattered.
The goal of therapy is not to “get over” grief, but to help clients adapt, heal, and carry their loss in a way that allows for continued meaning, connection, and emotional well-being.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move through grief while rebuilding hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose and emotional balance.

Daniel Johnson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC, NCC
When we are experiencing loss, are we not literally “at a loss?” Having a guide that normalizes the uncomfortable feelings we are going through can be extremely helpful. I support clients in processing the rapid reorganizing of priorities and sense of meaninglessness that often accompanies loss; we face the existential crisis of our human condition together.

Grief
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Loss and grief can feel like a weight you carry every day, even when the world expects you to move on. Maybe you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or even a sense of who you used to be, and no matter how much time has passed, the pain still lingers. You might feel waves of sadness that come out of nowhere, guilt over what you didn’t say or do, or even numbness—like a part of you shut down just to survive. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and it doesn’t always look like tears—sometimes, it’s exhaustion, irritability, or feeling disconnected from life. If you find yourself stuck in sadness, struggling to move forward, or avoiding the pain altogether, your brain may be holding onto loss in a way that keeps you trapped in emotional pain.
But grief doesn’t have to stay this heavy forever. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help clients process loss in a way that honors their emotions without keeping them stuck in suffering. ART allows your brain to release painful memories, soften the emotional intensity, and create space for healing—without forcing you to relive the pain over and over. It’s not about forgetting or moving on; it’s about finding a way to carry your loss differently, so it no longer defines your daily life. Therapy helps you hold onto love and connection while letting go of the pain that keeps you from fully living. You don’t have to carry this alone—healing is possible, and you deserve peace.
