Grief is a deeply personal and often overwhelming experience that follows the loss of a loved one or significant life change. It can affect every aspect of your life, leaving you feeling isolated, confused, and unsure of how to move forward. However, grief is not something you have to face alone. Through compassionate support, you can navigate the complex emotions of loss, honor your unique journey, and find ways to heal. Whether you're seeking to understand your grief, cope with its challenges, or rediscover a sense of hope, professional guidance can help you process your feelings and rebuild your life with meaning and resilience.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief has no rulebook. It doesn’t follow a straight line or a set timeline, and it can come in waves—some small, some that knock you off your feet. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, a part of your identity, or a future you had envisioned, the weight of loss can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re struggling with sadness, guilt, or even numbness. Perhaps you feel pressure to “move on” when, deep down, you’re still trying to make sense of what life looks like without what you’ve lost.
Grief is not about getting over it—it’s about learning how to carry it in a way that allows you to keep moving forward. Together, we will create space for your emotions without judgment, honor what you’ve lost, and help you find a way to integrate this experience into your life. You don’t have to go through this alone. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding a way to hold both the pain of loss and the possibility of hope.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I guide clients through loss and grief with a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that honors the unseen currents of human experience. Drawing on my training and experience as a thanatologist, and the wisdom of ancient earth-based grieving traditions often lost in Western culture, I integrate ritual, ceremony, and embodied practices to help grief move through the body and psyche. Together, we explore the layers of emotion, memory, and meaning, as well as science based information on what happens to the body as we grieve in order to create a better understanding of our grieving process, as well creating a sacred space for healing, transformation, and a renewed connection to life beyond loss.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Many of my clients have come to me to get over the loss of someone whether through breakup, divorce, or death. Even when loss isn't the primary reason for them seeking my help, it is often something impacting the issue at hand. In all cases I have been able to help my clients let go and move forward. In hypnosis, we can have people speak with someone who has passed on, whether it is to exchange some final goodbyes, get love and support, resolve some old dispute or trauma. I've had several clients who had trouble letting go after a breakup and we have managed to get them to move on. I had one female client who came to me for a variety of issues. She had been through a difficult divorce and Cancer diagnosis while raising 3 young children. Throughout her ordeal, she had received immense support from the priest at her church but he had passed away and she missed him immensely. In hypnosis, we visited his spirit and she was able to feel again his love and support and get his counsel. As another part of her treatment, we were able to converse with her late father who had abandoned the family when she was a child, and release the trauma that he had caused. Whether you believe in spirits or not, the experiences in hypnosis feel absolutely real and are able to bring peace and resolution.

Middle Path Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in helping clients navigate grief and loss in all its forms, including the death of a loved one, relationship loss, life transitions, infertility, or the loss of the life they expected to have. Grief often brings waves of sadness, anger, numbness, confusion, or isolation, and many clients feel pressure to “move on” before they are ready. Our approach honors grief as a deeply personal process without timelines or expectations. We provide a steady, compassionate space where clients can process their loss, make sense of their emotions, and gradually learn how to carry their grief in a way that allows for both remembrance and continued living. Therapy helps clients feel less alone in their pain and supports them in finding meaning, connection, and stability again.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in loss and grief, my treatment approach is grounded in empathy, validation, and support. Through compassionate listening and validation of emotions, I create a safe space for individuals to express their feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion associated with their loss. Utilizing techniques from grief therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I help clients navigate the grieving process, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop coping strategies to manage their emotions. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the stages of grief and normalize the range of emotions experienced during mourning. Collaboration with clients may also involve exploring rituals or activities that honor the memory of the deceased and facilitate healing. My goal is to accompany individuals on their journey through grief, fostering resilience, meaning-making, and eventual adaptation to life without their loved one.

Tracy Hadel
Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Grief is the pain we all experience after a meaningful loss. Sometimes, support from family and friends is not enough to facilitate healthy grieving, especially with the loss of a child. This is where grief therapy and/or support groups with an expert can help one find peace.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief can feel overwhelming, disorienting, or lonely—whether you’re grieving the death of someone you love or the quieter losses that come in midlife and retirement, like children leaving home, changes in identity after retirement, or shifting relationships. I offer a calm, supportive space to make sense of what feels painful and to begin reconnecting with hope, meaning, and steady ground at your own pace. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Having trained and worked in hospice and palliative care, I am versed in the language of loss. It is a unique experience, separate from depression (though it can morph into a depressive episode). We walk together through the steps of honoring and acknowledging the loss, remembering the person, and finding a path to coping amidst your new reality.

Kansas City sits at the Missouri-Kansas border and draws clients from both states, with therapists well-versed in navigating Midwestern values, family expectations, and the tensions between tradition and personal growth. The city has a significant African American population and community-level trauma tied to historical redlining and economic inequality, driving demand for culturally affirming and social-justice-informed practitioners. The University of Kansas Health System and Saint Luke's Health System provide major institutional mental health resources for the region. Kansas City's art and music scene sustains a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs, and therapists familiar with the psychology of creative careers are present.
