Grief
Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
The old thinking about grief was that there were five finite stages, and that by the end of the year you should be “done” grieving. The fact of the matter is that we are never, ever done grieving. Yes, you will come to a stage , where you are finally feeling happy again. But we will never stop loving the person for the dream that we’ve lost, and thus we will never stop grieving. Just when we least expect it, we will see something that reminds us an of our dearly devoted I'd.d suddenly we will crumple to a puddle of tears. But we will get to the point where memories are happy, and actually comforting. Eventually, after lots of talking, crying, laughing, reminiscing and remembering, we will manage to live and love again. Unfortunately, grief is one of those things that we can’t go above below or around, we just have to go through it. But we don’t have to go through it alone. Allow me to walk this road with you, and it will be at least half as hard. First, we just have to get started.

A loss occurs within any change in our lives. Even a good change equals a loss and it needs to be acknowledged and grieved. This may be a life change or and actual death of someone we love.

Grief
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.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work as a psychologist, I support individuals through the complex and deeply personal journey of loss and grief with empathy and care. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients process their emotions and challenge any unhelpful thought patterns that may arise during their grieving process. I also incorporate techniques from narrative therapy to help individuals make sense of their loss and integrate it into their life story. My approach is warm and supportive, providing a safe space for clients to express their feelings and memories. By working collaboratively with each person, I assist them in finding meaning, adjusting to life changes, and eventually discovering a sense of hope and healing. My goal is to help clients navigate their grief in a way that honors their experiences while supporting their path towards emotional recovery, personal growth and resilience.

Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief and loss are often very misunderstood or not recognized as important enough to seek help for. This couldn't be further from the truth. We not only need to grieve what and whom we have lost, but also what we didn't have/get (especially in childhood).

Loss and Grief: Honoring the Unfinished Narrative
Integrating the Absence, Reclaiming the Self
Grief is not a task to be completed or a set of stages to be "checked off." It is a profound, systemic reorganization of your world. When we lose a loved one, a career, a dream, or a community, our attachment system goes into a state of high alarm. In my practice, I provide a courageous and sturdy space to carry the weight of your loss, helping you move from the initial shock and shut down toward a place of integrated healing.
The Multi-Layered Nature of Loss
Grief often impacts every part of our "system"—biological, psychological, and social. We work together to navigate:
The "Grief Fog": Addressing the cognitive overwhelm, memory lapses, and exhaustion that characterize the early months of loss.
Complicated & Disenfranchised Grief: Validating losses that society may not fully "see"—such as the loss of a pet, a divorce, or the "ambiguous loss" of a loved one still living but changed by illness or addiction.
Spiritual Deconstruction through Loss: Using my Master of Divinity to explore the profound "spiritual disillusionment" that often follows a tragic loss, providing a safe harbor for your anger, doubt, and questions of meaning.
A Systems-Rooted Path to Healing
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate specialized modalities to help you process your grief without being consumed by it:
EMDR for Traumatic Loss: If your loss was sudden, violent, or particularly distressing, we use EMDR to process the "stuck" images and sensations, allowing your nervous system to move out of a permanent state of "survival mode."
Attachment & Continuing Bonds: We use Attachment Theory to help you find healthy ways to maintain a "continuing bond" with what was lost, transforming a painful absence into a meaningful presence in your internal world.
Somatic Support: Grief lives in the body. We focus on regulating your nervous system to prevent burnout and ensure you stay within your Window of Tolerance as you navigate your deepest emotions.
Healers in Mourning
I have a specialized focus on therapists and pastors experiencing loss. When you are the "professional mourner" or the community’s source of strength, finding a space to be the one who is falling apart is difficult. I provide that confidential sanctuary where you can be a human in grief, rather than a leader in control.

When anyone experiences loss or grief, it can be perplexing to navigate. It feels overwhelming as if it will never end. Every loss is unique. Everyone deals with loss differently. So therapy should be different and unique for each person as well. We work to make sure you are not alone in your grief, to walk with you through it, and address the specific needs you have. Grief and Loss Therapy enables you to connect with yourself, honor the loss you’ve experienced, and move through the loss or grief in a deep meaningful way.

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
Part of our human experience is encountering & coping with loss. This is unavoidable. Grief and loss encompass many areas including but not limited to the death of a loved one, a pet, the loss of a relationship, job or an unexpected change in health. It may also be related to a dream or narrative we had for self which may no longer be an option.
Those of us who have experienced heartache know it is real and can be devastating. It is important to put words to our emotions and allow them to move opposed to remaining stagnant. Processing our emotions surrounding grief & loss may not entirely heal them but it allows for living with the loss to feel more manageable. We can learn to live with the wound.

Grief is a massive reality check in life. It delivers us a message that, often, we are not ready or willing to hear. We can unlock the power of what grief has to offer while processing the difficult journey we all experience when life takes turns we do not want or expect.
