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.

Grief
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.

Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Nelson helps many clients who are experiencing grief of a loved one or a significant loss. Although grief is a normal part of the human experience, it is very emotionally and physically painful. It often feels like Major Depression. Dr. Nelson supports clients by helping them walk through this season of life. Sometimes grief can become complicated when individuals avoid processing their grief. or when there is a lack a support system.

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.

Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
"There's bounty, yes; but there's loss and sorrow too: like a garden, like a life." This quote from a published collection of letters between two nature-loving poets echoes a life perspective I revisit regularly. In our work together, I'll hold space so you can acknowledge, honor, and process experiences of grief and loss. Because when we open up to the inevitable pain of our human lives, we're also saying yes to the possibility of joy and connection.

Grief
Dr. Hina Siddiqui; Insights Psychology
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP, LP
Grief can take many forms and may arise from the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, health changes, infertility, or other significant life transitions. I work with individuals who are navigating loss and feeling overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Therapy provides a supportive space to process complex emotions at your own pace while honoring the meaning of what has been lost.
My approach to grief counseling is compassionate, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based care. Together, we focus on helping you understand your grief response, reduce feelings of isolation, and develop coping strategies that support healing and adjustment. The goal is not to “move on,” but to integrate loss in a way that allows you to reconnect with life, restore a sense of stability, and move forward with greater resilience and self-compassion.

Whether you're mourning a person, an identity, a relationship, a pregnancy, or the future you'd planned, Kelley offers a calm, unhurried space to feel it without being fixed. She integrates trauma-informed care with practical coping support so the waves become survivable and meaning slowly starts to return, without forcing you past what's still tender.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Adjusting to the loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult things in life, and many people need help, since in many cases almost everything about their life is different, and everything reminds them of the loss. When grief does not seem to fade and it does not seem to be possible to move on, help is needed and a re-orientation of life is perhaps the only things that will allow the grieving person to move on.

Alyssa Smyth

Experiencing loss or grief can quietly affect many parts of life, from mood and sleep to concentration and emotional resilience. While others may expect a quick recovery, grief often unfolds in complex and deeply personal ways. I provide a supportive space to process loss, understand its impact, and gradually find ways to move forward while honoring what has been lost.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief affects more than emotions. It can change sleep, focus, relationships, and your sense of meaning. You will have space to talk about the loss honestly and to process what it has meant, without pressure to “move on” in a certain way. My work in grief and meaning-making is a long-standing part of my clinical and professional background, and I focus on helping people carry loss in a way that still leaves room for connection, purpose, and hope.

Columbus is home to Ohio State University — one of the largest universities in the country — creating sustained demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult identity, and sports psychology. The city's position as Ohio's state capital and a growing tech and healthcare hub has accelerated demographic change, with therapists increasingly addressing burnout and adjustment among a fast-growing professional population. OhioHealth, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Columbus also has one of the largest Somali communities in the United States, making culturally competent and multilingual therapists who specialize in refugee trauma and identity an important part of the local therapy landscape.
