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.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Grief can be disorienting—like you’ve suddenly found yourself in a place you no longer recognize. Maybe you lost someone irreplaceable, or perhaps you’re mourning dreams, relationships, or pieces of your identity. Whatever your loss, Dr. Jenny Shields creates a compassionate space to help driven professionals explore their grief openly, without judgment or pressure to “move on.” Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential perspectives, and mindfulness-based approaches, Dr. Shields gently guides you toward making sense of what feels senseless, honoring what you’ve lost, and reconnecting to what still matters deeply in your life.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach grief and loss with a compassionate and faith-based perspective, recognizing the profound impact of sorrow on individuals. Integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles, I create a safe space for clients to express their emotions and navigate the complexities of grief. Drawing upon biblical teachings on comfort, hope, and the promise of eternal life, I incorporate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith into the therapeutic process. I support individuals in finding meaning in their loss, fostering a deeper connection with God, and navigating the journey of healing. Encouraging reliance on the strength and comfort provided by their faith, I assist clients in integrating their grief into their spiritual journey, ultimately helping them emerge with a renewed sense of purpose and hope grounded in their Christian beliefs.

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.

Any kind of grief and loss is breathtaking. You are left feeling shocked, forgetful, and helpful. But grieving shouldn't be done alone. I am here to listen and give you the support to feel without judgment or expectations. Your grieving process will be validated, and you will begin to find light, meaning, and purpose again. Even though you will forever miss your loss, you will find a new path. Your journey will continue and you will find joy again.

Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Grief can feel like the world has shifted beneath your feet, or that you are living a life on pause while everyone else keeps going. There’s no “right” way to grieve, and it often shows up in waves of sadness, anger, numbness, or confusion. I offer a compassionate space to process your loss, honor what matters, and begin to heal at your own pace.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
I believe that grief and loss manifests from many experiences. It might be the loss of a loved one, an important relationship ending, a new life transition, or mourning the loss of an imagined future. I've found that allowing ourselves to sit with the grief can help us process it. Allowing your grief to be witnessed can be powerful and healing. Grief often shows up in unexpected ways, and there is no “right” way to move through it. I work to honor each person's unique grieving process, holding space with compassion, patience, and care.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Grief is often handled in ways that feel rushed, minimized, or quietly avoided. People expect you to “be strong,” “move forward,” or make your loss more comfortable for them. But grief doesn’t work like that. It can be disorienting, consuming, unpredictable. It can show up as anger, numbness, guilt, relief, or moments where it hits without warning. And it’s not just about losing a person—grief can come from losing a relationship, a future you were counting on, a version of yourself, or a sense of stability you thought you had. When the world keeps moving like nothing happened, it can make you feel even more disconnected.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t try to soften grief into something more palatable. We take it seriously. We sit with you in it while also helping you understand how it’s impacting your body, your thoughts, and your day-to-day functioning. We support you in finding ways to stay connected—to yourself, to others, and to some sense of grounding—even when everything feels off. We also center the question of belonging, because grief often disrupts it—who feels safe, where you fit, and how you relate to the world now. And we name the cultural messages around grief that may be pressuring you to process it in a way that isn’t actually yours. This work is not about “closure” or “moving on.” It’s about learning how to carry what’s been lost without losing yourself in the process.
