Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Loss can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, from others, and from the future we imagined. Together, we'll honor your grief while helping you process the emotions that remain unresolved, allowing healing to unfold without letting go of the person or life you've lost.

Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Experiencing the loss of a loved one can be the most isolating time in our lives. After the meal trains end, the services are over, and the thank-you's have all been sent, we are often left to suffer in silence, leading to guilt, depression, and recrimination. This is especially true when the death was sudden and/or centered around less than socially acceptable manners of death, and often those around us simply don't know what to say or how to be around us. When we work together, there is no judgment on what you are feeling or how you are "progressing." Instead, we just process the way things are today.

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.

Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
If you've experienced a loss or major transition, you might find that everyone in your life and everything within you pushes you to “get your life back on track.” You may feel that you should be ready to resume your former life, but losing a loved one or experiencing a betrayal can leave you with such overwhelming emotions that healing simply doesn’t happen at the pace you expect it to, and your former life may no longer be possible. That doesn’t mean that you can’t have a rich life or that healing isn’t possible. It simply means that many people don’t fully heal from loss because they push forward too fast, or they try to return to a life and a self that no longer exists. I'll help you to recognize and honor the timetable they need to go through the healing cycle. During this period of profound distress, the process focuses on helping you to connect with your own inner strength and wisdom and to honor your emerging new self as your journey returns you to your center.
Methods used may include the Seasons of Change, Heroic Journey work, grief support, and TAT. These methods help you to fully process your loss, discover the the lessons it brings you, and move forward at the right time.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Grief is a profoundly non-linear experience that can reshape your entire reality. Utilizing evidence-based bereavement frameworks and trauma-informed care, I help individuals navigate the complex emotional landscape of loss—including the death of a loved one, secondary losses, and ambiguous grief. Our work focuses on honors-based processing, managing the physiological impact of acute sorrow, and safely integrated strategies to help you carry your grief while gradually rebuilding a meaningful life.

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.

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.

Cecelia Myers
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC (North Carolina), LPC (Georgia), LPC (South Carolina)
A major shift has taken place in the life of a grieving person. In many cases communication, relationships, and life satisfaction are all affected by the loss. Therapy can assist in the residual effects of grief and loss as well as with processing the event.

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.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Whether a loss is expected or not, it is hard to go through each day with the heaviness that grief places in our bodies. I help parents who have lost pregnancies or babies, as well as adults struggling after the loss of a loved one. Our culture does not know how to talk about loss, making grief even more isolating. I provide attuned presence, healing through honoring all the emotions that come with loss. Using talk therapy as well as an eye movement therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I can help you let go of distressing images that sometimes accompany experiences of loss. We will work together to help you honor your grief, make space for the loss, and build a life of meaning and purpose.

Kasia Ciszewski
Therapist, LPC
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.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Loss is inevitable. We all die and we all lose people, relationships, and states of being that we once loved. If we open ourselves to live an authentic, honest, interdependent life, we are sure to experience loss and grief. Many of us fear it so much that we develop a multitude of ways to avoid it, strike a connection balance that we believe will help us protect ourselves later (yet that often robs our joy in the meantime), and use substances or other numbing techniques to help us avoid the complicated process of grief. I believe we can all benefit from learning to appreciate that loss is inevitable, and to learn to grieve in a way that enables us to move forward with compassion and fulfillment.
