Loss or Grief
Dr. Dace Tapley
Licensed Professional Counselor, DBH, MBA, LPC, NCC
Grief and loss is an innately personal process where the patient's grief is centered around what the patient will no longer gain from the loss. In the case of the loss of a loved one, we work on helping the patient celebrate the life and hold on to the memories while letting themselves move forward with their own life.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Distress from loss and grief are often mistaken for depression. While they share some common signs, treatment for grief and loss require distinctly different approaches from treatment for depression. Dr. Randa models therapy for grief and loss on a four task program: 1) accepting that the loss has occurred and the reality of the loss, 2) Processing the pain by allowing oneself to feel the loss, 3) Adjusting to life now, externally, internally, and spiritually, and 4) Creating a lasting connection with the lost in the midst of moving on with life. The tasks are not necessarily achieved in any order, but all are necessary for most effective recovery.

When we lose important people in our lives we are left with indelible scars that remind us of the void we feel in their absence.
Loss or Grief
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
The grieving process is different for everyone. Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. Some people recover from grief and resume normal activities within six months, though they continue to feel moments of sadness. Others may feel better after about a year. Therapy will address your personal grieving process and give you the support that you need for your particular loss.

Loss or Grief
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief is such a unique and individual experience. Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, loss of a relationship, friend, family member, or job, loss can be a profound experience. Through therapy, you will have a safe space to explore these feelings. There is no right way to grieve and many people have a myriad of feelings that go along with the grief, including anger, guilt, shame, sadness, regret, or relief. We can explore all of these while you learn some coping skills to better manage your loss.
