Loss or Grief
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Loss and grief can feel like a weight you carry every day, even when the world expects you to move on. Maybe you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or even a sense of who you used to be, and no matter how much time has passed, the pain still lingers. You might feel waves of sadness that come out of nowhere, guilt over what you didn’t say or do, or even numbness—like a part of you shut down just to survive. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and it doesn’t always look like tears—sometimes, it’s exhaustion, irritability, or feeling disconnected from life. If you find yourself stuck in sadness, struggling to move forward, or avoiding the pain altogether, your brain may be holding onto loss in a way that keeps you trapped in emotional pain.
But grief doesn’t have to stay this heavy forever. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help clients process loss in a way that honors their emotions without keeping them stuck in suffering. ART allows your brain to release painful memories, soften the emotional intensity, and create space for healing—without forcing you to relive the pain over and over. It’s not about forgetting or moving on; it’s about finding a way to carry your loss differently, so it no longer defines your daily life. Therapy helps you hold onto love and connection while letting go of the pain that keeps you from fully living. You don’t have to carry this alone—healing is possible, and you deserve peace.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Jennifer Baumgardner
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Sometimes the grief of a loss is overwhelming. Grief is seen as a normal response to loss. Coaching and teaching are used to help the grieving person learn how to cope with the loss. Therapy also helps the grieving person to come to grips with changes in life that are part of the loss. There may always be sadness at the loss but there can be resolution.

Loss or Grief
Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
Grief can be one of the most painful experiences in life, often coming in unexpected ways and changing our lives forever. Often in grief, we find it hard to open up to our friends or family because they simply don’t get it or don’t know what to say.
Therapy can provide you with a space to say things out loud you might not be able to say with others, and to find support, encouragement, and constructive feedback to learn how to life your life without the person, place, or thing you loved.
Grief will never be “okay” and will likely never not hurt, but it doesn’t have to be so heavy and overwhelming. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Grief changes you. In my approach to addressing loss or grief, I help you work through your experiences with compassion. Through our sessions, you’ll learn how to process your pain, honor your loved one's memory, and navigate your own life as it shifts. Sometimes we have to grieve something that never was, but it's important to keep in mind that healing doesn’t necessarily mean forgetting. Instead, it means cherishing what once was and finding a way to pivot and adapt to a different phase of life, and I'd be honored to walk with you through it.
