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
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.

Loss or Grief
Lynda Griffin Bull
Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC
Grief is a deeply personal experience that can follow the loss of a loved one, a major life change, or even the loss of a hoped-for future. Feelings of sadness, confusion, anger, or numbness are all part of the grieving process, and everyone moves through it at their own pace. I provide a compassionate space where you can talk openly about your loss and the impact it has had on your life. Together we will honor your experience, process the emotions that arise, and support you in gradually finding meaning and connection again.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Florence Rosiello
Therapist, Ph.D.
Most of my work is with people who have difficulty in relationships, either feeling too emotionally isolated or too merged. My strength lies in helping people find a place where they can be in intimate relationships and not lose themselves. Loving is difficult - and feeling loved, is even harder.

Loss or Grief
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Grief is the pain that is naturally felt when a loss occurs. The loss can be from the death of a loved one or pet, the loss of a job or a friendship, or even a sense of lost safety after a traumatic event. Feelings of Grief and Loss happen to everyone and can.
The stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and, finally, acceptance – they tend to happen in this order but that is not always the case. In fact, depression from a loss may occur years after the loss itself. It is important for individuals to work through the emotions following grief as they are necessary and normal.
However, if the anger, isolation, or depression do not pass within a reasonable amount of time then professional support may be needed. If the pain is so constant and severe that everyday life cannot be resumed, it could be a condition called “complicated grief” or the individual could have fallen into a clinical depression. A psychotherapist can evaluate and treat these conditions so a healthy life can be regained.

Loss or Grief
Alice Barton
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Many clients who suffer losses whether it be through sudden death or illness, have not properly grieved during the first year after the loss and are left with "complicated grief" . This can interfere with a person's normal functioning including loss of concentration, job loss, less participation in enjoyable activities and many other changes.
