Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The Foundational Statement of my approach to loss is this: 'Some things that I want, I can have if I work for them very diligently, or wait for them. But, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual health necessitates letting go of what I cannot have...by grieving it...and then embracing what I have left! It is true that Grief is the path to healing. Therapy can provide a safe place to land in the process of grief so that a person can come to healthy 'resolve' in their experience of loss.

Grief
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Grief is a deeply personal response to losing someone or something meaningful. It may follow a death, relationship ending, health change, relocation, or the loss of a dream or former identity. Grief has no fixed timetable and may bring sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, or loneliness.
I provide a compassionate space where you can honor your loss without pressure to “move on.” Together, we work to understand your emotions, find healthy ways to carry what matters, and gradually reconnect with meaning, relationships, and hope. Healing does not require forgetting; it allows love and loss to become part of your life without defining its future.

Grief
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Grief does not follow a timeline — and it rarely looks the way people expect it to. Loss can arrive in many forms: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a career change, a medical diagnosis, or the quiet grief of a life that did not unfold the way you imagined. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I provide evidence-based grief therapy for adults navigating bereavement, complicated grief, anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and loss-related depression and anxiety. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help clients move through grief with compassion, clarity, and genuine support. Telehealth grief therapy available across 40+ states.
