Grief
GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I guide clients through loss and grief with a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that honors the unseen currents of human experience. Drawing on my training and experience as a thanatologist, and the wisdom of ancient earth-based grieving traditions often lost in Western culture, I integrate ritual, ceremony, and embodied practices to help grief move through the body and psyche. Together, we explore the layers of emotion, memory, and meaning, as well as science based information on what happens to the body as we grieve in order to create a better understanding of our grieving process, as well creating a sacred space for healing, transformation, and a renewed connection to life beyond loss.

Jennifer Warkentin

Grief is a normal human response to a great loss. We have different reactions to the process of losing someone or something that was important to us. I can walk beside you through that process and offer some strategies for reducing stress and pain. Please reach out if you are expecting a loss or recently suffered one.

Douglairian psychology apc
Marriage and Family Therapist, Lmft
I specialize in grief counseling. Losing a loved one is always difficult, and processing that grief is a non-linear journey that involves adapting to a "new reality" while honoring what was lost. Whether you are grieving a death, a relationship, or another major life change, my focus is on helping you move from surviving to growing.

Nekea Strong (Abundant Life Therapy)
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT, APCC
My work with individuals experiencing grief shows by meeting them where they are and honoring their unique relationship to loss. Grief can impact emotional, physical, and relational well being, often in ways that feel overwhelming or unexpected. In our work together, I help clients make space for their grief without pressure to “move on,” while gently building tools to cope with day to day life. My goal is to support clients in integrating their loss in a way that feels meaningful, compassionate, and aligned with their values.
