Grief
Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
Grief doesn’t follow a script. Whether you’re mourning the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a version of life you expected, I offer a space to sit with the pain without pressure to “move on.” We’ll work at your pace to make sense of what you’re feeling, honor what you’ve lost, and begin to imagine what healing might look like—even if it feels far away right now.

Grief
Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals navigating grief and loss, whether following the death of a loved one or the loss of a relationship, health, identity, dream, or significant chapter of life. Grief is not something that needs to be rushed, fixed, or experienced in a particular way, and I provide a compassionate space to process the many emotions that can accompany loss. Together, we explore how grief is held not only emotionally and mentally, but also within the body, relationships, and sense of self. My work helps clients honor what has been lost while gradually finding ways to reconnect with themselves, create meaning from their experiences, and move forward without feeling that moving forward means leaving their loss behind.
