Dr. John E. N. Daniel
Marriage and Family Therapist, EdD; EdS; MA; MA; LCMFT#0404011018; BCCLC#0131
At the heart of our grief and loss therapy is offering our clients much-needed professional and pastoral care. Emphasis is placed of careful assessment and understanding of the crisis. Next, clients will be given the necessary support required to alleviate the crisis by both teaching and providing coping skills. As an ordained pastor and and Certified Clinical Christian Therapist, clients can, as it were, get the best of both worlds. In the next phase of counseling clients learn how to build their resilience by offering them empathy, love and compassion. The final phase of our therapeutic approach focuses on self-care through the realignment of one's identity as well as the creation of hope.

Grief
Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief has no rulebook. It doesn’t follow a straight line or a set timeline, and it can come in waves—some small, some that knock you off your feet. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, a part of your identity, or a future you had envisioned, the weight of loss can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re struggling with sadness, guilt, or even numbness. Perhaps you feel pressure to “move on” when, deep down, you’re still trying to make sense of what life looks like without what you’ve lost.
Grief is not about getting over it—it’s about learning how to carry it in a way that allows you to keep moving forward. Together, we will create space for your emotions without judgment, honor what you’ve lost, and help you find a way to integrate this experience into your life. You don’t have to go through this alone. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding a way to hold both the pain of loss and the possibility of hope.

Nicole Lucente
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, NCC
Grief is consuming. Grief is personal. Each loss is unique and everyone grieves differently. If you are experiencing grief or loss you don't have to face it alone. One can process their emotions in counseling and receive compassionate support in the greiving process.

Grief
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no "right" way to move through it. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, changes in your health, or the life you expected to have, grief can bring overwhelming emotions that affect every aspect of your daily life. You may experience sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, loneliness, or a sense of being stuck, wondering if life will ever feel the same again. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss without judgment or pressure to "move on." Healing from grief isn't about forgetting or letting go of the person or experience that mattered to you—it's about learning how to carry your loss while finding ways to move forward with meaning and hope.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, navigate life changes, and make space for both grief and healing. When grief is complicated by trauma, sudden loss, or unresolved experiences, therapy can help you safely process those memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
We recognize that grief extends beyond death. Many people experience profound grief following divorce, infertility, miscarriage, the loss of a beloved pet, estrangement from family, retirement, chronic illness, or major life transitions. Whatever your loss, your feelings are valid, and you deserve support through the healing process. Although grief may always remain a part of your story, it does not have to define your future. Together, we'll help you honor what you've lost, reconnect with your strengths, and gradually create space for healing, resilience, and hope while carrying the memories and meaning that matter most.

Grief
Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you experiencing the loss of someone or a relationship near you? Are you experiencing anger, sadness, or pain? Maybe you are asking yourself how or why this happened. Or you may even be experiencing guilt or regret. The five stages of loss & grief often repeats in cycles for a long time after the loss occurred, but rarely people actively do something about it, and more often due to believing that there is nothing they could do but give it time. Without proper processing and healing of the grief, time can only do so much. I have extensive experiences helping clients processing their grief & loss, which has often decreased their recovering process time tremendously.

Lakeland is a central Florida city between Tampa and Orlando in Polk County, home to Florida Southern College—notable for its large collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture—and serving as a significant logistics and distribution hub where Amazon, Publix, and other large employers have major operations, with a mental health landscape shaped by the economic pressures of both industrial work and rapidly rising costs of living in Florida's growing central corridor. The city has a diverse population with significant Black and Latino communities, and Lakeland Regional Health's behavioral health programs serve the community alongside a private therapy sector. The area's geography between two major metro areas means residents can access the larger therapy markets of Tampa and Orlando for more specialist care. Common therapy concerns include economic and workplace stress in a logistics and distribution economy, anxiety, family and relationship difficulties, and the mental health challenges of a rapidly growing central Florida city where housing costs are outpacing wages for many working residents.
