Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness.
The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on their background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors.
Common symptoms of grief can be physical, emotional or social.
A few common symptoms in these categories are:
Physical
Crying and sighing
Headaches
Loss of appetite
Difficulty sleeping
Weakness
Fatigue
Emotional
Feelings of sadness and yearning
Feelings of worry or anger
Feelings of frustration or guilt
Social
Feeling detached from others
Self-isolation from social contact
Behaving in ways that are not normal for you
Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and bereavement counseling have been proven to help.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients need to talk with someone that they feel comfortable with when they are addressing loss and grief. Each grief episode or loss is a little (or a lot) different from another. Whether or not this was a recent loss or one from long ago, let's talk about how you are feeling to help you process the impact on you.

Heidi Sawyer, LPC & Career Exploration Coach
Licensed Professional Counselor
I work with clients who have faced loss and grief. It may be the loss of a relationship, a loved one, a transition in life, the loss of the life they anticipated, or the loss of a career. Grief comes in many forms and doesn't just occur at death. I help clients through the grieving process and work to find meaning from the loss.

April Bieber
Licensed Professional Counselor, CMHC, CPC, LCPC, LMHC, LPC, LPC-MHS, QS (FL)
Grief is deeply personal and often misunderstood. I walk alongside clients as they process loss — of a loved one, a relationship, a dream — and help them find new meaning while honoring what was lost.
