Loss or Grief
Kristine Berard-Whitfield
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Although grief is an inevitable part of life, the loss of a loved one is always an unexpected and challenging situation to cope with, even when the loss is expected. It stirs up a myriad of complex emotions, and its reality dwarfs everything you’ve heard about grieving. There is no way to prepare to grieve and the process of adapting to a significant loss can vary dramatically from one person to another. It often depends on a person’s background, beliefs, and relationship to what was lost.
As time passes, most come to terms with their loss and learn to cope in their own ways. Others, however, struggle with grief for prolonged periods without improvement, and as a result, their ability to carry on with daily activities is disrupted. Women who experience grief sometimes may feel guilt, depression, and may struggle with their normal daily activities.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Losing someone you love and care about can impact every facet of your life. Grief and loss can sometimes be complex and confusing. One day you may feel good and the next day you may be unable to manage your emotions. Every person experiences grief differently based on their lived experiences and a number of factors. If you're struggling with a loss, therapy can be a very helpful place to talk about your emotions and find ways to cope effectively with complicated emotions. Please give therapy a chance to help you recover from a loss and heal in a way that will be best for your mental health and well-being.

Loss or Grief
Ella Flemister
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief can take the joy out of life, and you may feel like you will not or cannot regain any feelings of vitality experienced before the loss. I stress that each person must be allowed to grieve in a manner that is suitable for them. If you are suffering loss and feel like you are stuck, therapy is in order and can provide you with a space that friends and loved ones may not be able to provide, especially if they too are affected. Allow yourself time to heal, but reach out to me if you are drowning in grief.
