Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
The grieving process is different for everyone. Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. Some people recover from grief and resume normal activities within six months, though they continue to feel moments of sadness. Others may feel better after about a year. Therapy will address your personal grieving process and give you the support that you need for your particular loss.

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.

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
The death of a loved one is hardly ever simple - it stirs strong, complicated, and upsetting feelings within us. This is particularly true when we lose someone close to us - a partner, parent, child - or someone with whom we had a complicated relationship. I believe the key to successful grieving is allowing ourselves to feel, identify, and make sense of all our feelings around the loss, especially feelings we’re reluctant to accept.
Having worked previously as a palliative care psychologist within a hospital setting, I have accompanied many families and caregivers before, during, and after their loved one’s death. I am familiar with helping others navigate the often uncomfortable psychic terrain of grief. I work well with those looking to explore their grief and find relief through expressing their feelings and making meaning of their loved one’s death.

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.
