Grief
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Grief is not linear, nor is it limited to death or loss. Any uninvited change can bring feelings of mourning and sadness. I offer a supportive space to help you process your experience and find ways to adapt and cope.

When we lose important people in our lives we are left with indelible scars that remind us of the void we feel in their absence.

Grief
Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in grief and loss.
Grief rarely follows a schedule. It can surface months after a death, arrive in waves that flatten you without warning, or refuse to look the way you expected. Alongside sadness there may be anger at the person who died, relief you feel guilty about, or a numbness that worries you more than tears would. Complicated grief, prolonged grief, and loss without closure, such as an estrangement or a death you never got to say goodbye to, can leave mourning with nowhere to settle.
I work psychoanalytically, which means none of these reactions is treated as wrong. Each one carries its own unconscious logic worth understanding: what this person meant to you, and what the loss has disturbed. When grief gets stuck, it often means something in it has not yet been allowed to be felt or spoken. In sessions we make room for that, at your own pace, rather than asking you to move on in the sense of leaving the person behind. Over time, grief that is given real attention tends to soften, and what remains becomes something you can carry rather than something that sits on top of your life.
If a loss has been harder to carry than the people around you seem to understand, I would be glad to talk.

Grief
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing loss and grief across the lifespan. With professional experience in hospice and a dissertation focused on grief and loss, I bring both clinical expertise and deep compassion to this work. I take a companioning approach to grief, recognizing that healing often involves retelling your story many times as you move through it. Loss changes us permanently, and grief is the process of discovering who we are becoming. Together, we create space to honor your experience, process complex emotions, and find meaning and resilience moving forward.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
Dealing with loss and grief involves allowing yourself to experience and accept your feelings, seeking support from loved ones or a therapist, taking care of your physical and emotional well-being, finding healthy outlets for expressing your emotions, being patient with yourself as you heal, remembering and honoring your loved one, and seeking professional help if needed. It's important to acknowledge your grief, lean on others for support, take care of yourself, express your emotions, be patient with your healing process, remember your loved one, and seek professional guidance if necessary.
