Grief
New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Working through loss and grief requires a compassionate and sensitive approach that acknowledges the unique journey of each individual through the grieving process. Drawing from a blend of therapeutic modalities such as grief counseling, narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques, I aim to create a safe space where clients can explore and express their emotions freely. By providing validation, support, and practical coping strategies, I assist clients in navigating the complex emotions and adjustments that accompany loss. Through this specialized expertise, I help clients honor their loved ones, find meaning in their experiences, and ultimately rebuild a sense of hope and resilience in the face of profound loss.

Grief
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Grief can be disorienting—like you’ve suddenly found yourself in a place you no longer recognize. Maybe you lost someone irreplaceable, or perhaps you’re mourning dreams, relationships, or pieces of your identity. Whatever your loss, Dr. Jenny Shields creates a compassionate space to help driven professionals explore their grief openly, without judgment or pressure to “move on.” Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential perspectives, and mindfulness-based approaches, Dr. Shields gently guides you toward making sense of what feels senseless, honoring what you’ve lost, and reconnecting to what still matters deeply in your life.

Grief
Online Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions -AZ, IL, OH
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC
I provide compassionate support for individuals navigating the pain, confusion, and emotional weight of loss. Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, coping with the end of a relationship, adjusting to a major life change, or experiencing a loss that feels difficult to name, therapy offers a steady and grounding space to process your emotions at your own pace. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with gentle, strengths‑based guidance to help you understand your grief, manage overwhelming thoughts, and find healthy ways to cope. For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian Counseling, offering faith‑centered comfort, spiritual reflection, and biblically grounded hope during seasons of sorrow.
