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.

Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
There is no one right way to grieve a loss. We often associate grief with losing a loved one but it can occur with other significant life changes such as the end of a relationship, loss of a pet, job loss, changes in your family dynamic, or other significant life changes. I have worked with many clients experiencing grief and they often share with me that they feel alone and misunderstood by others. As human beings, we often struggle to know how to respond to someone who is grieving. As a result, people who are grieving may feel isolated or try to put on a brave face so that they do not feel like a burden to others. In therapy, you can come exactly as you are and you don't have to put on a brave face. In our work together, you will have the space to process your thoughts and feelings associated with your grief. An important goal is to help you find ways to honor the loss while still allowing room for new experiences and meaningful connections in your life.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
Loss and Grief is not like anything you have experienced before. Grief is a process and not one that you can control but rather go through it. The stronger the love the deeper the grief. I have additional training in grief counseling and can help you to navigate through your pain. Loss can include but is not limited to death, divorce, job, move, incarceration, finance, and career. People can experience loss when children go from house to house during a divorce, teens going off to college, and young adults moving out on their own. Grief can be experienced alongside medical issues of loved ones or self, military issues, and more. If you or someone you know is dealing with loss and grief, I can help.

Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Grief is deeply personal and doesn’t follow a set timeline. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a pet, a relationship, or a version of your life, the pain can feel overwhelming and isolating. Therapy offers a supportive space to process your grief, honor your experience, and begin to carry it in a way that feels more manageable.

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.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Grief can be deeply personal and often shows up in waves that feel unpredictable and overwhelming. I support clients as they navigate the emotional, physical, and relational impact of loss, whether it is the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other significant life changes. In our work together, I provide a compassionate space to process emotions without judgment, make meaning of your experience, and move at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to help you feel supported as you carry your grief, while also gently reconnecting with moments of grounding, healing, and hope over time.

Along the Path Counseling Services, P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor
Grief comes in and out of our lives, in different shapes and forms, often more than we would like in life. During grief, you can feel isolated in a whirlwind of emotions. It can be hard to know how to navigate our feelings amid such immense change. The clinician’s role, in addition to offering techniques, which will help alleviate distressing symptoms and move toward coping and healing, is to validate and be present with the griever’s inner and outer experiences and the multi-dimensional levels (somatic, psychic, and spiritual) of pain and distress.

Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
Grief and loss are often confusing and difficult to work through. I come alongside you in your grief and help soothe the pain of the emptiness that is often so painful. When we walk into the darkness of the sunset, the sunrise comes much more quickly than when we walk away in an attempt to avoid it.
