Natalie A Shafer

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.

Grief
Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I walk alongside individuals facing the heartbreak of loss—whether it’s a death, the end of a relationship, a life transition, or a future you thought you’d have. In a gentle, steady space, we tend to the parts of you that feel shattered, numb, guilty, or overwhelmed, and we allow grief to move at its own pace, you can slowly integrate your loss, stay connected to what (or who) you love, and begin to feel moments of meaning and aliveness again. You can slowly integrate your loss, stay connected to what (or who) you love, and begin to feel moments of meaning and aliveness again.
