Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC

We don't ask you to "get over it" or rush your process; instead, we help you carry the weight of loss, integrate your grief, and care for your nervous system as you navigate what comes next. In-person care in the Chicago Loop and telehealth across Illinois are available, in-network with BCBS PPO, Aetna PPO, and Curative Health.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief and loss look different on everyone. Grief can happen when someone dies but it can also happen after a breakup, separation, friendship loss, job change/loss, injury, illness, a move, etc. The intensity and presentation of grief symptoms are different for everyone. Our culture and traditions can also inform our grief. Let's talk about it together.
