Counselor/Therapist, LPCC, LPC, LMHC, CCPT
CHANGE = LOSS = GRIEF. Change is a part of life, but what isn't readily known, is that all change, whether it be good or bad, creates loss and all loss has to be grieved. No matter what the loss is, the grieving process is the same. In our work together you will become familiar with the grieving process and discover ways to help in your healing process.

Grief
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed grief and loss counseling for individuals experiencing the emotional impact of bereavement, complicated grief, life transitions, or the loss of a loved one, relationship, role, or meaningful life circumstance. Grief can affect emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, sleep, concentration, and overall functioning, often bringing waves of sadness, numbness, anxiety, anger, guilt, or emotional overwhelm.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to grief counseling, helping clients process loss in a safe and supportive environment at their own pace. Therapy provides space to explore the emotional pain of grief, honor the significance of what has been lost, and work through the complex emotions that often accompany mourning and adjustment.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing from both grief and any underlying trauma that may be activated by loss. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional balance, reducing distress, and helping clients gradually rebuild meaning, stability, and connection in their lives.
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no single “right way” to heal. Brad’s approach is individualized, supportive, and non-judgmental, allowing clients to process loss in a way that respects their unique emotional needs, beliefs, and circumstances. Together, you will work toward understanding the impact of loss, integrating it into your life story, and finding ways to move forward without disconnecting from what mattered.
The goal of therapy is not to “get over” grief, but to help clients adapt, heal, and carry their loss in a way that allows for continued meaning, connection, and emotional well-being.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move through grief while rebuilding hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose and emotional balance.

Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
Losing someone you love or experiencing a significant life change can be one of the most difficult and painful experiences in life. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any other form of loss, the grief that follows can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to move forward. Therapy can provide the support and guidance you need to navigate the complex emotions of sorrow, anger, guilt, and even relief. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where we can explore your grief and work together on healthy coping strategies. With approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thought patterns, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to cultivate self-compassion, and Narrative Therapy to reframe your relationship with your loss, I help you process your emotions and find meaning in your healing journey. Together, we can work toward creating a path to healing, rebuilding hope, and finding peace as you move through the grief process.
