Grief
Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Loss and grief are deeply personal emotional experiences that live in both the heart and the body. My work integrates psychoanalytic reflection and somatic awareness to support the process of mourning and integration. This work helps patients find meaning, continuity, and renewed connection to life after loss.

Grief
Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Grief after betrayal is complex and often misunderstood. It may include the loss of trust, the loss of identity, the loss of the relationship as you believed it to be - and sometimes the loss of the marriage itself. This type of grief can feel disorienting and layered with anger, confusion, and shock. I provide trauma-informed support to help clients process both acute and ambiguous loss, honoring the depth of what has been taken while gently guiding stabilization and healing.

Debra Younger
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.

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.
