Loss or Grief
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver approaches grief as a uniquely personal and non-linear process, understanding that each journey through loss is as individual as the person experiencing it. She guides her clients through grief’s complex stages—including shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, and hope. Dr. Cynthia validates that people don’t always move through these stages in a set order or even experience them all. Whether the loss is due to the passing of a loved one, the end of a marriage, children moving out of the home, or the heartache of losing a beloved pet, Dr. Cynthia recognizes that grief can reappear and shift in intensity over time. The intensity of complex grief can lead to depression and complex grief should be addressed with a qualified mental health professional.
Dr. Cynthia also understands that grief can lead to physical and emotional burnout. Unprocessed or ongoing grief can be especially draining, leading to exhaustion, decreased motivation, and even physical symptoms like fatigue and anxiety. Dr. Cynthia helps her clients process these emotions, providing support for high-functioning women who often feel pressured to "keep it together" despite their own pain. Her approach integrates empathy and evidence-based methods to support clients in navigating their grief, regaining strength, and eventually finding meaning through their loss. Whether working on acceptance, healing, or creating new routines, Dr. Cynthia is committed to walking alongside her clients with compassion and expertise.

Loss or Grief
Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we understand that loss and grief can profoundly affect individuals and their relationships, often bringing up intense emotions and unresolved fears. Our approach focuses on creating a safe space for clients to process their grief, whether it stems from the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other significant life changes. Utilizing the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we help individuals identify the core fears associated with their loss—such as fear of abandonment, loss of identity, or fear of moving forward alone—and the “chief defenses” that may emerge in response to these fears. By guiding clients to do the opposite of these defenses, we facilitate a journey toward healing and acceptance, allowing them to express their emotions authentically and rediscover hope. This process not only supports individual healing but also strengthens relationships by fostering open communication and deeper empathy among loved ones as they navigate the complex terrain of grief together.

Loss or Grief
Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
Grief and loss are some of the most profound and personal experiences we face. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or even a sense of identity, grief can feel isolating and overwhelming. It’s a journey without a map, where emotions can shift from sadness to anger, confusion to numbness, and back again. At times, it may seem like no one truly understands the depth of your pain.
That’s why working with a therapist who has real-life experience with grief and loss can make all the difference. Our therapists understand not just from their professional training but also from their personal journeys. They’ve walked through the raw, unpredictable waves of grief themselves and know what it means to rebuild after loss. This lived experience allows them to offer empathy, compassion, and support that feels genuine and grounded.
Grief isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience, and there’s no “right” way to grieve. For some, it’s about finding ways to hold onto memories while moving forward. For others, it’s navigating the shock of sudden loss or the quiet ache of long-term mourning. No matter where you are in your journey, therapy can provide a safe space to process your emotions, rediscover your strength, and find meaning in life again.
Grief doesn’t need to be faced alone. Our therapists are here to walk alongside you, offering real understanding and tools to navigate your unique path. Together, we can work through the pain and help you find moments of peace, connection, and hope—even in the face of loss.
