Loss or Grief therapists in Hazard, Kentucky KY
Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
There is really no way to fully prepare for death; less so when loss is sudden and unexpected. Many people feel a range of emotions - and those emotions may change over time or even moment by moment: shock, confusion, anger, denial, relief, emptiness, deep sadness, loneliness, isolation, fatigue, just to name a few. Sometimes loss is missing someone dear to us, and sometimes loss is more complicated. There is no correct way to grieve. But we can look at the ways in which our own minds can increase our suffering so that we can learn to be with grief and loss in a way that allows fully honoring our experiences, as well as taking steps forward in your life in a way that is in line with your chosen values. I offer a safe place where is OK to feel your feelings, however messy or confusing. I also will be on your journey to help you find rituals for honoring your loss that are special to you and your unique relationship with who you have lost.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
The grieving process is different for everyone. Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. Some people recover from grief and resume normal activities within six months, though they continue to feel moments of sadness. Others may feel better after about a year. Therapy will address your personal grieving process and give you the support that you need for your particular loss.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Grief is so different for everyone. There is no "right" way to grieve. I'll hold space for you to process your loss and validate what YOU are feeling and going through. When the time comes to think about moving forward, I can help you explore what makes sense to you. I won't judge your thoughts, or work to make you feel better by pushing you to speed grief along. No, I'll respect your journey and provide you the support you need.

Mayme Siders
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been a Certified Grief Specialist in the past. It is important to note that Grief and loss work is not limited to death of loved ones. It can also center around breakups, the loss of pets, job and career loss, serious health issues, the ending of friendships, or any unexpected and unchosen life change. I enjoy helping people navigate these difficult areas and supporting them through them.
