Grief
Jesika Doty - Amphora Mental Health Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
As a young widow and mother, I know and understand profound loss and grief. Every nuance and every way that it can dig its way into your core and within every fiber of your being. I have walked this path and there is hope but sometimes we need support along the way. When working with me through your own loss and grief, our paths are unique and our loss and grief stories are unique and I always hold this idea first and foremost. I work with you on addressing the emotional issues that might arise for loss in a way that is unique to you and your own process, while also giving you tools and resources to move forward in loss and find the joy again in life.

Grief
Eileen Griffin
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief is a bitch. It is also so, so important. It's sneaky and messy - like someone threw all your emotions in a blender at hit WHIR at sometimes the most surprising of times. Grief work involves understanding what we have lost and simultaneously holding on and letting go. Our society is (sometimes) great at offering bereavement support for concrete losses (i.e. death), immediately after that loss. What if it's more complicated? What if your bereavement leave (if you even have any) is over and you feel like the offer to talk to your friends about that loss has expired? Trust me when I say that avoiding grief tends to backfire. I know what grief tastes like and I'm here to be with you when it feels messy.

Authentically You Counseling
Treatment Center, LCMHC
Scheduling at AYC is easy - schedule an intake as soon as next week. Finding the courage to be true to yourself despite the challenges you have to overcome is the ultimate goal of therapy. I believe one of the greatest grievances is living an inauthentic life with who you are. Regardless of what you’ve been through, if something is stopping you from living your truth - if fear prevents you from engaging in life the way you want or you are attempting to live up to some societal or personal expectation so far out of reach it hurts - If something is preventing you from living your fullest life, you can make a difference!
I want to help you reach your fullest potential according to your personal truth, values and beliefs. If we embark on this journey together, you will be the driver. I will simply help you see the different paths to reaching your end goal. In the end, you must be true to yourself in choosing the path you wish to take - or none at all.
Finding your truth sometimes means making a decision about whether or not to live your full truth. We can work together to help you explore your options to make the right choice for You. Making the call (or email) to start your journey is the first step - Let us start your journey together!

Grief
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness.
The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on their background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors.
Common symptoms of grief can be physical, emotional or social.
A few common symptoms in these categories are:
Physical
Crying and sighing
Headaches
Loss of appetite
Difficulty sleeping
Weakness
Fatigue
Emotional
Feelings of sadness and yearning
Feelings of worry or anger
Feelings of frustration or guilt
Social
Feeling detached from others
Self-isolation from social contact
Behaving in ways that are not normal for you
Every grieving experience is different. A person may be able to continue their day-to-day routine after one loss, yet not be able to get out of bed after the loss of someone else. Whatever your personal symptoms are, grief and bereavement counseling have been proven to help.
