Grief
Andrew McKenzie, Psy.D.
Psychologist
Grief is not something to "get over," but something we gradually learn to carry. Whether you've experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a chapter of your life, therapy offers a compassionate space to honor your grief without rushing the process. Together, we'll make room for both sorrow and healing while helping you reconnect with meaning and continue moving forward in a way that feels authentic to you.

Grief
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Adjusting to the loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult things in life, and many people need help, since in many cases almost everything about their life is different, and everything reminds them of the loss. When grief does not seem to fade and it does not seem to be possible to move on, help is needed and a re-orientation of life is perhaps the only things that will allow the grieving person to move on.

Grief
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.

Grief
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Grief can follow the loss of a person, relationship, role, or hoped-for future, and it often shows up in ways that are unpredictable or hard to name. Many women find themselves trying to keep functioning while carrying waves of sadness, numbness, or disorientation. In our work together, we focus on creating space to process what has changed, integrating the loss into your ongoing life, and helping you reconnect with a sense of steadiness and meaning at your own pace.

Columbia is home to the University of Missouri, the flagship state university, as well as several other colleges, giving it a pronounced college-town character and a mental health landscape significantly shaped by the needs of a large and diverse student population navigating academic pressure, identity, and the transition to adulthood. The MU School of Health Professions and Missouri Psychiatric Center contribute to the city's mental health professional resources, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves both the university community and permanent residents. The city has a generally progressive and intellectually engaged culture with a positive attitude toward therapy, and LGBTQ+ affirmative care is more accessible here than in many other parts of Missouri. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and the particular experiences of a university community navigating complex social terrain in a politically divided state.
