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
Kirk Shelton
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief doesn’t follow a straight line, and it can feel isolating. Together, we’ll process the pain of loss, uncover the emotions tied to it, and work toward healing. Using EMDR and a compassionate, person-centered approach, we’ll navigate the tough journey of finding meaning and moving forward.

Grief
Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor, PsyPact
Because loss is a regular part of life, so is grieving. Grief is an understandable and natural response to change and transition. Some of the most severe losses include losing a dear partner, your job, family member or good friend. Perhaps the most difficult loss occurs when we lose our hopes and dreams.
<br>I can help you move through your transitions. I can show you how to grieve in a healthy way so that your loss supports and matures you rather than tearing you down.

Grief
Tracy Hadel
Counselor/Therapist, LSCSW
Grief is the pain we all experience after a meaningful loss. Sometimes, support from family and friends is not enough to facilitate healthy grieving, especially with the loss of a child. This is where grief therapy and/or support groups with an expert can help one find peace.

Grief
Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Distress from loss and grief are often mistaken for depression. While they share some common signs, treatment for grief and loss require distinctly different approaches from treatment for depression. Dr. Randa models therapy for grief and loss on a four task program: 1) accepting that the loss has occurred and the reality of the loss, 2) Processing the pain by allowing oneself to feel the loss, 3) Adjusting to life now, externally, internally, and spiritually, and 4) Creating a lasting connection with the lost in the midst of moving on with life. The tasks are not necessarily achieved in any order, but all are necessary for most effective recovery.

Grief
Dr. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief is a nearly universal experience. At some point, each of us will face the loss of a parent, spouse, sibling or other significant individual. In 2021, all of us have faced the loss of our pre-pandemic normal. In my practice, I have provided ongoing support to those facing both traditional and complicated grief.
