Grief
Francis A. Bax
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
There are times that we lose family, friends or pets due to death or separation. There are also times that we can't reach our goals in our lives and careers that are as much of a loss as death or dying. We explore those triggers to grief and come up with the means to accept losses.

Yuanfei Zhang
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Grief work is some of the most meaningful work I do. I don't believe in rushing anyone through their pain. Instead, I hold space for whatever grief looks like for each person, and help them find ways to carry their loss while still moving forward in life.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I guide clients through loss and grief with a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that honors the unseen currents of human experience. Drawing on my training and experience as a thanatologist, and the wisdom of ancient earth-based grieving traditions often lost in Western culture, I integrate ritual, ceremony, and embodied practices to help grief move through the body and psyche. Together, we explore the layers of emotion, memory, and meaning, as well as science based information on what happens to the body as we grieve in order to create a better understanding of our grieving process, as well creating a sacred space for healing, transformation, and a renewed connection to life beyond loss.

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
