Loss or Grief
Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

Loss or Grief
Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief can feel overwhelming, disorienting, or lonely—whether you’re grieving the death of someone you love or the quieter losses that come in midlife and retirement, like children leaving home, changes in identity after retirement, or shifting relationships. I offer a calm, supportive space to make sense of what feels painful and to begin reconnecting with hope, meaning, and steady ground at your own pace. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Loss or 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.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Leaving a narcissistic relationship involves a grief that most people around you won't understand — because you're grieving someone who is still alive, a relationship that may have never been what you thought it was, and a future you planned that no longer exists. This is disenfranchised grief: loss that society doesn't fully recognize or validate, which means you rarely get the support, acknowledgment, or space to mourn that you would receive after a more conventional loss. No one sends flowers. No one tells you to take time off work. Many people in your life may even question why you're grieving at all, especially if they witnessed how he treated you.
But the grief is real. There is grief for the years you invested. Grief for who you were before the relationship changed you. Grief for the family structure your children will no longer have. Grief for the partner you thought you had — who may never have truly existed. And often, grief layered with confusion because you're mourning someone who hurt you, which makes it feel illegitimate even to yourself.
I work with mothers navigating the complex, non-linear grief of leaving or healing from narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships, using a framework that specifically honors disenfranchised grief as a real and significant loss. This includes the grief of a high-conflict divorce, the ambiguous loss of a relationship with someone who was never fully emotionally present, and the slow process of rebuilding identity after that loss. Grief in this context requires a therapist who understands the psychology of narcissistic relationships — not just general bereavement support.

Loss or Grief
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in loss and grief, my treatment approach is grounded in empathy, validation, and support. Through compassionate listening and validation of emotions, I create a safe space for individuals to express their feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion associated with their loss. Utilizing techniques from grief therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I help clients navigate the grieving process, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop coping strategies to manage their emotions. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the stages of grief and normalize the range of emotions experienced during mourning. Collaboration with clients may also involve exploring rituals or activities that honor the memory of the deceased and facilitate healing. My goal is to accompany individuals on their journey through grief, fostering resilience, meaning-making, and eventual adaptation to life without their loved one.

Fayetteville is home to Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) — one of the largest Army installations in the world — making it one of the most military-oriented cities in the United States, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty soldiers, veterans, and military families. Therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, moral injury, combat-related grief, and the dynamics of repeated deployment and reintegration are exceptionally well represented, and many practices are built specifically around the military community. Cape Fear Valley Health provides institutional mental health resources alongside a VA medical center that serves the surrounding region. Fayetteville's civilian therapy community serves a population that also navigates the economic and social challenges of a city heavily dependent on military spending and vulnerable to base realignment decisions.
