Marcy Irene Jenks
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, RN, NCC, LPC, LMHC
Loss is an inevitable experience during our lives as humans. Experiencing grief and sorrow can feel overwhelming or seemingly too much to bear. With a background in hospital nursing, I have a unique perspective as a counselor about how humans experience loss and grief, and about how compassion fatigue can be managed during stressful times.

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.

Mensch Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Life keeps moving, and so do you. Inside feels heavy though. You notice more brain fog, irritability, or this voice saying , “I should be over this,” and a quiet dread of anniversaries and reminders. Maybe you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a pet, the parent you didn’t get, or the future you planned. You’re the one who handles logistics for everyone else, yet grief shows up as exhaustion, numbness, or sudden waves you hide at work. I offer a steady, judgment-free place to carry it differently. We’ll name the secondary losses (identity, routines, community), create rituals and language for hard moments, and use gentle nervous-system skills so your body doesn’t collapse or clamp down. Parts-informed work helps with guilt and “what-ifs,” while practical steps (sleep, structure, boundaries) make daily life manageable. The goal isn’t “moving on”, it’s moving forward with meaning, permission to feel, and room to breathe.
