Grief
Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
If you've experienced a loss or major transition, you might find that everyone in your life and everything within you pushes you to “get your life back on track.” You may feel that you should be ready to resume your former life, but losing a loved one or experiencing a betrayal can leave you with such overwhelming emotions that healing simply doesn’t happen at the pace you expect it to, and your former life may no longer be possible. That doesn’t mean that you can’t have a rich life or that healing isn’t possible. It simply means that many people don’t fully heal from loss because they push forward too fast, or they try to return to a life and a self that no longer exists. I'll help you to recognize and honor the timetable they need to go through the healing cycle. During this period of profound distress, the process focuses on helping you to connect with your own inner strength and wisdom and to honor your emerging new self as your journey returns you to your center.
Methods used may include the Seasons of Change, Heroic Journey work, grief support, and TAT. These methods help you to fully process your loss, discover the the lessons it brings you, and move forward at the right time.

Grief
Cecelia Myers
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC (North Carolina), LPC (Georgia), LPC (South Carolina)
A major shift has taken place in the life of a grieving person. In many cases communication, relationships, and life satisfaction are all affected by the loss. Therapy can assist in the residual effects of grief and loss as well as with processing the event.

Loss and Grief: Honoring the Unfinished Narrative
Integrating the Absence, Reclaiming the Self
Grief is not a task to be completed or a set of stages to be "checked off." It is a profound, systemic reorganization of your world. When we lose a loved one, a career, a dream, or a community, our attachment system goes into a state of high alarm. In my practice, I provide a courageous and sturdy space to carry the weight of your loss, helping you move from the initial shock and shut down toward a place of integrated healing.
The Multi-Layered Nature of Loss
Grief often impacts every part of our "system"—biological, psychological, and social. We work together to navigate:
The "Grief Fog": Addressing the cognitive overwhelm, memory lapses, and exhaustion that characterize the early months of loss.
Complicated & Disenfranchised Grief: Validating losses that society may not fully "see"—such as the loss of a pet, a divorce, or the "ambiguous loss" of a loved one still living but changed by illness or addiction.
Spiritual Deconstruction through Loss: Using my Master of Divinity to explore the profound "spiritual disillusionment" that often follows a tragic loss, providing a safe harbor for your anger, doubt, and questions of meaning.
A Systems-Rooted Path to Healing
With over 20 years of experience, I integrate specialized modalities to help you process your grief without being consumed by it:
EMDR for Traumatic Loss: If your loss was sudden, violent, or particularly distressing, we use EMDR to process the "stuck" images and sensations, allowing your nervous system to move out of a permanent state of "survival mode."
Attachment & Continuing Bonds: We use Attachment Theory to help you find healthy ways to maintain a "continuing bond" with what was lost, transforming a painful absence into a meaningful presence in your internal world.
Somatic Support: Grief lives in the body. We focus on regulating your nervous system to prevent burnout and ensure you stay within your Window of Tolerance as you navigate your deepest emotions.
Healers in Mourning
I have a specialized focus on therapists and pastors experiencing loss. When you are the "professional mourner" or the community’s source of strength, finding a space to be the one who is falling apart is difficult. I provide that confidential sanctuary where you can be a human in grief, rather than a leader in control.

Grief
Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals navigating grief and loss, whether following the death of a loved one or the loss of a relationship, health, identity, dream, or significant chapter of life. Grief is not something that needs to be rushed, fixed, or experienced in a particular way, and I provide a compassionate space to process the many emotions that can accompany loss. Together, we explore how grief is held not only emotionally and mentally, but also within the body, relationships, and sense of self. My work helps clients honor what has been lost while gradually finding ways to reconnect with themselves, create meaning from their experiences, and move forward without feeling that moving forward means leaving their loss behind.
