Grief
Joshua Redding
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief doesn't make sense, it can be difficult to manage and throw us into places we didn't know existed. It's not often fair that others get to live their lives while yours might be falling apart. There are various kinds and stages of grief and some folks may be seeking help because they don't know how to feel while others feel too much. There's no right way to grieve; sometimes it can impact our lives unexpectedly. Consider booking a free 30-minute consult to explore more.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed grief and loss counseling for individuals experiencing the emotional impact of bereavement, complicated grief, life transitions, or the loss of a loved one, relationship, role, or meaningful life circumstance. Grief can affect emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, sleep, concentration, and overall functioning, often bringing waves of sadness, numbness, anxiety, anger, guilt, or emotional overwhelm.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to grief counseling, helping clients process loss in a safe and supportive environment at their own pace. Therapy provides space to explore the emotional pain of grief, honor the significance of what has been lost, and work through the complex emotions that often accompany mourning and adjustment.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing from both grief and any underlying trauma that may be activated by loss. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional balance, reducing distress, and helping clients gradually rebuild meaning, stability, and connection in their lives.
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no single “right way” to heal. Brad’s approach is individualized, supportive, and non-judgmental, allowing clients to process loss in a way that respects their unique emotional needs, beliefs, and circumstances. Together, you will work toward understanding the impact of loss, integrating it into your life story, and finding ways to move forward without disconnecting from what mattered.
The goal of therapy is not to “get over” grief, but to help clients adapt, heal, and carry their loss in a way that allows for continued meaning, connection, and emotional well-being.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move through grief while rebuilding hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose and emotional balance.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I help you process major loss and grief in a safe and loving way. We can use a variety of frameworks to find more meaning in these relationships and explore their significance on us while they were alive and, if open to it, explore ways of staying connected with loved ones in the afterlife. We can use hypnosis, breathwork, childhood regression, past life regression, life between lives regression, and more to accompish this and empower you with the strength needed to carry on and feel hopeful in life again. I can help you find the spark that is going to motivate you to want to keep going and to get reconnected with the joy of being alive; this is especially helpful for those with survivor's guilt.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
To work with those who have lost is an honor. There is no greater pain than the pain of grief. It is a hole which cannot be filled but must still be closed. I work with clients using the Five Stages of Grief which in my belief are far more than the single words on a page. Elizabeth Kubler Ross left behind a body of research which gives us great insight into how we grieve not only the loss of a loved one, rather any loss. These stages apply to loss of a job/career, loss of a home, friendship or a pet. I will gladly work with you and share my experience to help you on your path.

Grief
Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
In my therapeutic practice, I often utilize Narrative Therapy techniques to help clients navigate their experience of loss or grief by facilitating the exploration and reconstruction of their personal narratives surrounding the loss. Additionally, I integrate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to assist clients in acknowledging their emotions, accepting their loss, and committing to actions that align with their values, fostering resilience and meaning-making in the grieving process. Drawing from Person-Centered Therapy principles, I provide a supportive and empathetic space for clients to express their emotions and process their grief at their own pace, honoring their unique journey towards healing and adjustment.

Psychologist, PhD
Grief is not something you get over. It is something you learn to carry. And for a while, it can feel like it is carrying you.
Loss comes in so many forms. The death of someone you loved. The end of a relationship. A career that defined you. A version of yourself you had to leave behind. A dream that did not go the way you planned. Whatever your loss looks like, the pain is real and it deserves to be honored, not rushed, not minimized, and not handled alone.
At CCW International, we understand grief in all its complexity. For our veteran and military family clients, loss often carries layers that others cannot fully see. The loss of fellow service members. The grief of leaving a mission and a brotherhood or sisterhood behind. The complicated mourning that comes with survival when others did not make it home.
We do not put a timeline on your grief. We do not tell you how you should feel or when you should feel better. We simply show up, sit with you in it, and help you find a way through at a pace that honors where you are.
You do not have to grieve alone. And you do not have to pretend you are okay before you are ready.
We are here for as long as you need us.

Lindsey Luedtke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Grief and loss is a very complex experience that results in so many symptoms. Grief and loss is a huge part of life that we often judge and label with expectations on how long one is allowed to grieve. But grief takes many forms and is not just about losing someone we love to death. It presents around any loss that can result from ending a relationship, watching children grow up, or grief around what was not and should have been. We will create space to learn to hold compassion for yourself as you move through the loss and learn how to release what is stored in your system.
