Loss or Grief
Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief is one of the most profound and personal experiences a person can go through, and there is no right or wrong way to carry it. At Alabaster Counseling, we hold space for girls and women who are navigating loss in all of its forms, whether that is the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, the loss of a dream, or any other experience that has left your heart feeling broken and your world feeling different than it once was. We understand that grief does not follow a timeline, and we will never ask you to move faster than you are ready to. With warmth, patience, and evidence-based care, we walk gently alongside you as you process your pain, honor what you have lost, and slowly find your way toward healing and hope again.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Dorothy Brass
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Providing grief counseling or therapy can provide support and guidance for individuals navigating the grieving process. I will help you explore feelings, cope with loss, adjust to life changes, and find ways to honor and remember what or who has been lost. Support groups, self-care practices, and connecting with others who have experienced similar losses can also be valuable resources for coping with grief and moving forward in a healthy and meaningful way.

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
Mae Winters
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief is not a linear process, and loss can take many forms—death, relationship endings, infertility, estrangement, identity changes, or the loss of a future you expected. Grief often brings waves of sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, or confusion, and it can surface long after others expect you to be “okay.” Many people feel pressure to move on before they’ve had space to fully process what was lost.
I work with adults navigating loss and grief by providing a supportive space to honor the experience without rushing or minimizing it. Therapy focuses on emotional processing, meaning-making, and helping clients stay connected to themselves while adjusting to life after loss. Together, we explore how grief is showing up—emotionally, cognitively, and relationally—and develop ways to carry the loss with compassion rather than becoming overwhelmed by it.
The goal of therapy is not to erase grief, but to help it feel more integrated and less isolating, allowing clients to move forward while honoring what has been lost.

Loss or Grief
Andrea Kamins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, MSW
Grief is a complex emotional experience that can be overwhelming to navigate alone. I provide support and psychoeducation about grief to support clients in making meaning of the losses life brings. This includes grief related to the break-up of a relationship, the diagnosis of a chronic medical condition, or any other life stressor involving loss.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Coping with loss or grief can be an overwhelming and deeply personal journey. Hypnotherapy offers a compassionate and supportive approach to navigating these emotions, helping individuals find solace and healing. Through hypnotherapy, clients can access their subconscious mind, where unresolved grief and pain often reside. In a state of deep relaxation, individuals can gently explore their feelings of loss, allowing themselves to fully process and release these emotions.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Todd Ellison
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW
The bulk of my work has been in loss, grief, and end of life. Most of how I practice generally is due to what I’ve learned from the many caregivers I’ve worked with.
