Loss or Grief
Kate Regnier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW, LCSW, LICSW
You're young and newly widowed or you've lost a pregnancy. Or maybe you've lost a relationship, a future, a job or home or a pet has passed. You're finding the cycle of grief to not really be a cycle. One day you're numb, the next day you're angry. Maybe you started to feel okay but then the reality of the loss hits you all over again. Regret, anger, sadness and guilt crashes over in no specific order or timeframe. You feel you're at the will of these emotions. You lost track of time ruminating over distressing images of your loved one or running through scenarios of what you wish you would've done or said in the last moments. Together, we will reprocess these images and emotions to be less intense and sharp in your mind and body and to help you find a sense of control and peace again throughout your day.

Loss or Grief
Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
A loss of someone you love can change everything and prompt us to delve into the most existential internal searches. First and foremost, we need a safe space to process what happened, why it happened, and what now gives life meaning---especially if our feelings seem to shift from one minute to the next. This therapy gives you a place to get organized by talking about the ineffable, thereby moving toward accommodation, acceptance, and even moments of peace.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Whether you’re experiencing a career change, a new relationship, a romantic break-up, a pregnancy, a miscarriage, an abortion, the death of a loved one, or an unexpected medical diagnosis, major life changes can be painful and challenging to navigate. No matter what the transition is, my goal is to meet each patient where they are. We can encounter moments of excitement and devastation with healing and growth, even when change was not what we anticipated.

Kris O'Shee
Counselor/Therapist, MA in Counseling Psychology, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
We all experience loss at some time in our lives, but how we experience that loss--how we live with it--can be crucial to our continued emotional and physical health. Grief and mourning are natural responses to the painful loss of a loved one. I want to support you during your time of grief. I want to help you find ways to move through the loss, to move into a life in which you can discover new meaning, perhaps even joy. For life is precious, and hope is crucial to restoring and recovering from what may seem like endless sorrow. This process of healing can be approached through writing or drawing, through various spiritual practices, or simply through telling your story in therapy. I'm here to listen with empathy and compassion, and to be with you what can feel like the darkest of times.

The cornerstone of good grief therapy is compassion, patience and an acknowledgement that the each person has their own unique pathway through the grief process. There is no one size fits all for grief.

Robin Kaye Stilwell

Many life situations involve experiencing loss, not solely related to death. With any life transition or growth, there is a new chapter to face, which involves closing a previous chapter.
