Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Grief changes you. In my approach to addressing loss or grief, I help you work through your experiences with compassion. Through our sessions, you’ll learn how to process your pain, honor your loved one's memory, and navigate your own life as it shifts. Sometimes we have to grieve something that never was, but it's important to keep in mind that healing doesn’t necessarily mean forgetting. Instead, it means cherishing what once was and finding a way to pivot and adapt to a different phase of life, and I'd be honored to walk with you through it.

I provide a compassionate space to honor your loss and process emotions at your own pace. Together, we’ll find ways to move forward with meaning and self-compassion, rebuilding connection, resilience and hope.

Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Grief can follow the death of someone you love, but it can also emerge after the end of a relationship, a major move, a health change, the loss of a role, or the future you thought you would have. You may feel sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, confusion, or relief, sometimes all within the same day.
My approach is warm, insight-oriented, and practical. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore the meaning of the loss, the role this person or experience held in your life, and how earlier experiences with attachment, separation, or abandonment influence the way you are grieving now. There is no correct timeline, and I will not pressure you to move on before you are ready.
I may also use CBT to help you work through painful beliefs involving guilt, responsibility, regret, or hopelessness. Mindfulness and grounding strategies can help you tolerate intense emotions without becoming completely overwhelmed, while solution-focused therapy can help you gradually reconnect with routines, relationships, and sources of meaning.
When a loss was sudden, violent, or traumatic, EMDR may help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories or images connected to what happened. Treatment will be paced carefully and adapted to what feels manageable for you.
My goal is not to help you forget the person or experience you lost. It is to help you carry the loss in a way that leaves room for connection, meaning, and life to continue.

Bellevue is across Lake Washington from Seattle and one of the most significant technology hubs in North America, home to a dense concentration of major tech employers and tens of thousands of tech workers whose industry creates well-documented mental health challenges—burnout, imposter syndrome, overwork, and the anxiety of high-stakes careers in a fiercely competitive sector. The city is extraordinarily diverse, with large Chinese, Indian, Korean, and other Asian communities whose cultural approaches to mental health stigma and help-seeking create a more complex picture of who seeks therapy and how. One of the country's most expensive housing markets adds significant financial stress alongside the professional pressures of tech employment, and many residents navigate both simultaneously. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Bellevue's affluent population, with many bilingual therapists serving the large immigrant professional community; telehealth has expanded access for those with demanding schedules.
