Grief
Ingrid Sthare
Life Coach, CTLC, BCC
There are many losses. Death, jobs, relationships, etc. Our society doesn’t really have a plan to grieve loss. I created a program to do just that.

Grief
Melissa Watson
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMHC, ATR
I provide a caring and supportive space for clients to process grief and loss. I give plenty of space for client to explore and express feelings. I provide talk therapy, EMDR, and art therapy. I have witnessed clients benefit from art therapy in processing loss. Art therapy can be a way to explore loss and grief symbolically and non-verbally.

Grief
Umbrella Therapy - Andrew Baker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief is not a problem to be solved or a task to be checked off a list; it is a profound expression of love and transition. When you lose someone or something vital, the goal isn't to "get over it," but to find a way to carry it that doesn't feel like it’s crushing you.
Moving Through or Growing Around?
While many find comfort in the Stages of Grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—it’s important to remember that grief is rarely linear. It doesn't always "shrink" over time. Instead, many find that the "Growing Around Grief" model feels more honest. The pain may stay the same size, but your life, your resilience, and your experiences grow larger around it, making the burden feel more integrated and manageable.
Holding the Full Picture
Grief is often complicated by the reality of the person we lost. We will hold space for the full spectrum of your history, including:
The Good: Honoring the joy, the love, and the beautiful legacies left behind.
The Negative: Acknowledging the complications, the regrets, or the difficult dynamics that existed.
You don't have to "saint" the person you lost to grieve them deeply. Healing comes from finding the meaning of the relationship as it actually was, not just as a polished memory.
