Matthew Wolfe
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, MHP
Grief and loss is an inevitable part of the human experience and I believe reflects the love and investment we had in the person, pet, relationship, or plan that is no longer available to us. They can be really tough experiences to navigate and can look really different from person to person. There's no one right way through it, there are many.

Nicole Waters (Flowing Waters Counseling)
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Grief is a deeply personal experience that can surface in unexpected ways—emotionally, physically, and spiritually. It is not something to just "get over". 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.

Dr. Danielle Watkins at Sound Wellness Counseling PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, LMFT, LMHC, NCC, PMH-C
When specializing in loss and grief treatment, I focus on supporting individuals as they navigate the emotional pain and adjustment that follow the death of a loved one or other significant losses. This work provides a compassionate space to process feelings such as sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, or numbness at your own pace. Counseling helps clients understand the grieving process, develop healthy coping strategies, and find meaningful ways to honor their loss while gradually adapting to life changes. The goal of therapy is not to “move on,” but to learn how to move forward while fostering support, resilience, and hope.

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.

Grief can follow the loss of a loved one, relationship, or significant life change. Everyone processes loss differently, and grief may bring waves of sadness, confusion, anger, or emotional numbness.
