Grief
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.

Grief
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.

Grief
LuAnne Rivera Lighthouse Counseling LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
There are no words to express or describe the loss of a loved one. The empty space they leave is testament to the love and life they lived. Let me be an ear to hear your story, to support you in your time of grieving, and encourage you. You are not alone.

Grief
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
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.

Grief
Vanessa Hooper
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, PMH-C
Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and it doesn't come with a deadline. I offer a steady, honest space to feel what you feel about your loss, for as long as that takes. For those interested I bring in spiritual practices to support the processing and weight of grief.
