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
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
Tracy L. Morris
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS LMFT
Loss and grief are a part of every life, and often, individuals are so inundated with emotion that they may not be clear that the grieving process is underway. Unacknowledged grief surfaces in many different ways. Being able to recognize and process grief can be a key in many situations where the client's loss is being diminished in importance, whether by the culture and society or the client and their relationships.

Grief
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief can bring feelings of isolation, guilt, or being “stuck.” IFS, existential, and narrative therapies help clients honor their grief and uncover the parts of themselves carrying pain. Mindfulness and somatic strategies provide grounding in overwhelming moments. I also offer diagnostic clarity to distinguish grief from depression and work with prescribers when medication support may be appropriate.

Grief
Larry Nussbaum, LIFE JOURNEY CENTEER
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LSCSW, LISCW
Over the past twenty years, since my mother died, I have developed a "Loss and Grief Cycle" chart that incorporates and normalizes the phases most people go through when grieving a major loss (and even a minor one). We have many many losses in our lifetime so it is very important to understand this process in your pursuit of happiness.

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
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.

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
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.
