Grief
Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Have you lost someone important to you in your life and are struggling to move forward? Do people try to tell you that you need to grieve differently or make you feel wrong for not grieving the way they think you should? Grief is a very personal reaction to loss in our can impact us very deeply, sometimes changing our entire lives. After a significant loss, we tend to start seeing the world as “before” and “after” the loss occurred. We can find ourselves feeling deeply rooted emotions of sadness, of anger, of betrayal, or of longing or even find ourselves feeling numb and not able to feel anything at all.
I’m no stranger to grief. While I have had extensive training in my 20 years of being a licensed mental health counselor, my experience goes beyond that training to my personal experiences with loss- including the lost of my elder son when he was barely 23. Even though we will all lose someone close to us sooner or later, when the time comes, often times we are unprepared. My experience was not your experience but my experience taught me so much more than any book or workshop could teach me. I love bringing honor to my son in many ways but one of those ways is by helping others manage their issues with grief and loss and help them learn to move forward while never forgetting the ones they have left behind. We are the sum total of all of the people we love and all of the experiences we have had and even though our loss may never be replaced, we CAN learn to create a new life in the new circumstances.
My counseling style is warm and interactive and I strongly believe that ANYONE can make changes in their life. My passion is helping YOU create a life you love and relationships that nurture and support you.
It takes courage to take the steps to create a more fulfilling, happier life and to take the first steps towards making changes. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you!

Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
"There's bounty, yes; but there's loss and sorrow too: like a garden, like a life." This quote from a published collection of letters between two nature-loving poets echoes a life perspective I revisit regularly. In our work together, I'll hold space so you can acknowledge, honor, and process experiences of grief and loss. Because when we open up to the inevitable pain of our human lives, we're also saying yes to the possibility of joy and connection.

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.

Grief
Christy A McCornack
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Loss is a daily part of our lives. How much we grieve a loss depends on how much we value what or who we have lost. Grief does not just come when we lose a loved one, but can also come when we experience a significant shift in how we view the world or when we experience a significant life transition. The benefit of allowing yourself to move through a grief process is that it can give you great insight into what you value and why you value it. Grief can be a wonderful teacher.

Kate Dufek
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMHC
Grief and loss can be disorienting. My work with folks around these realms isn't geared towards "making the pain go away" but towards being present, and honoring both what has been lost, and your experience.

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.

I provide a compassionate space to honor your loss and process emotions at your own pace.

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.

Seattle's tech economy — driven by Amazon, Microsoft, and a dense startup ecosystem — has made burnout, imposter syndrome, and the social costs of rapid wealth inequality prominent themes in local therapy. The "Seattle Freeze" — a widely noted phenomenon of difficulty forming close friendships — means therapists here frequently address loneliness, social anxiety, and the challenge of building genuine community in an outwardly welcoming but emotionally reserved city. Seattle's progressive culture sustains strong demand for LGBTQ+-affirming therapists, neurodiversity specialists, and practitioners working with race, identity, and social justice themes. UW Medicine and Swedish Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most therapist-dense cities in the Pacific Northwest.
