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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I provide a compassionate, supportive space to process your loss at your own pace.

4 Years Experience
Online in Tacoma, WA Washington (Online Only)
Tacoma is home to Joint Base Lewis-McChord — one of the largest military installations in the United States — and a significant portion of its therapy community is oriented toward the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating trauma, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of military life. The city has undergone significant revitalization in recent decades, with a growing arts and healthcare economy alongside the military and port sectors, and therapists frequently work with the identity and adjustment challenges of a city transforming its self-image. MultiCare Health System and CHI Franciscan provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Tacoma's diverse population — including large Pacific Islander, Black, and Latino communities — drives demand for culturally affirming therapists, and the University of Washington Tacoma feeds clinical training into the local community.
