Loss or Grief
Janese Leatherbury
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LiCSW
My approach to treating grief in therapy is gentle, honoring, and deeply attuned to the uniqueness of each loss. I understand grief as a natural and ongoing process rather than something to “fix” or move through on a timeline. In our work together, I create space for the full range of emotions—sadness, anger, longing, guilt, relief, confusion—without judgment, while helping clients build regulation skills to navigate waves of intensity.
I integrate grief-focused interventions with attachment-informed and trauma-sensitive approaches, recognizing that loss often impacts identity, relationships, and one’s sense of safety in the world. We may process unfinished conversations, explore continuing bonds with the person who died, and examine how the loss shapes current relational patterns. When appropriate, I incorporate mindfulness and narrative techniques to help clients make meaning of their experience.
Throughout treatment, I emphasize connection, compassion, and integration. My goal is to help clients carry their grief in a way that feels honoring rather than overwhelming—supporting them in remembering, loving, and living forward simultaneously.

Loss or 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.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Leaving a narcissistic relationship involves a grief that most people around you won't understand — because you're grieving someone who is still alive, a relationship that may have never been what you thought it was, and a future you planned that no longer exists. This is disenfranchised grief: loss that society doesn't fully recognize or validate, which means you rarely get the support, acknowledgment, or space to mourn that you would receive after a more conventional loss. No one sends flowers. No one tells you to take time off work. Many people in your life may even question why you're grieving at all, especially if they witnessed how he treated you.
But the grief is real. There is grief for the years you invested. Grief for who you were before the relationship changed you. Grief for the family structure your children will no longer have. Grief for the partner you thought you had — who may never have truly existed. And often, grief layered with confusion because you're mourning someone who hurt you, which makes it feel illegitimate even to yourself.
I work with mothers navigating the complex, non-linear grief of leaving or healing from narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships, using a framework that specifically honors disenfranchised grief as a real and significant loss. This includes the grief of a high-conflict divorce, the ambiguous loss of a relationship with someone who was never fully emotionally present, and the slow process of rebuilding identity after that loss. Grief in this context requires a therapist who understands the psychology of narcissistic relationships — not just general bereavement support.
