Loss or Grief
Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Distress from loss and grief are often mistaken for depression. While they share some common signs, treatment for grief and loss require distinctly different approaches from treatment for depression. Dr. Randa models therapy for grief and loss on a four task program: 1) accepting that the loss has occurred and the reality of the loss, 2) Processing the pain by allowing oneself to feel the loss, 3) Adjusting to life now, externally, internally, and spiritually, and 4) Creating a lasting connection with the lost in the midst of moving on with life. The tasks are not necessarily achieved in any order, but all are necessary for most effective recovery.

Loss or Grief
Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
In life, we all encounter roadblocks, trauma, choices we wished we had not made, grief, loss, regret, and sometimes horrible events. These experiences can be exhausting especially when they get in the way of us returning to the person we were before an event happened or when we can't quite be the person we envisioned ourselves being. With professional therapy, you become capable of building the skills needed to bring joy back into your life. Contact me today for a free 15 minute phone consultation. I look forward to speaking with you!

Loss or Grief
Kathy Gusenkov
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Grief work is at the root of every therapeutic process. Most times, grief lies underneath the most difficult emotions. When folks are able to release their grief, a little bit of healing takes place. Regarding the loss of a loved one, grief is a complicated but important process that required patience and gentle care. Working through the pain of grief can feel lonely, and having a witness to that pain can provide some comfort through the loss. If you have been experiencing grief, therapy can help to validate the loss and honor the pain.

Loss or Grief
Jennifer Sander
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CCTP, CCFP
Whenever someone experiences a major illness, chronic pain, or unexpected medical condition, multiple losses are inevitable. Similarly, if you're in a helper role as a caregiver, parent, or a professional, continual sacrifices can deplete your capacity to cope. I will provide guidance as you explore feelings related not only to death but also to the loss of identity, ambitions, and relationships. In the darkest of times, you don't have to be alone.

Loss or Grief
Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
Grief and loss are some of the most profound and personal experiences we face. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or even a sense of identity, grief can feel isolating and overwhelming. It’s a journey without a map, where emotions can shift from sadness to anger, confusion to numbness, and back again. At times, it may seem like no one truly understands the depth of your pain.
That’s why working with a therapist who has real-life experience with grief and loss can make all the difference. Our therapists understand not just from their professional training but also from their personal journeys. They’ve walked through the raw, unpredictable waves of grief themselves and know what it means to rebuild after loss. This lived experience allows them to offer empathy, compassion, and support that feels genuine and grounded.
Grief isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience, and there’s no “right” way to grieve. For some, it’s about finding ways to hold onto memories while moving forward. For others, it’s navigating the shock of sudden loss or the quiet ache of long-term mourning. No matter where you are in your journey, therapy can provide a safe space to process your emotions, rediscover your strength, and find meaning in life again.
Grief doesn’t need to be faced alone. Our therapists are here to walk alongside you, offering real understanding and tools to navigate your unique path. Together, we can work through the pain and help you find moments of peace, connection, and hope—even in the face of loss.

Loss or Grief
Gayle MacBride

Clients need to talk with someone that they feel comfortable with when they are addressing loss and grief. Each grief episode or loss is a little (or a lot) different from another. Whether or not this was a recent loss or one from long ago, let's talk about how you are feeling to help you process the impact on you.
