Loss or Grief
Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.” ― David Kessler, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief
I align with this quote. Grief and loss come in many forms and ultimately in death. My heart for grief work is being present and holding space to let you experience the full measure of your grief while staying anchored in the here and now. You will drown and then realize you are the ocean.

Loss or Grief
Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
Grief and loss are often confusing and difficult to work through. I come alongside you in your grief and help soothe the pain of the emptiness that is often so painful. When we walk into the darkness of the sunset, the sunrise comes much more quickly than when we walk away in an attempt to avoid it.

Loss or Grief
Christensen and Sons, Inc.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW: LCSW, LSW, PEL
Lose can be painful. Losing someone or something you love or care deeply about never arrives in our lives at a good time. During our periods of loss we may experience all kinds of difficult emotions and it may feel like the pain and sadness each of us experience may never end. Anger, anxiety or depression may be overwhelming. These reactions to a significant loss are normal. As your counselor, we will journey with you during this time of grief. We will not tell you the right or wrong way to grieve, but we can guide you with healthy ways to cope with the pain that, in time, can renew you and permit you to move on. Rather than tolerating your loss we will assist you in accepting the loss.

Loss or Grief
Teri L. Murphy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LCPC
Grief most often occurs with the loss of a loved one. However, many life events and transitions cause grief or loss as well. Loss of a job, a dream, a hope, a goal; divorce and so on. Trauma often fails in the category or grief/loss for many indivdualsl. It's important for the therapist to listen in a supportive manner to individuals’ concerns. That is what I provide for those struggling with grief. Listening in a supportive is essential for healing. With trauma grief I help the client to understand and recognize the feelings that often occur, such as numbness, helplessness, anxiety, anger and deep sadness. Regardless of the source of grief I assist clients in finding their own strength and learn to develop coping skills that eventually can lead to pre-loss functioning. The heart of grief counseling is validation. Each person grieves in their own way and that needs to be understood in a caring way.
