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
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I assist high achievers and perfectionists in navigating grief and loss by addressing how their drive for perfection can complicate their grieving process. Together, we explore how unrealistic expectations and a need for control may affect their ability to fully process and express their emotions. I provide support in developing healthy coping strategies and finding ways to honor their grief while balancing their responsibilities. By fostering self-compassion and a more flexible approach to their emotions, I help clients navigate their journey through loss with greater resilience. My goal is to guide them towards healing and acceptance while maintaining their sense of self and purpose.

Loss or Grief
Along the Path Counseling Services, P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor
Grief comes in and out of our lives, in different shapes and forms, often more than we would like in life. During grief, you can feel isolated in a whirlwind of emotions. It can be hard to know how to navigate our feelings amid such immense change. The clinician’s role, in addition to offering techniques, which will help alleviate distressing symptoms and move toward coping and healing, is to validate and be present with the griever’s inner and outer experiences and the multi-dimensional levels (somatic, psychic, and spiritual) of pain and distress.
