Loss or Grief
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver approaches grief as a uniquely personal and non-linear process, understanding that each journey through loss is as individual as the person experiencing it. She guides her clients through grief’s complex stages—including shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, and hope. Dr. Cynthia validates that people don’t always move through these stages in a set order or even experience them all. Whether the loss is due to the passing of a loved one, the end of a marriage, children moving out of the home, or the heartache of losing a beloved pet, Dr. Cynthia recognizes that grief can reappear and shift in intensity over time. The intensity of complex grief can lead to depression and complex grief should be addressed with a qualified mental health professional.
Dr. Cynthia also understands that grief can lead to physical and emotional burnout. Unprocessed or ongoing grief can be especially draining, leading to exhaustion, decreased motivation, and even physical symptoms like fatigue and anxiety. Dr. Cynthia helps her clients process these emotions, providing support for high-functioning women who often feel pressured to "keep it together" despite their own pain. Her approach integrates empathy and evidence-based methods to support clients in navigating their grief, regaining strength, and eventually finding meaning through their loss. Whether working on acceptance, healing, or creating new routines, Dr. Cynthia is committed to walking alongside her clients with compassion and expertise.

Loss or Grief
Mayme Siders
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have been a Certified Grief Specialist in the past. It is important to note that Grief and loss work is not limited to death of loved ones. It can also center around breakups, the loss of pets, job and career loss, serious health issues, the ending of friendships, or any unexpected and unchosen life change. I enjoy helping people navigate these difficult areas and supporting them through them.

Loss or Grief
Cole Johnson
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
We are familiar with the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. However, grief is not a "linear" process. We often fluctuate between stages and timelines are always unique to the situation and person. To navigate the maze of grief requires compassion, understanding, and insight. Therapy allows a space for someone to talk honestly and openly about their grief, as the answer to sadness is in the feelings of sadness itself. I offer a safe and nonjudgemental space for one to process personal losses and grief, and work toward meaningful acceptance at their own pace.

Loss or Grief
Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief is such a unique and individual experience. Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, loss of a relationship, friend, family member, or job, loss can be a profound experience. Through therapy, you will have a safe space to explore these feelings. There is no right way to grieve and many people have a myriad of feelings that go along with the grief, including anger, guilt, shame, sadness, regret, or relief. We can explore all of these while you learn some coping skills to better manage your loss.
