Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
A loss of someone you love can change everything and prompt us to delve into the most existential internal searches. First and foremost, we need a safe space to process what happened, why it happened, and what now gives life meaning---especially if our feelings seem to shift from one minute to the next. This therapy gives you a place to get organized by talking about the ineffable, thereby moving toward accommodation, acceptance, and even moments of peace.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked with individuals (primarily adults) to help them manage aspects of loss and grief (neither of which is limited to death of a loved one) that are significantly impacting their functioning and well-being. I work with them to process their loss, and identify what it means to embrace the significance of the loss without letting that loss define them.

Robin Kaye Stilwell

Many life situations involve experiencing loss, not solely related to death. With any life transition or growth, there is a new chapter to face, which involves closing a previous chapter.

No matter what the transition is, my goal is to meet each patient where they are. We can encounter moments of excitement and devastation with healing and growth, even when change was not what we anticipated.

Kris O'Shee
Counselor/Therapist, MA in Counseling Psychology, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
We all experience loss at some time in our lives, but how we experience that loss--how we live with it--can be crucial to our continued emotional and physical health. Grief and mourning are natural responses to the painful loss of a loved one. I want to support you during your time of grief. I want to help you find ways to move through the loss, to move into a life in which you can discover new meaning, perhaps even joy. For life is precious, and hope is crucial to restoring and recovering from what may seem like endless sorrow. This process of healing can be approached through writing or drawing, through various spiritual practices, or simply through telling your story in therapy. I'm here to listen with empathy and compassion, and to be with you what can feel like the darkest of times.

Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Bereavement is the natural process you go through to mourn and accept a major loss. Grief is a natural emotional response to loss, and grief counseling can help people cope with it. I work with clients by explalining the stages of grief and strategies to recovery. Emotinal support and encouragement are also provided, and an opportunity to talk about their feelings of loss and share memories of their loved one.

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.
