Losses We help with…

Losing a loved one is hard. Losing them in an unexpected, sudden and traumatic way…there are no words for this. We have worked with clients with losses due to suicide, homicide, child drownings, public mass trauma, medical malpractice and accidental overdoses. Kelley is able to help you work through the shock and disbelief, process the loss and figure out where to go from here. 

Just because you were aware does not make it any easier. Your grief is real, validated and honored. Our therapists can help you work through grief at your own pace along with respect, honor and rememberance. We have seen clients for terminal illness, disease and chronic medical conditions resulting in the loss of your loved one, 

A mental health professional who loses a client suddenly and unexpectedly can be a challenging and heartbreaking  experience. As a “helper”, there can be a deep sense of grief without the ability and openness to process the loss publicly. 

Losses that lacks clear resolution or understanding. This can be a physical or psychological loss, where the person is physically absent or present however their mental state is unclear or uncertain.  This can present a sense of closure and prolonged grief. 

Pregnancy loss and infertility can be an extremely painful and challenging. It’s not uncommon to feel a profound sense of grief and sadness without a way to obtain closure. We provide a safe space to process what was lost, hoped for and the uncertainty of the future. 

Grief experiences that are not openly acknowledged, socially mourned or publicly supported, can complicate the grief process. There may be a loss of a loved one you are not related to, an ex-partner,  colleague or friend. Also losses can be disenfranchised by the method of how they died such as suicide, overdoses or lung related cancers. We understand that loss cannot be measured in these ways but how much the person was cared about. 

Sometimes our pets have been our closest or only friends. They deserve to be honored for their unconditional love, devotion and limited time here. We can help you process this loss when others don’t always understand they  were your family. 

Life brings us a chance to rediscover ourselves. Life transitions often move us closer to our authentic self and wholeness. This could be how we identify sexually,  our life choices or a connection in how we see the world. This can come with grief and we turn the pages on our new chapter despite knowing it is best for us. 

Relationship loss is hard. You imagine and plan a future together only to now realize it’s turned upside down.We can help you with loss over the relationship, understanding what happened and where to go from here in your new life. 

Our core family is portrayed as our stable unit, part of our history and heritage. This is where we learn about ourselves, our identify and where we are supported into adulthood. Sometimes our families are not healthy for us and we have to learn what this means for our future, how to handle the loss of changes in the family and move forward. 

Our homes are often considered our safe haven. Our jobs are part of our identity. Moving to an unfamiliar town brings uncertainty and instability. We have got you while you walk through what’s next and grieve what was left behind.

This common experience is often associated with aging, illness or disability and can be a painful and fearful process. This produces a loss of control and autonomy in taking care of your needs and yourself. We can help you through this and support you so you can feel more control in your life.
