In grief and loss therapy, I work with you to honor and explore the stories that connect you to your loved one or the experience you have lost. Rather than seeing grief as something to “move on” from, we work to respect and integrate the relationship you hold with your memories, allowing them to have a place in your life. Together, we’ll re-author your story of loss to include your resilience, values, and the meaningful legacies that endure, helping you find ways to re-engage with life in a way that feels authentic to you.

The process of grieving is complex. There are several types of grief other than the death of a loved one. There is no "right or wrong" way to move through this painful process. There is no time frame for healing so our time together will be based on your personal experience and process of healing. My goal is to meet you where you are and facilitate healing in a safe & trusting environment.

Grief is a powerful and unique process. There are numerous examples of how grief and loss can show up in your life, but often grief is in response to a deep and profound loss that you have experienced. This can show up as losing your loved one; your spouse, your close friend, your colleague, your beloved pet, or it can be the loss of your job, your marriage, your relationship, your home, or some other aspect of your identity. Love, patience, and compassion are vital to your grief process. Being able to navigate your grief process on your own can be overwhelming and that is when it is helpful to have someone to work with to support you and help you heal by being a witness to your process.

Grief Counselor

Karen Thacker, MS, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

In 80026 - Nearby to Derby.

There can be intense emotional pain associated with grief and loss. Sometimes we use unhealthy means of numbing the pain. My goal is to assist you in allowing yourself to go through the grieving process and get to the other side. When we experience a loss, grieving is the natural way of letting go of that which we can no longer have and allow space within us to open up to things we can have. This does not mean we forget or discard the person, item or situation we have lost but that we put things into a productive perspective. Therapeutic approaches: client-centered, relaxation techniques, emotion regulation, skill building and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

In 80246 - Nearby to Derby.

Life can be seen as a series of losses. We do not suffer because of these losses, but because we do not know how to deal with the losses in healthy ways. Pain is part of life and pain needs to be embraced and understood. Grief is a normal response to loss. It takes us on a jouney of self-discovery and personal renewal. It is when we deny, minimize and run away from the uncomfortable feelings that flow from losses that we create our own internal problems. I can help you find the courage to face the pain of loss and disappointments. That will enable you will grow through the difficult parts and become a more fully alive person.
