In addition to offering 1:1 counseling (both in person and online), we also facilitate workshops throughout the year for those who are moving through grief and loss. These gatherings offer a different kind of support, one that allows people to come together in person, feel held in community, and experience the power of shared space in the healing process.

There is a particular kind of grief carried by a mother who has lost a child. It holds a depth, tenderness, and longing that is uniquely its own, and it deserves to be met with gentleness, understanding, and care.

On Sunday May 3, we will gather at Sky Pond for a gentle workshop created for bereaved mothers, a place to slow down, breathe, reflect, and be held in the presence of others who understand this kind of loss.

Nestled in a peaceful cabin in the woods, this will be a safe and supportive space to honor your grief, experience meaningful connection, and care for your heart in a gentle and grounding way.

You do not have to carry it alone. 🤍

When children are hurting, they don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling… and they need support that’s designed specifically for them.

Grief, anxiety, and big life changes can show up in ways that are confusing… not just for them, but for the people who love them most.

That’s where Allyson (Ally) Mattingly, LCSWA meets her clients.

Ally specializes in supporting children, teens, and young adults navigating grief, anxiety, and major life transitions, with a strong focus on helping younger clients feel safe, understood, and able to express what they’re going through.

As our practice continues to grow, Ally provides dedicated support for children experiencing grief, helping families navigate loss in a way that is developmentally appropriate, compassionate, and grounded in real connection.

Her approach integrates creative, expressive methods including art, movement, and narrative work, allowing children to process emotions in ways that don’t rely only on words.

This is especially important for younger clients who may feel overwhelmed, shut down, or unsure how to communicate what’s happening inside.

Ally creates a space where children and teens can begin to make sense of their experiences, build emotional regulation skills, and feel more grounded during times of change.

For parents walking alongside a child through grief or emotional overwhelm, having the right support can make all the difference.

🗓️ Ally is currently scheduling new patients.

🌿 If you’ve been wondering how to best support your child, teen, or young adult, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

There are some people who step into this work because they studied it.

And then there are those who step into it because they’ve lived it, carried it, and understand what it means to search for healing on the other side of loss.

That is part of what shaped Nola Metz Simpson, M.S.Ed., MPA, LCMHC, founder of the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing.

Nola’s heart for this work is both deeply personal and professionally grounded. With decades of leadership in healthcare, advanced training in grief and trauma, and her own lived experience with loss, she brings a rare depth to the way she supports others.

She is trained in Prolonged Grief Therapy and EMDR, and continues to pursue advanced education to better serve individuals navigating complex grief, trauma, and life’s most difficult transitions.

Nola believes that while suffering is part of the human experience, it does not have to last forever. With the right support, it is possible to find peace, meaning, and even joy again.

She is passionate about creating a space where grief is not rushed or dismissed, but honored, witnessed, and gently worked through.

“I’ve walked through my own grief, and I know how heavy it can feel. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to carry it by yourself.”

🗓️Nola is now accepting new clients with immediate availability, in person and online.

🌿 If you’ve been struggling to get unstuck or trying to make sense of loss, you don’t have to do it alone.

Sometimes people look like they’re holding it together on the outside…
while feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or deeply unsettled on the inside.

That’s where Liz Enck, LCSW meets her clients, with steadiness, compassion, and a space that feels safe enough to begin.

Liz works with adolescents and adults navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, and life transitions. She helps clients slow down, understand what’s happening in their mind and body, and begin rebuilding a sense of stability and self-trust.

Her approach blends evidence-based modalities like EMDR, CBT, and IFS with a deeply human, collaborative style. She meets each person where they are, honoring their pace while gently supporting forward movement.

Liz brings not only clinical skill, but also a grounded presence shaped by her experience walking alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most vulnerable and tender moments.

Healing doesn’t mean rushing past pain.
It means having the right support while moving through it.

🗓️Liz is now accepting new clients with immediate availability, in person and online.

🌿If you’ve been carrying something heavy or navigating a difficult season, support is available.

Grief doesn’t look the same at every stage of life.

A child may not have the words.
A teen may try to carry it alone.
An adult may feel like they’re expected to hold everything together.

But underneath it all… the need is the same.

To be seen.
To be understood.
To have a place where it’s safe to process, heal, and grow.

At the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing, we’ve been growing… intentionally.

So we can better support children, teens, and adults walking through grief, trauma, and life’s most difficult seasons.

And more importantly, so that no one has to navigate it alone.

Over the next few days, we’ll be introducing the people behind this work…
the hearts and hands walking alongside our clients every day.

If you or someone you love is struggling, we are here.

When Should a Child or Teen See a Therapist?

Children and adolescents sometimes express emotional distress in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. Instead of talking directly about their feelings, changes in behavior, mood or school performance may signal that something deeper is going on.

Parents may consider seeking additional support when a child or teen experiences:

• persistent anxiety or excessive worry
• frequent emotional outbursts or difficulty calming down
• sudden changes in behavior or mood
• difficulty focusing or completing schoolwork
• behavioral challenges at home or school
• withdrawal from friends or activities
• sleep changes or nightmares
• ongoing sadness or irritability
• difficulty adjusting to family changes such as divorce or relocation
• grief following the loss of someone important

Reaching out for support does not mean something is “wrong.” Therapy can provide a safe space for children and teens to talk about their experiences, learn healthy coping skills and help families better understand how to support them.

At the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing, we are grateful to have Faye Caraballo, LPA supporting children, adolescents and families through anxiety, behavioral challenges, grief and life transitions. Faye works with children as young as age three and provides compassionate, developmentally informed care for both young people and their parents.

Sometimes a little extra support can make a meaningful difference in helping children and teens feel understood, supported and resilient.

When Families Change: Helping Children Through the Loss of Divorce

Divorce or separation can be one of the most significant changes a child experiences. Even when parents handle the transition thoughtfully, children often feel a deep sense of loss as their family structure changes.

Children may grieve the loss of familiar routines, the experience of both parents living in the same home or the sense of stability they once knew. Because children often lack the language to express these feelings, grief related to divorce may appear in other ways.

Parents may notice:

• increased anxiety or clinginess
• irritability or emotional outbursts
• difficulty concentrating at school
• behavioral changes at home or school
• feelings of guilt or self-blame
• withdrawal from activities or friendships

Children benefit greatly when they are reassured that the divorce is not their fault and when they have a safe space to talk about their feelings.

At the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing, Faye Caraballo, LPA works with children and families navigating life transitions such as divorce, separation and other major changes. Through developmentally informed therapy and parent guidance, she helps children process difficult emotions and develop healthy coping skills.

Family transitions can be challenging, but with support, children can adapt and continue to grow with resilience and confidence.

How Children Experience Grief

Children often experience loss very differently than adults. While adults may expect sadness or tears, children frequently express grief through changes in behavior, irritability, difficulty concentrating or even regression.

It’s also common for children to move in and out of grief. One moment they may be playing or laughing, and the next they may ask difficult questions or express sadness. This is a natural way for children to process overwhelming emotions in manageable pieces.

Some signs that a child may be struggling with grief include:

• increased clinginess
• sleep changes or nightmares
• irritability or anger
• difficulty concentrating at school
• withdrawal from activities they once enjoyed
• sudden behavior changes

Children benefit most when they feel safe asking questions, expressing their feelings and knowing they are not alone in their experience.

At the Center for Loss, Grief, Hope & Healing, we are grateful to have Faye Caraballo, LPA supporting children and families navigating grief, life transitions and emotional challenges. With more than 20 years of experience working with children, Faye provides compassionate, developmentally informed therapy for children as young as age three.

If your child is struggling after the loss of someone important, professional support can help them process their feelings and develop healthy coping skills.
