Cadence Giles

If you are navigating grief in any of its forms, whether from a traumatic or stigmatized loss, a loss connected to substance use, or a non-death loss like chronic illness, identity shifts, or separation, I can help. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, or misunderstood by those who expect you to simply “move on.” In our work together, you'll have a space where your story is honored, your connection to what or who you've lost is respected, and healing does not mean forgetting. My goal is to offer compassion, validation, and gentle guidance as you make sense of how grief is shaping your daily life and sense of self. I offer person-centered, trauma-informed grief counseling grounded in harm-reduction principles. Together, we will explore your unique grief experience, build coping skills, and find ways to stay connected to what matters most to you. I integrate expressive approaches like writing or art and provide education to help normalize the many faces of grief. Grief can feel isolating, but you do not have to carry it alone. I would be honored to support you with warmth, curiosity, and a deep respect for your story. If you’re ready to explore your grief at your own pace and in your own way, let’s take that step together. Specialties: I specialize in working with all types of grief. This could include traumatic loss, non-death loss such as divorce or illness, anticipatory grief (grieving someone before they are gone) or anything else that feels like grief to you. I am also skilled in the treatment of PTSD and C-PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Credentials & Experience: Anticipated licensure (LCMHC): Spring 2026
