Grief and Loss Counseling in Berthoud, CO.

Loss is a hard reality of life. Grief isn’t something to “get over", it’s something your body and mind learn to live alongside. My approach helps you stay connected to what was lost while reclaiming vitality in the present. I work gently with the nervous system to metabolize pain rather than suppress it, allowing grief to transform from something that crushes you into something that deepens you. I've lost loved ones close to me and know firsthand how isolating and painful it is. Maybe you have felt like no one understands or wants to listen. I offer a compassionate, safe space for you to process loss and grief on your own terms.

Katie approaches grief and loss therapy with respect for the individuality of each client’s experience, recognizing that grief is complex and does not follow a linear process. She provides a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, thoughts, and reactions associated with loss without pressure to resolve or minimize them. Her work focuses on helping clients process grief, honor their loss, and develop adaptive ways to integrate it into their lives. Through a strengths-based, collaborative approach, Katie supports clients in building coping strategies, restoring a sense of stability, and identifying pathways toward meaning, connection, and emotional resilience at a pace aligned with their needs and readiness.

Grief doesn't magically disappear at a certain point after a loved one's death. If you feel like your grief is affecting you to an extreme level, or keeping you from living a productive life, it may be time to address your grief in a safe, supportive environment. Grief may overwhelm you with sadness, anger, loneliness, anxiety, fatigue, physical pain, or trouble sleeping. One of the most powerful ways to address bereavement is to talk about your loss with a counselor. Lee Lester has specific training and experience working with individuals who have experienced a loss.
