Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.

Did you grow up in a controlling, high-demand religious environment? The adverse experiences in this type of setting can lead to feeling like you don't know who you are or what you believe. You may feel torn apart, like there are multiple versions of you in different settings. This can affect the way you treat romantic partners, coworkers, and authority figures. You may also feel conflicted about your identity, your sexuality, and even your body.

My mission is to help clients transform their pain into an opportunity for self-discovery, healing and empowerment, to ultimately reclaim their voice, purpose, and self-worth. I compassionately welcome individuals who feel silenced, disconnected, overwhelmed, lost, or that they "don't belong" as well as people who have experienced emotional abuse, physical abuse or struggle with negative body image and a harsh inner critic.

My clients come from all walks of life. Most often I work with trans folks, other people in the LGBTQ community, and those who are part of the kink, poly, non-monogamous, or other sex positive communities. It is important to me to provide a space where someone doesn't need to explain their life or face judgement to improve their access to needed care.

Most of us struggle to see outside the box of our immediate struggles, which causes self-doubt and hopelessness. We often need an objective guide to hold a mirror up to our problem and see it from a different perspective. My clients usually struggle with anxiety and/or depression due to relationships, difficult adjustments, trauma, shame, or stigma. Through counseling, my clients increase their self-worth and discover the courage to take control of their lives.

Acknowledging that you might be in over your head isn't weak, it's wise. If you’ve tried everything you can think of to feel better, but your mind still attacks you or relationships always seem to go sour or you never quite feel at ease even when everything's OK, maybe it's time to look a little deeper. It's not that cutting off toxic people or upping your cardio won't help, because they probably will! But sometimes the wound goes deeper than that or the situation you're in is just too much.

Many of my clients tend to be queer, young adults who have experienced childhood trauma and are prepared to begin the healing journey, or perhaps pickup where they may have previously left off. I also work with queer folks who have had negative, abusive, or toxic experiences within church/religion because of their gender or sexuality. This is certainly not an exclusive list but meant to provide insight into where my passion and expertise lie.

Certified in Perinatal Mental Health, I guide couples and individuals through the transformative journey of welcoming new life.

Beyond the perinatal period, I help clients enhance communication and navigate neurodivergency.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am accepting new clients who can pay out of pocket and are willing to do a free consultation to assess our match. Also, I am diversifying my career and I AM taking clients as a trauma writing mentor/editor and more. Writing your way through healing, in my view, is at least of equal value to psychotherapy. If you are interested in these services, please visit me at Eli Hastings, Storyteller www.elihastings.com). I would be DELIGHTED to work in tandem with other therapists!
