Grief Therapists in Spokane, WA

Whether you are having your first therapeutic experience or have been involved with the counseling world previously; it is important to find the right person to share this experience with. I am currently working with children, adolescents, adults and families with various mental health concerns. Some of my areas of specialization include trauma and abuse, grief/loss anxiety, and depression.

Cheryl Wright M.ED, LMHC, SUDP, NCC, MAC, I have been a therapist over 12 years working with individuals who are struggling with life. It may be mental health, addiction, grief or relationship issues. My goal is to help you begin a healing journey to a more balanced self. I believe we need someone to talk to who will listen, not judge and accept us where we are. I want you to have peace, hope and make the changes you desire. I use a variety of approaches including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Focused Therapy and Reality Therapy. I believe everyone deserves the very best and I tailor my approach to meet your needs.

I am not your conventional psychotherapist. My journey into the world of mental health is uniquely shaped by my background as a ski journalist and lived experiences of grief, loss, tragedy, and trauma. Driven by a desire to bridge my passion for storytelling with holistic healing, I use my sincere interest in the human experience in the therapy setting to treat adults, couples, and families living with shame, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, addiction, and life transitions and questions. As the Sufi poet Rumi once wrote, “The cure for pain is in the pain.”

Hi there! I specialize in helping people navigate the dark difficult edges of life. Darkness might express itself as depression, anxiety, persistent grief, a sense of isolation, suicidal thoughts, a feeling of being stuck, or... a whole mess of things unique to you. ​In therapy, we work together to build a container that can hold the inevitable fear that comes with exploring dark edges, and the rejected, heavy parts of ourselves that seem to keep getting in our way. It turns out, witnessing and caring for these troubled parts of ourselves, opens up possibility for deep joy, curiosity, emotional courage and life shifting compassion.

We all need support throughout our lives, and you may be looking for an additional resource to help you process lived experiences, problem-solve, or understand yourself in a deeper way. You may be struggling with anxiety, the challenges of caregiving, work stress and burnout, relationship challenges, or working through grief, loss, or bereavement. You want to engage in healthy coping skills and develop self-care habits to better support the vision you have for your life.

Immediate availability. When we meet, we'll focus on your needs and you'll be met with warmth. You'll feel supported in the courageous journey you're on. With me, topics that can feel uncomfortable do not feel uncomfortable. I have walked clients through talking about sex, relational discord, grief, and traumatic loss. Your emotional needs are valid, and to be known and seen are part of an enriching human experience; it would be an honor to meet you in such a way.

You're pretty much a survival-mode expert. You take pride in your robust ability to show up and take care of the shitty parts of life. You've managed and masked well until now. Suddenly your quirks have become magnified, old wounds re-triggered, and the shame and blame intensified; you can't hold it together much longer. Time’s passed and your ability to cope has too - only secretly.  You’ve got no one to talk to because you’ve convinced everyone you’re “fine”.  You escape to the bathroom to prevent overwhelm-induced public meltdowns. You are stuck, stagnant, and searching for yourself and where you belong...but where to start?

Now Accepting New Clients! You crave conversations about the universe, meaning, and purpose. You feel most alive and at peace while creating. Discussing the weather kills your soul a bit. People keep telling you you're in the "prime of your life" and you still have no idea wtf you're doing, and kinda feel like a hot mess. You also secretly wish that iced coffee you get every morning is just going to magically solve all your problems...I get it. Young adulthood, while exciting, can be kind of a mess and it sure isn't talked about enough. If you're needing a space to figure out where you want to go from here, shoot me a text.

I provide counseling services for children, youth, young adults, adults and families. I utilize a variety of orientations, methods and techniques, based on what is most appropriate for my clients at any given time. Together with clients I explore their unique selves, including their thoughts, feelings and experiences. My goal is to accompany them on their healing journey towards empowerment, greater self-awareness, knowledge and hope. I also aim to assist clients in identifying how their life experiences have helped make them the person they are and to recognize areas where they may have gotten stuck.

I am client-centered & appreciate a holistic view of each client (body, mind, spirit). My focus is traditional "talk therapy" with a strengths perspective that allows for clients' insight, and I use wisdom garnered from training in Native American spirituality, a study and practice of yoga, and Christianity. Some of my specialties are: depression, grief & loss, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and workplace issues, the GLBTQ community, and life transitions. I am a Certified Trauma Treatment Specialist.

Join me in a space of acceptance while going through your therapy experience, where we honor diversity within cultural backgrounds, neurodiversity, and expressions of gender and sexuality. Together, let’s explore how your identity, thought patterns and experiences shape your unique view of the world. I am dedicated to supporting individuals with cognitive differences, including ADHD, autism, and various disabilities, as well as serving the LGBTQ+ population. Additionally, I am passionate about guiding individuals through their personal grief journeys.

Life is a beautiful thing until one day you wake up to a nightmare. Feeling anger, anxious, betrayal, broken, defeated, loss, pain, or overwhelmed; unsure how to express your emotions or continue to live. Tired of hearing you are strong when in all actuality you feel yourself suffocating. I have been there and it is valid if you are too. A wise man once told me attack life's trials one nano second at a time and allow no one to take you out of your happy bubble. It's not the misery we face but the steps we take to overcoming those adversities to embrace your greatness. Healing is forever time to be free ReNana Your HeArt with me!

I am here for anyone who is struggling, looking for support, help, or personal exploration. My goal is to provide a safe space and an outside perspective with which to collaborate and problem solve. I identify as queer, and I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I work with people of all identities, genders, and relationship configurations. I recognize that each client is unique and therefore approach my work using a client-centered, strengths-based model to personalize treatment.
