Discover Healing and Hope After Loss

Grief can be an overwhelming and paralyzing experience. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, ended a significant relationship, or faced another profound loss, the weight of grief can feel unbearable. It’s common to feel stuck in a cycle of sadness, anger, and confusion, wondering if you’ll ever find relief.

Struggling with grief is a normal and shared human experience.

At Tempest Counseling, we offer somatic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and neuropsychology to help you find peace, regain control, and rebuild your life.

Grief Therapy With Tempest Counseling

At Tempest Counseling, we understand that healing from grief requires a compassionate and supportive approach. Our methods focus on building trust, creating safe spaces for emotional and physical healing, and offering continuous, empathetic support to guide you through your grief journey.

  1. Building Trust and Understanding: We start by creating a safe, compassionate environment where you can share your story openly. Our therapists listen without judgment, offering empathy and validation to help you feel heard and understood, establishing a strong foundation of trust for your healing journey.
  2.

Thomas Hanna is an amazing therapist. Truly, one of the best ones I have ever had. I fought to have him as my therapist because it was imperative that I had someone who was polyamorous just like me. He also gave amazing tips for reading materials on poly, attachment theories, and helped me cope with my anxiety and depression. He also has a cute cockerspaniel named Winnie who provided an abundance of serotonin each time she was present. If you want a therapist who will make you feel seen, heard, give you a loving but gentle sarcastic call out each time you do a "silly", and a puppy who will make you smile, choose Thomas. Thank you. Thank you for literally setting me free.

I am so deeply grateful for the work we've done together over the last 1.5 years, Thomas! You have been a HUGE gift and an incredibly significantly part of my healing team that got me through my miscarriages, fertility journey, subsequent marriage challenges and family dynamics I have needed to work through in this season. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Having a therapist who personally understand deconstruction was a game-changer for me! I cannot fully express my gratitude for your neutral, safe support as I processed through my faith, my release of of religious norms and found new mooring in this season. Thank you for doing what you do!

Thomas Hanna is a lifesaver, but he is way too humble to take any credit for it. I saw him weekly for debilitating anxiety, and now I am living life to the fullest thanks to him. He gave me tools to work with that actually helped. He made me see things from a view that I never would've seen before. He helped me understand my anxiety and not be afraid of it. He is the easiest person to talk to and open up to. Choosing him as a therapist was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I am forever grateful for him.

Thomas is the definition of a 11/10 therapist. He's a pleasure to talk to every single time. In our sessions, he always genuinely listens, and asks questions that had me re-consider my whole way of thinking.

Throughout our months working together, he's given me incredible points of view and mental models to consider situations from different angles. In doing so, he has changed my life.

It's been a pleasure working with you, Thomas!
