Work With Us

WHAT Grief & Loss THERAPY in St. Petersburg, FL LOOKS LIKE WITH ME

A space to truly be yourself- no pretending, performing, or having to have it all together.

A place where whatever you’re feeling is welcome - grief, anger, confusion, relief, sadness, or even not knowing what you feel.

Genuine, honest support - compassionate, but also real. I’ll meet you where you are while offering thoughtful insight and perspective.

Understanding what you’re going through - making sense of loss, change, relationships, and the emotions that can come with life transitions.

Practical and emotional support -not just talking about what’s hard but finding ways to navigate what’s happening in your life.

Space to move at your own pace, while gently challenging the patterns or beliefs that may be keeping you stuck.

A place to find your footing again as you adjust to what has changed and begin to discover what comes next.

Meet Nishauna, LCSW

Grief, Loss & life transitions Therapist in St. Petersburg, FL

Hi, I’m Nishauna. I help adults navigate loss and life transitions so they can make sense of what’s changed, rediscover who they are, and create a life that feels meaningful and authentic to them.

This work is important to me because I’ve known for years that my purpose is to help people, and being able to work within my purpose by helping you is incredibly meaningful to me.

I show up with empathy, compassion, and genuine understanding as you navigate loss and major life changes. My hope is to help you reconnect with yourself, rediscover what matters, and create a life that feels meaningful again. Not by forgetting what you’ve lost, but by learning how to carry it while making room for what comes next.
