Bereavement Specialists
David Kessler
David Kessler is one of the world’s foremost experts on healing and loss. His experience with thousands of people on the edge of life and death has taught him the secrets to living a happy and fulfilled life.
Alan Wolfelt
Alan has been recognized as one of North America’s leading death educators, authors and grief counselors. His compassionate messages about healing in grief—based on his own personal losses as well has his professional experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families over the last three decades—speak not only to the intellect but to the hearts of all who hear him. Perhaps best known for his model of “companioning” versus “treating” mourners, Dr. Wolfelt is committed to helping people mourn well so they can live well and love well.
Founder and Director of the Center for Loss and Life Transition, Dr. Wolfelt presents numerous educational workshops each year for hospices, hospitals, schools, universities, funeral homes, community groups, and a variety of other organizations. He also teaches the bereavement caregiver trainings described on this website in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado.

Linda Carlos
My areas of specialty are trauma recovery and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), including events involving death, assault, deployment, and accidents. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and have completed training approved by the EMDR International Association. EMDR is a very effective method for healing traumas of any kind and is also used with correcting negative beliefs (lies) about ourselves that have hindered us from living fulfilled lives. It is wonderful to see concrete results and relief for many of my clients almost immediately.http://creeksidetherapists.com/linda-e-carlos-m-a-mft/

Kristina Albright, Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee
Community Counseling Associates
I help my clients gain greater insight into themselves and assist them in developing coping strategies to overcome challenges. I am interested in working with clients from every background who are struggling with stress, grief, loss, anxiety, depression, life transitions, or anything else that keeps them from feeling like the best version of themselves. To sit with someone in their hardest times is an honor and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to provide support and guidance when they reach out for help. I am passionate about serving others, especially first responders, front line workers and those suffering from the effects of trauma. As a founding Peer Support Team Member of a local first responder non-profit organization, I have seen the healing that occurs and how hope can grow, even in the face of unbearable pain. In addition to my work with first responders, I have been involved in women’s ministry for more than 15 years and served in numerous capacities with youth ministry from infant care through high school.
