A leading figure in the intersection of mental health, academia, and the death industry, she is a professor at Lewis & Clark College where she teaches on death, loss, and psycho-spiritual development. She holds a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and served on the board of The NW Association for Death Education and Bereavement Support for eight years now. As a death and grief educator and therapist, she is passionate about expanding the ways in which we engage in conversation around death and dying. I strongly believe that exploring one’s own grief and loss experiences and sharing those experiences in community with others can promote a healthier society. I’m the author of Choosing Light: Transforming Grief through the Practice of Mindful Photography and Self-Reflection and esteemed doctoral research, Mindful Photography and its Implications in End-of-life Caregiving: An Art-based Phenomenology. “I honor my grief experiences as wisdom gained when I host a Within and Without Mindful Photography reflection group or train a facilitator or teach courses on death and dying. Bit by bit, I contribute toward a systemic shift in our society where we can be more death accepting rather than death denying and where there is more access to social grief support rather than grief isolation.” — Jessica Thomas PhD. | Choosing Light Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/choosinglight Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjessicathomas/ LinkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessica-thomas-phd-lmft-8707b382/ Website: www.dr.jessicathomas.com ---------------------------------------------------- I'm Dr. Heather Taylor, a licensed, PsyPact psychologist based out of Washington state.

You can follow them @expanding_circles on Instagram. Navigating mental health struggles can feel lonely and be isolating. One of the reasons I believe that therapy works is the opportunity to provide a new and meaningful connection as the foundation on which to create long-lasting change. I work from a systemic and attachment-based lens. I understand our mental health struggles to be interconnected with many aspects of our past and current life circumstances and relationships. I want to work with you to identify any unhelpful patterns, learn new ways of interacting, and find meaning in your life story while looking toward the future with hope. I am especially passionate about mental health struggles in the LGBTQ+ community with a specific area of interest in processing religious experiences. For many in the community religion has been particularly harmful. Whether you choose to re-engage or disengage, I can walk alongside you to help you identify, evaluate, and deconstruct unhealthy and harmful patterns with the hope and goal of finding a sense of ease in relating to this chapter of your life. ------------------------------------------ I'm Dr. Heather Taylor, a licensed, PsyPact psychologist based out of Washington state.
