Calm Waters sends this information as posted below:


OKLAHOMA CITY – Calm Waters’ private counseling clinic, dedicated to compassionate and specialized mental health care, is proud to announce the expansion of its grief support services to better meet the diverse needs of the community.

Originally founded to provide individualized support to children and adults grieving due to the loss of a loved one from death, infertility, pregnancy loss, and anticipated loss, Calm Waters is broadening its scope to recognize and respond to the many forms of grief that people experience throughout their lives.

Effective immediately, the clinic will also offer specialized grief counseling for individuals navigating:

  • Incarceration-related grief
  • Military deployment–related separation
  • Adoption-related grief
  • Foster care transitions
  • Deportation-related separation
  • Cultural bereavement and loss of homeland

“Grief is not limited to experiences of death. It shows up in many profound and often misunderstood ways,” said Trisha Koelsch, Chief Executive Officer of Calm Waters. “By expanding our services in our counseling clinic, we aim to make sure more people feel seen, supported, and accompanied through their unique healing journeys.”

The clinic accepts insurance and provides a sliding‑scale fee structure for uninsured individuals and those covered by Medicaid, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent access to high‑quality mental health care.

This expansion complements the organization’s long-standing commitment to free, community‑based grief support. Calm Waters continues to offer free support groups for children and adults experiencing grief due to death or divorce at the Calm Waters Center. Additionally, students across the Oklahoma City metro have access to free school‑based support groups that address all types of grief, including death, divorce, incarceration, foster care, deployment, and other significant losses.
