Loss or Grief therapists in West Los Angeles, California CA
COPE Psychological Center
Psychologist, PhD
Loss and grief are inevitable and learning how to wade through the treacherous waters of it is often times necessary for our survival. Part of the grief process is learning how to move through the various stages of grief and sitting with the uncomfortable emotions. Unfortunately, there is not always a fix to it, but perhaps we can change our relationship with the loss so it sits in our hearts a bit differently.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Loss and Grief are painful and we all at some point in our lives share this experience. Relief can come from having a witness to our pain and working through difficult emotions. Together we can begin the healing process and take steps to feel supported and not alone.

Laura Katz
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
There is no one way to experience grief and loss. While universal, the pain of loss can be devastating. We may feel anger, sadness, shock, guilt, relief, loneliness, numbness (just to name a few) and endless combinations of these. I will help you process these difficult emotions in a safe, nonjudgemental space, helping guide you toward a greater understanding of “how to rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered.” (Quote from Elisabeth Kübler-Ross)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Losing a loved one to suicide is a traumatic experience that turns your world upside down. Suicide brings shock, grief, heartbreak, and pain. Feelings of denial, anger, guilt, yearning or despair wash over you and can get in the way of daily life; leaving you feeling hopeless about the future. Each day you struggle, wading through the fog and aftermath, feeling overwhelmed by day to day tasks. You’re exhausted mentally, physically, emotionally and find yourself unexpectedly triggered by thoughts and memories.
Maybe you wish you would have had more time together, or you feel regret for setting boundaries in your relationship, only to have it come to this end. Each day you wake asking yourself if it was all a dream, only to remember it wasn’t and tumble right back into feelings of sadness and despair.
Compassionate grief counseling creates a space where you can unpack and sort through the overwhelming feelings of grief. We’ll work together to build a path and a culture of healing that works best for you, and the fog you’re feeling will begin to lift. You’ll start to sleep and eat again. The pain and misery will ease, and making decisions get easier, life will become more manageable in the day to day. In time, you will feel stronger, be able to renew relationships and find new ways to move through life while honoring your loved one.
