Any significant loss in life requires a process for grieving. Sometimes it's hard to accept those losses, and we find ourselves stuck in suffering. This results in complicated grief that interferes with our ability to function.

Loss or Grief
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Grief is the pain that is naturally felt when a loss occurs. The loss can be from the death of a loved one or pet, the loss of a job or a friendship, or even a sense of lost safety after a traumatic event. Feelings of Grief and Loss happen to everyone and can.
The stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and, finally, acceptance – they tend to happen in this order but that is not always the case. In fact, depression from a loss may occur years after the loss itself. It is important for individuals to work through the emotions following grief as they are necessary and normal.
However, if the anger, isolation, or depression do not pass within a reasonable amount of time then professional support may be needed. If the pain is so constant and severe that everyday life cannot be resumed, it could be a condition called “complicated grief” or the individual could have fallen into a clinical depression. A psychotherapist can evaluate and treat these conditions so a healthy life can be regained.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in loss and grief, my treatment approach is grounded in empathy, validation, and support. Through compassionate listening and validation of emotions, I create a safe space for individuals to express their feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion associated with their loss. Utilizing techniques from grief therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I help clients navigate the grieving process, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop coping strategies to manage their emotions. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the stages of grief and normalize the range of emotions experienced during mourning. Collaboration with clients may also involve exploring rituals or activities that honor the memory of the deceased and facilitate healing. My goal is to accompany individuals on their journey through grief, fostering resilience, meaning-making, and eventual adaptation to life without their loved one.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
Grief is so different for everyone. There is no "right" way to grieve. I'll hold space for you to process your loss and validate what YOU are feeling and going through. When the time comes to think about moving forward, I can help you explore what makes sense to you. I won't judge your thoughts, or work to make you feel better by pushing you to speed grief along. No, I'll respect your journey and provide you the support you need.
