Loss or Grief
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.

Unfortunately, we live in an age of excess uncertainty due to violence, natural disaster, disease, war and various health issues. Loss of loved ones or others close to us can lead to uncomplicated or complicated grief. I help clients accept and process the emotions and life changes caused by unexpected or anticipated loss.

Loss or Grief
Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
There is really no way to fully prepare for death; less so when loss is sudden and unexpected. Many people feel a range of emotions - and those emotions may change over time or even moment by moment: shock, confusion, anger, denial, relief, emptiness, deep sadness, loneliness, isolation, fatigue, just to name a few. Sometimes loss is missing someone dear to us, and sometimes loss is more complicated. There is no correct way to grieve. But we can look at the ways in which our own minds can increase our suffering so that we can learn to be with grief and loss in a way that allows fully honoring our experiences, as well as taking steps forward in your life in a way that is in line with your chosen values. I offer a safe place where is OK to feel your feelings, however messy or confusing. I also will be on your journey to help you find rituals for honoring your loss that are special to you and your unique relationship with who you have lost.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a compassionate sanctuary for those navigating the profound and often turbulent waters of loss and grief. I understand that grief is not a linear journey but a complex tapestry of emotions that can engulf one's life. With a gentle and empathetic approach, I walk beside you through this journey, honoring your unique experience of loss. Together, we explore the depths of sorrow, seeking to understand and embrace the myriad feelings that come with bereavement. It's a path towards healing, not about moving on, but about finding a way to carry your loss with grace, integrating this profound experience into your life, and rediscovering a sense of wholeness and peace amidst the echoes of what was lost.
