Loss or Grief
Jennifer Nyhan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Everyone will lose a loved one at some point. It is an inescapable experience. Some losses, though, can leave you feeling untethered and uncertain how to put one foot in front of the next. I am here to help you manage emotions that feel overwhelming, tap into your strengths and coping skills, and work to develop new tools to help you cope and function after loss. I specialize in traumatic loss, which occurs when loss comes suddenly, and often violently. This type of loss leaves those left behind often dealing with both grief and trauma symptoms and responses. I work with individuals, families and groups to address both the trauma response as well as the grief. An often-overlooked loss is infertility. I help individuals and couples work through the stress, anxiety, depression, stigma, anger, and relationship strain that can result from the struggles to conceive.

Dan Fink
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
All change includes loss. We need to find ways to honor our past relationships and experiences. Losing a loved one, ending a relationship, or moving away from our childhood home - we need to make mindful choices about what we keep with us, in our hearts and minds. And we need space to let loss move through us.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In navigating the intricate landscape of grief, my practice acknowledges the myriad forms it can take—spanning from the acute pain of recent loss to the complex sorrow stemming from childhood trauma, ancestral burdens, and unmetabolized emotions carried through generations. Grief is not a monolith; it can emerge from the loss of a loved one, the ending of significant relationships, shifts in personal identity or life stages, and even the mourning of missed opportunities or unfulfilled dreams. My approach is dedicated to guiding individuals through these diverse expressions of grief, recognizing each journey as deeply personal and inherently transformative.
Providing a safe, nurturing environment, I encourage clients to explore the full spectrum of their grief. This exploration is not limited to the losses traditionally recognized by society but extends to the more subtle, often overlooked forms of grief that can deeply influence our lives. Through a tailored blend of therapeutic techniques, I focus on actively engaging with and processing grief in all its forms, facilitating a meaningful exploration of its origins and impact.
This comprehensive process involves addressing the emotional pain, understanding its roots—whether in recent events, childhood experiences, inherited family traumas, or burdens that aren't ours to bear—and beginning the healing process. By doing so, clients are empowered to reconcile with their past, understand the breadth of their experiences, and move toward a future marked by renewal and self-discovery.
My goal is to assist each individual in navigating their unique path through grief with empathy, insight, and respect for the myriad ways it can manifest. In embracing the full complexity of grief, we honor its potential for pain and transformation, viewing it not just as an obstacle, but as a profound opportunity for growth, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed connection to the essence of our being.

Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
Grief results from many types of loss. A loss can be the death of a loved one, a breakup, losing a job, or a change in financial security. We can also experience the loss of our identity, purpose, ability, or level of functioning. Everyday life events, such as moving, can involve adjusting to a new city, culture, or trying to make new friends. This can mean grieving the loss of a life we used to have.
In order to successfully grieve, we need create new meaning in our lives. However, certain things can get in the way of this process. These “stuck points” might include anger and resentment, guilt, seeing the lost person or thing as being “all good” or “all bad,” or having difficulty talking about the loss.
