Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief isn’t something you “get over”—it’s something you learn to carry differently over time. In therapy, we help you process the emotional impact of loss, understand how it’s affecting your identity and relationships, and find support as you integrate what’s been lost while continuing to live.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Grief is not limited to death. It can emerge through changes in health, disability, chronic illness, neurodivergent discovery, relationships, estrangement, identity shifts, community loss, life transitions, unmet hopes, or futures that no longer look the way they once did. Grief can also arise alongside relief, freedom, anger, gratitude, clarity, and other emotions that do not always fit neatly into conventional understandings of loss.
My approach honors grief as a natural response to loving, caring, hoping, becoming, and being deeply connected to what matters. Together, we create space for mourning, remembrance, meaning-making, and the often nonlinear realities of loss. Rather than rushing toward acceptance or closure, therapy supports making room for the full complexity of grief while tending to the nervous system, honoring what has changed, carrying forward what remains meaningful, and discovering what it means to continue living alongside loss.

Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
While the loss of loved ones is a natural and normal part of life, loss that is unexpected, untimely, accidental, or drawn out, may lead to trauma for those left behind. The grief associated with such trauma can be debilitating and, perhaps even more challenging, isolating. Such grief can also have a cascading effect, leading to deeper depression, anxiety, fear, and maladaptive behaviors to address these overwhelming emotions. While grieving is natural and must run its course, I believe strongly that any loss can be helped through exploration of the corresponding emotions and behaviors with an objective and trusted therapist.
My approach to grief and loss is anchored in my own experience. Having lost most of my family over a very brief window of time, I know well the many emotions that accompany such unexpected and sudden loss. My treatment approach is a merger of my clinical skill set with a deeply empathetic ear, anchored in the coping mechanisms I personally deployed to help manage the many transitions through my own grief. In my work with my patients around loss and grief, I focus on navigating the negative emotions that can accompany loss (guilt, anger, hopelessness, overwhelming sadness) while, over time and when appropriate, jointly crafting with my patients a narrative that celebrates the life of those that have moved on, and facilitates the release of those emotions that can keep patients “stuck” in the trauma of unexpected loss.

Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The Foundational Statement of my approach to loss is this: 'Some things that I want, I can have if I work for them very diligently, or wait for them. But, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual health necessitates letting go of what I cannot have...by grieving it...and then embracing what I have left! It is true that Grief is the path to healing. Therapy can provide a safe place to land in the process of grief so that a person can come to healthy 'resolve' in their experience of loss.

While I work with all grief and loss issues, my primary specialty is working with parents who have lost a child. When a child dies, a parent's world is shattered. While nothing can take away the pain of losing a child, I assist bereaved parents in finding ways to help make their pain more bearable.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief and loss can affect every aspect of a person’s emotional life, relationships, identity, and sense of meaning. While grief is often associated with the death of a loved one, people may also experience profound grief related to divorce, relationship loss, health problems, infertility, spiritual change, life transitions, or the loss of hoped-for futures and identities.
I provide therapy for individuals navigating grief and loss with compassion, patience, and respect for the deeply personal nature of the grieving process. Therapy can help clients process painful emotions, make sense of complex reactions, navigate changes in identity and relationships, and gradually move toward healing while honoring the significance of what has been lost.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
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.
