Grief
Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing grief and loss, whether related to the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, changes in health, or other significant life transitions. Grief can show up in many ways, including sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, or a sense of disorientation. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and everyone’s process looks different.
In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore your experience at your own pace. Together, we work to make sense of the emotions that arise, honor what has been lost, and find ways to stay connected to meaning and relationships while you heal. For some clients, grief is complicated by trauma, unresolved relationships, or multiple losses over time.
The goal of our work is not to rush the grieving process or force closure, but to help you carry your loss in a way that allows for continued growth, connection, and a sense of stability moving forward.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Loss is an integral but often unwelcome part of life and love. Consciously navigating loss in painful life experiences is important. The process of effectively letting go when life requires you to do so can help you to move forward in your life.

Douglairian psychology apc
Marriage and Family Therapist, Lmft
I specialize in grief counseling. Losing a loved one is always difficult, and processing that grief is a non-linear journey that involves adapting to a "new reality" while honoring what was lost. Whether you are grieving a death, a relationship, or another major life change, my focus is on helping you move from surviving to growing.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Loss & Grief: Experiencing loss can feel disorienting, painful, and deeply isolating. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, a major life transition, or a version of life you thought you would have, grief can show up as sadness, numbness, anger, confusion, exhaustion, or waves of emotion that feel unpredictable and overwhelming.
As a therapist, I provide a compassionate and grounded space to help you move through grief at your own pace. Together, we make space for your emotions without rushing the process, while gently helping you understand how loss is impacting your mind, body, relationships, and sense of identity. You don’t have to carry it alone or “get over it” to move forward.
This work is about honoring what you have lost while slowly rebuilding a sense of meaning, connection, and stability. Over time, grief becomes something you learn to carry with more integration, allowing you to stay connected to what mattered while still re-engaging with life.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Loss is inevitable and timeless - grief is not. A large portion of his journey was working with Zen Hospice, and helping individuals and families deal with loss and transform their grief into something else. It is a journey best not walked alone, and the practice is walking through the middle, and learning that it will pass.

IEMT Trauma Therapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht., NLP, I.E.M.T., B.T.P, Adv-EFT., CBT Specialist
While IEMT doesn’t remove the love, it can soften the sharp edges of grief. It helps you gently separate pain from memory, so healing can begin without forgetting.
Guilt
When guilt lingers, it often loops in the background, coloring your daily decisions. IEMT helps dissolve the emotional charge so you can acknowledge the past without being weighed down by it.
Shame
Shame is one of the deepest emotional imprints and often tied to identity. IEMT allows you to revisit those memories without pain, helping you release shame and restore a sense of worth.
Remorse
IEMT gently clears the sting of regret without erasing the lesson. It allows the emotional burden to lift so that self-forgiveness and forward movement become possible.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
As an existential therapy, I always say "to exist is to grieve". Grief is a part of life. It's not just about death, but any loss or transition that we go through. Something that once was, is no longer anymore, is a constant in life, therefor, grief is a constant part of life. Grief is one of the most painful emotions we as humans have to learn how to navigate, because we can't change it, we can't fix it, we can't make it go away. We feel the powerlessness in us. Therapy is not about "fixing" the loss but about helping individuals navigate the profound changes that come with it, offering support as they find a new, manageable way to move forward. Grief therapy is a specialized, supportive counseling process that helps individuals process the emotional, physical, and psychological impact of loss. It aims to help people accept the reality of the loss, navigate intense emotions like guilt or anger, adjust to life, and build long-term resilience rather than just "moving on".

Grief can be debilitating and complicated. Feeling alone with this can be very isolating. Having a witness to the grieving process provides a holding environment that helps someone get through it.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Grief, if ignored, can disrupt your mood, sleep, concentration, and slow your life down to a halt. Whether your grief is from the loss of a loved one, tragic loss from a fire or crime, the end of a relationship, changes in your health or something else, therapy can help you skillfully navigate it at your own pace. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that help you avoid emotional spirals related to heartbreak and loss. You can learn to hold it all in a way that allows you to find some peace and move forward.

Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Grief and love are different sides of the same coin. We cannot have one without the other. Navigating and feeling grief is a big part of my work. Whether you come to therapy in a time of loss and grief or not, it ultimately surfaces within our work together. I do not believe that grief always has an ending, but we can most certainly work on forming a relationship with it, feeling it in a safe space, and learning how to navigate its tides. When people share their grief with me, it is a true honor to hold. Rae Therapy Group has a few specialized grief therapists, and a grief group.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline—and it often hides beneath the surface, especially for those who are used to staying strong for others. Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a version of your life you once knew, therapy offers a space to move through the pain with support, presence, and care. You don’t have to grieve alone—or silently.

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.
