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.

Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Emotional experiences of sadness or anger and other behavioral changes can arise as the result of a loss. People can get a better understanding of what they are going through and help prevent and reduce prolonged undesirable effects in their lives through counseling when grief/bereavement has affected them. Even though it is normal to feel sad after a loss, when the sadness prolongs and starts affecting one's ability to return to the previous level of daily functioning, it is advisable to seek help from trained professionals to prevent worsening of symptoms, such as developing depression.

Grief
Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Death. The most universal of life experiences. So why are we afraid to talk about it? We use euphemistic language in an effort to . . . what exactly? Does imagining her in “a better place” take the pain away? What do we say when children ask if they can visit this place, or when the deceased will return home? And then the casseroles and phone calls taper off. Always too soon. Then people stop asking, as though their questions will bring her to mind and cause you to suffer. Don’t they know you think of her every day?
Grief doesn’t ever really go away; it changes over time. Just when you think you are coping better with the loss, the holidays arrive, or the one-year anniversary hits, and there you are, overwhelmed by difficult emotions once again. I would be honored to sit alongside you on this difficult, and often lonely, journey.

Grief
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Grief and loss are not limited to death and often follow divorce, infertility, illness, addiction, estrangement, identity shifts, or the loss of a future someone expected to have. Death brings its own weight, confronting people with finality, unanswered questions, and the reality that life has been permanently altered. I work with grief by helping clients make room for what has been lost without rushing closure, while supporting them in integrating the loss into their lives in a way that preserves meaning and connection to the present.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and I believe there is no one “right” way to move through it. In my work with grief and loss, I create space for the full range of emotions that may arise—whether that includes sadness, numbness, anger, confusion, or even relief. I focus on helping you stay connected to your own process at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we explore ways to honor both the significance of what’s been lost and your experience in the aftermath. Through somatic awareness, reflection, and supportive presence, we work to make room for grief rather than rush past it—so it can move with you, not against you.

When Loss Changes Everything
Grief isn’t just about death — it’s about all the moments when life changes in ways we didn’t choose. The end of a relationship, a shift in health, the loss of a loved one, or even a transition that brings both relief and sadness can leave us feeling disoriented and alone. Grief is not a problem to fix. It’s a natural, healthy process — but it can feel unbearable when you’re living through it. You may notice waves of emotion that come without warning, moments of guilt or anger, or times when you wonder if you’ll ever feel “normal” again.
I’ve worked in the field of grief and bereavement for over a decade, supporting people as they navigate the complex mix of emotions that come with loss. Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, I’ll help you make space for your feelings while also building tools to:
Process guilt, regret, and “what ifs” that can keep you stuck
Understand and normalize the changing rhythms of grief
Reconnect with moments of peace, purpose, and meaning
Honor your loss while rediscovering your capacity for joy and connection
Grief is deeply personal, and healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means learning to live fully while carrying your memories with love. Together, we’ll move gently between sorrow and strength, always at your pace.
I BELIEVE:
Grief is love that has nowhere to go — and it deserves compassion, not correction.
There’s no right timeline for healing. You’re allowed to take your time.
Sadness and hope can coexist; they often do.
Meaning can be rebuilt, even after profound loss.
Healing grows in spaces of safety, warmth, and shared humanity.

Allison Pichardo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief is a part of life we all have to go through. When we are grieving we need connection and understanding because grief can be so isolating. If you are feeling alone in your grief, I would love to help you find the understanding and nurturing you need to navigate your grief process.

Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing loss can be one of life’s most difficult challenges. Grief brings a complex mix of emotions that can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any significant life change, it is important to find a way to process your feelings in a supportive environment.
As a compassionate counselor, I provide a safe and understanding space to help you explore your grief, honor your emotions, and gradually find a path toward acceptance and renewal. Each person’s experience with loss is unique, and your journey will be approached with sensitivity and respect.
If you are ready to receive support and guidance during this difficult time, please contact me. Together, we can work toward restoring balance and hope in your life.

Grief
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.
