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.

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.

Pedro F. Baez
Life Coach, LVN, MCC, CHC - Master Certified Coach
I assist and guide clients in honoring their pain, their grief, their anger. I help them craft a uniquely theirs structure so they can ease into their confusion, their emotions, their feelings; their overwhelming sense of loss. I hold a space for them to feel it all. I invite them not to push grief away, not to resist it. I encourage them not to be anything or anyone other than who and what they are, as they feel a deep sense of disappointment, aloneness and sadness. It's all LOVE, I assure them, and love flows as best it can, sometimes as deep, lacerating, unbearable emotional pain. I support grieving women and men as they ease into the bittersweet discomfort of grieving; I coach them not to be afraid; to embrace the feeling and know, that at some point, the hurt becomes sweet remembrance, the longing transforms into a sense of clear, loving presence, and the wounds grow beautiful scars to remind us of how beautifully human, spiritual, generous and precios we all are.

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.

Sonny Granade
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing a significant loss—and the grief that follows—can leave us feeling unanchored and overwhelmed, caught between who we once were and who we are becoming. I work with my clients to gently and compassionately explore what exists within these vulnerable periods of transition, including learning how to stay present with the pain of grief rather than rushing past it. Within that space, we make room for growth, healing, and meaningful change to emerge over time.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
My work with grieving clients focuses on creating space for the full complexity of loss in all its forms—death of loved ones, relationship endings, loss of health or identity, and the life you thought you'd be living. Through compassionate, personalized approaches, we address key areas including the non-linear nature of grief, guilt and regret, anger and resentment, and navigating a world that expects you to "move on." I help clients honor their grief while finding ways to continue living, process complicated emotions including relief or ambivalence alongside sadness, develop language for what they're experiencing when words feel inadequate, and create meaningful rituals or practices that acknowledge loss while making space for what remains. My approach recognizes that grief isn't something to fix or get over—it's something to move through and integrate as part of your ongoing story.

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.

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore and process the profound emotional and psychological impact of your unique loss. My approach moves beyond traditional "stages" to recognize grief as a complex, non-linear journey, whether you're navigating the pain of bereavement, the disorienting change of divorce, the strain of chronic illness, or other significant life transitions. Utilizing evidence-based modalities, I will help you build adaptive coping strategies, find ways to meaningfully integrate the loss into your life story, and ultimately move toward healing and renewed purpose, without requiring you to "get over" what mattered. A loss stays with us forever but it doesn't have to hurt so much.

Irvine is one of the wealthiest and most planned cities in the United States — anchored by UC Irvine and home to the regional headquarters of dozens of major corporations — with a therapy community shaped by the intersection of high-achievement academic culture, tech and finance sector burnout, and a large East Asian population that brings distinct cultural dimensions to help-seeking and mental health. The city's majority-minority population — with Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Iranian communities among the most prominent — drives strong demand for multilingual therapists who can work across multiple cultural frameworks. Hoag Hospital and the UCI Health system provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-established private practice community serving Irvine's planned residential villages. UCI's clinical psychology training program supplies a significant number of therapists to the broader Orange County ecosystem.
