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.

Grief
Dr. Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST
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.
If you are experiencing a painful loss and feel overwhelmed with where to start, your search for a therapist is a great step.

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.

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.

I support people through all kinds of loss, not only the death of a loved one, but the loss of a relationship, an identity, a future you expected, or a version of your life that didn't unfold the way you hoped. There's no timeline here, just space to honor what you're carrying.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Both EMDR and insight-oriented approaches can be truly beneficial when processing loss or grief. Sometimes a client mostly needs a supportive presence and a space to talk about the loss and fully feel all the feelings involved. Other times, trauma processing via EMDR can be incredibly effective in releasing any pent up or leftover painful feelings of regret, loss, guilt, or sadness. We will work together to determine what course—and what pace—is best for you.

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.

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.
