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.

Grief
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.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Coping with loss or grief can be an overwhelming and deeply personal journey. Hypnotherapy offers a compassionate and supportive approach to navigating these emotions, helping individuals find solace and healing. Through hypnotherapy, clients can access their subconscious mind, where unresolved grief and pain often reside. In a state of deep relaxation, individuals can gently explore their feelings of loss, allowing themselves to fully process and release these emotions.

Grief
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.

GRIS ALVES
Counselor/Therapist, Compassionate Inquiry, Trauma Informed Mindfulness Teacher
I guide clients through loss and grief with a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that honors the unseen currents of human experience. Drawing on my training and experience as a thanatologist, and the wisdom of ancient earth-based grieving traditions often lost in Western culture, I integrate ritual, ceremony, and embodied practices to help grief move through the body and psyche. Together, we explore the layers of emotion, memory, and meaning, as well as science based information on what happens to the body as we grieve in order to create a better understanding of our grieving process, as well creating a sacred space for healing, transformation, and a renewed connection to life beyond loss.

Grief
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.

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.

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.

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.
