Grief
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.

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.

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.

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.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Grief takes many forms — death, endings, unrealized dreams. Therapy offers space to mourn fully while slowly integrating loss into a life that can still hold meaning and connection. I beleive that from grief can also come joy, so as we honor grief we make space for what we have known and loved and get clear on what we want.

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.

Grief
Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
When you have a difficult family member, loss and grief are part of life long before anyone passes. You may need to mourn a parent who no longer recognizes you. You may need to grieve for the childhood you never got to have. You may need to grieve the dreams you had for your own child. Grief is a normal and essential part of this healing work. Expressing the losses and the pain make space for new thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors to emerge. My job is to hold a safe and sacred space for the tears, the anger, the heavy-heartedness, the nostalgia, and anything else that arises as you acknowledge what you’ve lost (or never had), and learn to hold yourself gently through the pain.

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.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
We experience grief—heartbreak—on the of a death of a loved one, whether it be our parent, a partner, a friend, or a pet. Grief is also very real when a relationship ends, our health declines, or a dream dies. We experience grief when we lose someone with whom we never resolved our differences. Sometimes the emptiness of grief lingers because we did not receive much-needed love and nurturing as a child. Today many of us feel a collective grief in relation to ecological or political conditions in our world. In our work together, we will tend with care and patience to the complex emotions that accompany the wounds of grief, honoring the ways in which pain from loss can change us, and holding space for acceptance and rediscovery of meaning and presence our lives.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Grief does not follow a timeline — and it rarely looks the way people expect it to. Loss can arrive in many forms: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a career change, a medical diagnosis, or the quiet grief of a life that did not unfold the way you imagined. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I provide evidence-based grief therapy for adults navigating bereavement, complicated grief, anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and loss-related depression and anxiety. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help clients move through grief with compassion, clarity, and genuine support. Telehealth grief therapy available across 40+ states.

Riverside is home to UC Riverside and is the economic and cultural hub of the Inland Empire — a vast suburban region east of Los Angeles where high housing costs, long commutes, and economic pressures create distinct mental health challenges for a predominantly working- and middle-class population. The city has a significant Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve important access roles in communities where language and cultural fit are barriers to mainstream mental health services. Riverside University Health System provides institutional mental health resources for one of California's largest and fastest-growing counties. UC Riverside's psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains underserved relative to coastal California metros.
