Nes Pinar Psychotherapy

I help people move through grief and loss by offering a grounded, compassionate place to feel the full weight of what they’re carrying without having to do it alone. Together, we make sense of the waves—numbness, sorrow, anger, confusion—and gently explore what it means to live with this absence while staying connected to what matters most. My approach is tender, patient, and deeply human, supporting you as you rebuild your footing and find moments of meaning and ease again.

Grief is a normal human response to a great loss. We have different reactions to the process of losing someone or something that was important to us.

Grief
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Grief is not just about death, it’s the ache of change, the quiet absence of what once felt steady, the loss of who we were before everything shifted. I specialize in grief counseling for those navigating both external losses such as the death of a loved one, separation, or life transitions and internal grief, the mourning of lost identity, belonging, or safety.
Grief can feel isolating, confusing, or endless, but you are not alone. Together, we’ll create space to honor your pain without rushing your process, helping you rebuild connection, meaning, and trust in yourself. My approach draws from relational trauma therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to support emotional healing and reconnection with your authentic self.

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.

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.

Grief
Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I approach grief and loss through a compassionate, relational lens, recognizing that grief is a deeply human response to experiences of change, separation, and loss. Drawing from attachment theory and developmental perspectives, I understand grief as a reflection of the bonds and relationships that matter deeply to us. Therapy provides a supportive space to process emotions, honor what has been lost, and gradually find ways to move forward while carrying those connections with us.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
As an existential therapy, I always say "to exist is to grieve". Grief is a part of life. It's not just about death, but any loss or transition that we go through. Something that once was, is no longer anymore, is a constant in life, therefor, grief is a constant part of life. Grief is one of the most painful emotions we as humans have to learn how to navigate, because we can't change it, we can't fix it, we can't make it go away. We feel the powerlessness in us. Therapy is not about "fixing" the loss but about helping individuals navigate the profound changes that come with it, offering support as they find a new, manageable way to move forward. Grief therapy is a specialized, supportive counseling process that helps individuals process the emotional, physical, and psychological impact of loss. It aims to help people accept the reality of the loss, navigate intense emotions like guilt or anger, adjust to life, and build long-term resilience rather than just "moving on".

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.

San Diego's identity as a major military and biotech hub creates dual demand for therapists specializing in veteran trauma and PTSD on one hand, and the high-functioning anxiety and burnout of the life sciences industry on the other. The city's large active-duty population at Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton means therapists with military specialty training are consistently sought after, and many practices are specifically oriented toward service members and their families. San Diego's border location and large Latino population drive demand for bilingual therapists and culturally affirming care for immigrant and mixed-status families. Scripps Health and UC San Diego Health provide institutional mental health anchors across the county.
