Grief
Dr. Lois Nightingale
Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.
I have been providing therapy for those facing grief for over 30 years. Grief is a complicated topic that leaves people feeling vulnerable and isolated. The loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, a long term career or facing the aftermath of a natural disaster all leave and emptiness and sadness that can lead to Complicated Grief if not addressed. I also offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy in partnership with Journey Clinical, for eligible clients struggling with PTSD as part of their loss issues.

Judith Nitchie
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT36770
Grieving the death or loss of someone or of something that was important to us is an inevitable part of life. Your emotions might be 'all over the place,' from deep sadness to relief. Anger, confusion, frustration, and reassessment can also be part of it. Wherever you are in your experience it can be helpful to share and talk it through with a professional experienced in this area.

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.

Douglairian psychology apc
Marriage and Family Therapist, Lmft
I specialize in grief counseling. Losing a loved one is always difficult, and processing that grief is a non-linear journey that involves adapting to a "new reality" while honoring what was lost. Whether you are grieving a death, a relationship, or another major life change, my focus is on helping you move from surviving to growing.

Grief
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".

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
