Grief
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
Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief is a season without end. It consumes, suffocates, diffuses. It is days of silence. It is unfeeling as a stone. It is raw as a volcano, erupting, tears for hours on end. Grief and loss are also incredibly human experiences. They confirm that we are living, feeling, complex creatures capable of more. Our capacity for grief is commiserate with our capacity for love.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Grief is at the heart of my work. 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.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief doesn't follow a timeline or a rulebook. Whether you've lost a person, a relationship, a season of life, or a version of yourself, the pain is real and it deserves to be honored. We provide a calm, unhurried space where you can process your loss at your own pace, without pressure to move on before you're ready. Healing is possible and you don't have to walk it alone.

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.

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.

Gabriel Lowe
Psychologist, PhD
Everyone experiences loss, and grief is the normal responses we have to those losses. There is no one right way to grieve, but going through the grieving process can be disorienting and lonely. To further complicate things, grief can be concrete (a person, place, or thing) and it can be abstract (hopes, dreams, expectations). Depending on the season of grief we are in, we may need someone to talk to, someone to help us move forward, or someone simply to be there with us.

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".

Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief and major transitions can feel profoundly disorienting. I offer a compassionate space to honor the full range of your emotions—the sadness, anger, confusion, and loss—allowing every 'part' of you to be seen and held. We'll work on finding meaning and committing to the values that guide you, even in the midst of pain and change. You will be supported in navigating this new terrain and finding restorative comfort through natural connection and self-compassion.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief can be a heavy and overwhelming burden to bear, especially after losing a loved one. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to navigate the grieving process, in your own unique way, and come to terms with your loss. Together, we will honor the memory of your loved one and explore the complex emotions that come with grief. Using evidence-based approaches such as grief counseling and trauma-informed care, I will support you in finding ways to cope with your loss, and healing looks different for each one of us.
I understand that losing a loved one can change us permanently, and that healing takes time. My role as a therapist is to walk with you, to listen, and to guide you on this journey of self-discovery and understanding. My goal is to empower you to find a new sense of balance and inner peace as you navigate the grieving process in a way that works best for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards healing and finding meaning in your life again.

Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief isn’t something you “get over”—it’s something you learn to carry differently over time. In therapy, we help you process the emotional impact of loss, understand how it’s affecting your identity and relationships, and find support as you integrate what’s been lost while continuing to live.

Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Experiencing the loss of a loved one can be the most isolating time in our lives. After the meal trains end, the services are over, and the thank-you's have all been sent, we are often left to suffer in silence, leading to guilt, depression, and recrimination. This is especially true when the death was sudden and/or centered around less than socially acceptable manners of death, and often those around us simply don't know what to say or how to be around us. When we work together, there is no judgment on what you are feeling or how you are "progressing." Instead, we just process the way things are today.

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.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Grief does not follow a timeline and there is no right way to feel. Sometimes what gets stuck is not the grief itself but a belief that formed inside the loss, things like guilt, the sense that we should have done more or the fear that to move forward is to leave the person behind. RTT works gently with these specific subconscious meanings, not to bypass the grieving but to free what has become frozen alongside it. I do not replace bereavement support or counselling. I work with people who have already been grieving for a while and feel that something underneath is keeping them stuck.
