Grief
Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Grief has it's own life journey. Grief has stages, but often not in an order we can recognize. Losing a loved one can be debilitating, confusing and often emotionally overwhelming. Walking through the grief process with a therapist can help you understand the intense feelings you may encounter. There are times when you may feel difficult emotions even years later -- maybe what we call a 'delayed grief response.' We can recover from the loss of a loved one. Life may never be the same after a trauma, but the intense pain of the loss is not something you have to live with forever.

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.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn

Loss is an integral but often unwelcome part of life and love. Consciously navigating loss in painful life experiences is important. The process of effectively letting go when life requires you to do so can help you to move forward in your life.

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.

Pedro F. Baez
Life Coach, LVN, MCC, CHC - Master Certified Coach
I assist and guide clients in honoring their pain, their grief, their anger. I help them craft a uniquely theirs structure so they can ease into their confusion, their emotions, their feelings; their overwhelming sense of loss. I hold a space for them to feel it all. I invite them not to push grief away, not to resist it. I encourage them not to be anything or anyone other than who and what they are, as they feel a deep sense of disappointment, aloneness and sadness. It's all LOVE, I assure them, and love flows as best it can, sometimes as deep, lacerating, unbearable emotional pain. I support grieving women and men as they ease into the bittersweet discomfort of grieving; I coach them not to be afraid; to embrace the feeling and know, that at some point, the hurt becomes sweet remembrance, the longing transforms into a sense of clear, loving presence, and the wounds grow beautiful scars to remind us of how beautifully human, spiritual, generous and precios we all are.

Kathi Magnussen

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.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Death. The most universal of life experiences. So why are we afraid to talk about it? We use euphemistic language in an effort to . . . what exactly? Does imagining her in “a better place” take the pain away? What do we say when children ask if they can visit this place, or when the deceased will return home? And then the casseroles and phone calls taper off. Always too soon. Then people stop asking, as though their questions will bring her to mind and cause you to suffer. Don’t they know you think of her every day?
Grief doesn’t ever really go away; it changes over time. Just when you think you are coping better with the loss, the holidays arrive, or the one-year anniversary hits, and there you are, overwhelmed by difficult emotions once again. I would be honored to sit alongside you on this difficult, and often lonely, journey.

Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Emotional experiences of sadness or anger and other behavioral changes can arise as the result of a loss. People can get a better understanding of what they are going through and help prevent and reduce prolonged undesirable effects in their lives through counseling when grief/bereavement has affected them. Even though it is normal to feel sad after a loss, when the sadness prolongs and starts affecting one's ability to return to the previous level of daily functioning, it is advisable to seek help from trained professionals to prevent worsening of symptoms, such as developing depression.

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.

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.

Grief
Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
Grief and loss are not limited to death and often follow divorce, infertility, illness, addiction, estrangement, identity shifts, or the loss of a future someone expected to have. Death brings its own weight, confronting people with finality, unanswered questions, and the reality that life has been permanently altered. I work with grief by helping clients make room for what has been lost without rushing closure, while supporting them in integrating the loss into their lives in a way that preserves meaning and connection to the present.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Loss and Grief are experienced with death and also many other incidents. There is a non-linear path to healing and techniques to help in the process. History shows the human condition as experiencing tragedy and finding a way to survive. Therapy is part of that way.
