Nekea Strong (Abundant Life Therapy)
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT, APCC
My work with individuals experiencing grief shows by meeting them where they are and honoring their unique relationship to loss. Grief can impact emotional, physical, and relational well being, often in ways that feel overwhelming or unexpected. In our work together, I help clients make space for their grief without pressure to “move on,” while gently building tools to cope with day to day life. My goal is to support clients in integrating their loss in a way that feels meaningful, compassionate, and aligned with their values.

Kathi Magnussen
Psychologist, Ph.D, Psy.D
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.

Stephanie A. Carson
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., LMFT
While I work with all grief and loss issues, my primary specialty is working with parents who have lost a child. When a child dies, a parent's world is shattered. While nothing can take away the pain of losing a child, I assist bereaved parents in finding ways to help make their pain more bearable.

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.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Grief is a natural response to loss, yet it often feels overwhelming and isolating. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or a major life transition, therapy can provide space to process the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that follow loss. My background includes grief-focused training and facilitating bereavement groups, and I approach this work with deep respect for the personal pace and meaning-making that grief requires.

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.

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.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and I believe there is no one “right” way to move through it. In my work with grief and loss, I create space for the full range of emotions that may arise—whether that includes sadness, numbness, anger, confusion, or even relief. I focus on helping you stay connected to your own process at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we explore ways to honor both the significance of what’s been lost and your experience in the aftermath. Through somatic awareness, reflection, and supportive presence, we work to make room for grief rather than rush past it—so it can move with you, not against you.

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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults experiencing loss and grief in its many forms, including bereavement, the end of relationships, changes in health, identity, or life circumstances. Grief is not linear and often involves conflicting emotions, uncertainty, and shifts in how people understand themselves and the world around them.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore grief without imposing timelines or expectations. Rather than trying to resolve or move through grief, the focus is on understanding how loss is being held and lived with. Sessions may involve conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.
