Grief
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.

Grief
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no "right" way to move through it. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, changes in your health, or the life you expected to have, grief can bring overwhelming emotions that affect every aspect of your daily life. You may experience sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, loneliness, or a sense of being stuck, wondering if life will ever feel the same again. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss without judgment or pressure to "move on." Healing from grief isn't about forgetting or letting go of the person or experience that mattered to you—it's about learning how to carry your loss while finding ways to move forward with meaning and hope.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, navigate life changes, and make space for both grief and healing. When grief is complicated by trauma, sudden loss, or unresolved experiences, therapy can help you safely process those memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
We recognize that grief extends beyond death. Many people experience profound grief following divorce, infertility, miscarriage, the loss of a beloved pet, estrangement from family, retirement, chronic illness, or major life transitions. Whatever your loss, your feelings are valid, and you deserve support through the healing process. Although grief may always remain a part of your story, it does not have to define your future. Together, we'll help you honor what you've lost, reconnect with your strengths, and gradually create space for healing, resilience, and hope while carrying the memories and meaning that matter most.

Grief
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Grief isn't only about death. For a teen it can be the divorce, the move, the friend group that closed ranks, the parent who isn't the same anymore, the version of their life that ended without anyone calling it a loss. Teens often grieve without the language for it, and without permission, the people around them are grieving too, or the loss doesn't look like one from the outside.
It also rarely looks like sadness. It can show up as anger, numbness, a sudden drop in school, clinginess or distance, or a teen who seems fine for weeks and then isn't. Grief in adolescence tends to come in waves rather than stages, and it often resurfaces later, at each new developmental step.
I work with teens through losses of both kinds: the external ones: a death, a separation, a major transition and the internal ones, the mourning of who they were, where they belonged, or how safe the world used to feel.
Together we make space for what they're carrying without rushing it. My work draws on relational trauma therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness, which matters here because grief lives in the body as much as the mind. The goal isn't to move your teen past it. It's to help them carry it in a way that leaves room for the rest of their life.

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.

But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Grief takes many forms — death, endings, unrealized dreams. Therapy offers space to mourn fully while slowly integrating loss into a life that can still hold meaning and connection. I beleive that from grief can also come joy, so as we honor grief we make space for what we have known and loved and get clear on what we want.

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.

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.

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.
