Grief therapy is grounded in exploring your grief at your own pace—finding ways to honor your loss, understand your emotions, and slowly reconnect with life in meaningful ways.

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you experiencing the loss of someone or a relationship near you? Are you experiencing anger, sadness, or pain? Maybe you are asking yourself how or why this happened. Or you may even be experiencing guilt or regret. The five stages of loss & grief often repeats in cycles for a long time after the loss occurred, but rarely people actively do something about it, and more often due to believing that there is nothing they could do but give it time. Without proper processing and healing of the grief, time can only do so much. I have extensive experiences helping clients processing their grief & loss, which has often decreased their recovering process time tremendously.

Paul Sather
Psychologist, PhD
Grief and loss are often confusing and difficult to work through. I come alongside you in your grief and help soothe the pain of the emptiness that is often so painful. When we walk into the darkness of the sunset, the sunrise comes much more quickly than when we walk away in an attempt to avoid it.

Dr. Colby Cohen-Archer
Psychologist, PhD
Whether a loss is expected or not, it is hard to go through each day with the heaviness that grief places in our bodies. I help parents who have lost pregnancies or babies, as well as adults struggling after the loss of a loved one. Our culture does not know how to talk about loss, making grief even more isolating. I provide attuned presence, healing through honoring all the emotions that come with loss. Using talk therapy as well as an eye movement therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I can help you let go of distressing images that sometimes accompany experiences of loss. We will work together to help you honor your grief, make space for the loss, and build a life of meaning and purpose.

Whether you're seeking to understand your grief, cope with its challenges, or rediscover a sense of hope, professional guidance can help you process your feelings and rebuild your life with meaning and resilience.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief can feel overwhelming, disorienting, or lonely—whether you’re grieving the death of someone you love or the quieter losses that come in midlife and retirement, like children leaving home, changes in identity after retirement, or shifting relationships. I offer a calm, supportive space to make sense of what feels painful and to begin reconnecting with hope, meaning, and steady ground at your own pace. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Any significant loss in life requires a process for grieving. Sometimes it's hard to accept those losses, and we find ourselves stuck in suffering. This results in complicated grief that interferes with our ability to function.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
Dealing with loss and grief involves allowing yourself to experience and accept your feelings, seeking support from loved ones or a therapist, taking care of your physical and emotional well-being, finding healthy outlets for expressing your emotions, being patient with yourself as you heal, remembering and honoring your loved one, and seeking professional help if needed. It's important to acknowledge your grief, lean on others for support, take care of yourself, express your emotions, be patient with your healing process, remember your loved one, and seek professional guidance if necessary.

Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
There is no one right way to grieve a loss. We often associate grief with losing a loved one but it can occur with other significant life changes such as the end of a relationship, loss of a pet, job loss, changes in your family dynamic, or other significant life changes. I have worked with many clients experiencing grief and they often share with me that they feel alone and misunderstood by others. As human beings, we often struggle to know how to respond to someone who is grieving. As a result, people who are grieving may feel isolated or try to put on a brave face so that they do not feel like a burden to others. In therapy, you can come exactly as you are and you don't have to put on a brave face. In our work together, you will have the space to process your thoughts and feelings associated with your grief. An important goal is to help you find ways to honor the loss while still allowing room for new experiences and meaningful connections in your life.

Gracie Orellano
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
Throughout life there will be numerous experiences with grief. Whether it is familial loss, pet loss, financial loss, etc. it can feel impossible to get through. With therapy, you can process what it means to you. It can be difficult to face these emotions on your own and can feel overwhelming to begin processing them. Through therapy we can utilize different tools to enhance your emotional awareness, understand what narratives arise from your grief, and engage in creative ways to hold the grief while you continue to live your life.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
Loss and Grief is not like anything you have experienced before. Grief is a process and not one that you can control but rather go through it. The stronger the love the deeper the grief. I have additional training in grief counseling and can help you to navigate through your pain. Loss can include but is not limited to death, divorce, job, move, incarceration, finance, and career. People can experience loss when children go from house to house during a divorce, teens going off to college, and young adults moving out on their own. Grief can be experienced alongside medical issues of loved ones or self, military issues, and more. If you or someone you know is dealing with loss and grief, I can help.
