Maggie Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, EMDR Certified, NCC
Grief and loss, in all their forms, are among the hardest experiences we face as humans. They can bring up complex emotions and shake parts of your identity, relationships, and life that once felt secure. I provide a safe, supportive space to process everything you’re feeling, including the uncomfortable and darker emotions that can be hard to share. Together, we’ll honor what has been lost, make room for what’s true, and find ways to create meaning as you move forward and learn how to carry this with you.

Grief
Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Losing a partner at any point in the relationship can be a traumatizing experience. This is because we begin our lives being attached to our parents, who hopefully provide a semblance of love and security that make us feel like the world is a caring and safe place. Some children don’t receive this kind of nurturing, but they might believe they can find it in their significant other. This is not pie-in-the-sky thinking; our romantic partnerships are actually continuations of the attachment we felt as children to our parents. Even near the beginning of the relationship we look to our partners to fulfill many of the roles a parent might fulfill, and this is appropriate. Ideally, our partners show us love in a way we feel cared for, they support us when the chips are down, and they are a space of safety we can call home.
From the beginning of the relationship we all have a small sliver of hope that we might find a safe space in our partner. This is why even early relationship loss feels so devastating and sometimes like the end of the world. This is an experience no one should weather alone, and being in therapy gives you a space to visit and revisit elements of the relationship you might not have understood, cry as much as you need to cry, and feel seen and heard in a way you need to heal.
You might have had a broken engagement, been ghosted by someone you’ve been dating, or had your 20 year-long marriage dissolve. You can get through this, but don’t do it alone.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Grief is not linear, nor is it limited to death or loss. Any uninvited change can bring feelings of mourning and sadness. I offer a supportive space to help you process your experience and find ways to adapt and cope.

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.

Grief
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.

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.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, no matter what people expect from you. It comes in waves. Some days you're functioning and some days it hits you in the grocery store and you can't explain why. The world keeps moving and you're supposed to move with it, but part of you is still back there, with them, with what you lost. We don't try to rush grief or fix it. We sit with you in it. We help you find ways to carry the loss without being crushed by it, to honor what mattered while slowly rebuilding a life that has room for joy again. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Grief is a profoundly heavy, non-linear journey that can reshape your entire world. Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, navigating the invisible ache of pregnancy loss, or processing the ambiguous grief of a chronic illness diagnosis, Anne provides a warm, open, and deeply honoring space for you to carry your pain. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Grief Informed Professional, she partners with individuals to safely explore their loss without pressure to "just get over it" or move on before they are ready.
Anne’s integrative approach is uniquely gentle and effective for bereavement care. Because intense grief often defies words, she blends traditional psychotherapy with creative art therapy techniques and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). These somatic and creative tools offer a safe outlet to externalize complex emotions—like anger, guilt, and profound sadness—while helping to calm a traumatized nervous system. Anne is dedicated to helping you honor your loss, build sustainable coping strategies for the triggers of daily life, and gently find a way forward at your own pace.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
There is a deeper understanding of the value of life, when humans have had the bitter of loss. As a counselor I have assisted with thousands of such situations. However as a child and teen, I saw it as my calling to help the adults in my life manage grief. Such pain and challenge were my first therapy interventions. I was deeply shocked to find that my four years of graduate counseling training had absolutely zero information about grief and loss. Now as a seasoned clinician, understanding there is a marked difference between grief and depression, I feel it is a special privilege to be able to help people through grief.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael views divorce as a profound life transition that requires more than just legal navigation; it demands the emotional processing of "stuck" grief and the rebuilding of a new, independent identity.
Divorce is rarely just the end of a legal contract; it is a complex psychological uncoupling that reshapes your identity, family dynamics, and sense of the future. With 35 years of clinical experience, Michael helps individuals and parents navigate the turbulent emotional landscape of separation, focusing on the "unspoken" grief and the shifts in self-perception that occur during this transition. By exploring the relational patterns that defined the marriage, he provides a space to process the loss without becoming defined by it. Whether you are navigating the initial crisis or working to establish a healthy co-parenting dynamic, the goal is to move through the pain toward a restored sense of agency and a new chapter built on self-awareness.

Dr. Steven J. Hanley
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief creates its own schedule. There is no one "right" way to go through the process. I may never know the true pain that that loss has brought you, but I am committed to helping your tell your grief story. Putting words to your pain can be very liberating.
