Grief
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.

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.

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.

Grief
Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.” ― David Kessler, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief
I align with this quote. Grief and loss come in many forms and ultimately in death. My heart for grief work is being present and holding space to let you experience the full measure of your grief while staying anchored in the here and now. You will drown and then realize you are the ocean.

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.

Our approach is compassionate and structured, helping individuals move through grief at their own pace while building resilience. We focus on identifying and addressing distressing thoughts, fostering self-compassion, and finding ways to honor and adjust to life after loss.

Grief
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.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief is a natural, yet intensely personal and often isolating, response to loss. My practice provides a deeply supportive environment to navigate the profound emotional landscape that accompanies significant change. We will work together to understand the varied expressions of your grief, allowing space for sadness, anger, confusion, and all other feelings to surface. The goal is to cultivate resilience, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and help you find new pathways for connection and meaning as you adapt to life after loss."

Jacqueline Elster
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, LP
Providing compassionate support as you navigate the complex emotions associated with loss is vital. Working through loss often involves processing feelings, developing coping strategies and finding meaning in your experience. Expressing and reframing your stories of loss often can help move you towards healing and acceptance. By creating a safe and empathetic space, therapy aids in the journey towards emotional adjustment and the eventual restoration of a sense of normality and hope.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients need to talk with someone that they feel comfortable with when they are addressing loss and grief. Each grief episode or loss is a little (or a lot) different from another. Whether or not this was a recent loss or one from long ago, let's talk about how you are feeling to help you process the impact on you.

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.
