Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I walk alongside individuals facing the heartbreak of loss—whether it’s a death, the end of a relationship, a life transition, or a future you thought you’d have. In a gentle, steady space, we tend to the parts of you that feel shattered, numb, guilty, or overwhelmed, and we allow grief to move at its own pace, you can slowly integrate your loss, stay connected to what (or who) you love, and begin to feel moments of meaning and aliveness again. You can slowly integrate your loss, stay connected to what (or who) you love, and begin to feel moments of meaning and aliveness again.

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.

Grief is a profoundly non-linear experience that can reshape your entire reality. Utilizing evidence-based bereavement frameworks and trauma-informed care, I help individuals navigate the complex emotional landscape of loss—including the death of a loved one, secondary losses, and ambiguous grief. Our work focuses on honors-based processing, managing the physiological impact of acute sorrow, and safely integrated strategies to help you carry your grief while gradually rebuilding a meaningful life.

Kelli Tahaney
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief and loss is a universal human experience, one that often plays a role in depression, anxiety, and complex trauma reactions. I help clients process loss and learn to understand grief and loss as emotions that are natural, at times overwhelming, and often as a sign that we experienced love and meaning.

Along the Path Counseling Services, P.C.
Licensed Professional Counselor
Grief comes in and out of our lives, in different shapes and forms, often more than we would like in life. During grief, you can feel isolated in a whirlwind of emotions. It can be hard to know how to navigate our feelings amid such immense change. The clinician’s role, in addition to offering techniques, which will help alleviate distressing symptoms and move toward coping and healing, is to validate and be present with the griever’s inner and outer experiences and the multi-dimensional levels (somatic, psychic, and spiritual) of pain and distress.

Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Having trained and worked in hospice and palliative care, I am versed in the language of loss. It is a unique experience, separate from depression (though it can morph into a depressive episode). We walk together through the steps of honoring and acknowledging the loss, remembering the person, and finding a path to coping amidst your new reality.

Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
I believe that grief and loss manifests from many experiences. It might be the loss of a loved one, an important relationship ending, a new life transition, or mourning the loss of an imagined future. I've found that allowing ourselves to sit with the grief can help us process it. Allowing your grief to be witnessed can be powerful and healing. Grief often shows up in unexpected ways, and there is no “right” way to move through it. I work to honor each person's unique grieving process, holding space with compassion, patience, and care.

Annette Popernik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief and loss look different on everyone. Grief can happen when someone dies but it can also happen after a breakup, separation, friendship loss, job change/loss, injury, illness, a move, etc. The intensity and presentation of grief symptoms are different for everyone. Our culture and traditions can also inform our grief. Let's talk about it together.

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.

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.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I believe that the most important thing to bear in mind when it comes to grief is that everyone grieves in their own way at their own pace. I have often helped clients work through self-judgement around things like being angry at a loved one who died or being relieved that they have passed. The Kübler-Ross stages of grief do include anger, but oftentimes, this is the hardest emotion to accept. Sometimes people also hear about the stages of grief and expect to experience one at a time when the reality is that these stages can run concurrently and in different orders. A major component of the grief work I do is helping people get to the point where they can honor and/or find takeaways from their loved one's legacy.

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.

Kari Carter
Life Coach, APSATS certified, ACC, CPC, ADOH
Grief after betrayal is complex and often misunderstood. It may include the loss of trust, the loss of identity, the loss of the relationship as you believed it to be - and sometimes the loss of the marriage itself. This type of grief can feel disorienting and layered with anger, confusion, and shock. I provide trauma-informed support to help clients process both acute and ambiguous loss, honoring the depth of what has been taken while gently guiding stabilization and healing.
