Tina Mavalankar
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support clients navigating grief and loss in all its forms—whether from death, relationship endings, estrangement, identity shifts, or major life transitions. I take a compassionate, non-pathologizing approach that honors each person’s unique grieving process while helping them make sense of intense emotions, numbness, anger, guilt, or longing when they arise. Drawing from attachment-informed therapy, meaning-centered work, mindfulness, and CBT, we explore how grief is showing up day-to-day, how to carry what was lost while continuing to live fully, and how to reconnect with purpose and support. My aim is to create a steady, safe space where clients can mourn honestly, integrate the loss into their story, and move forward at their own pace without pressure to “be over it.”

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 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.

Dr Rachel Spero-Hoy
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I offer treatment plans with various evidence-based treatments OR a choice for a more unstructured evidence-informed approach. I primarily utilize treatments that fall under the umbrella of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can improve emotion regulation and personal coping strategies that can help solve current or future mental health problems. CBT is a goal-oriented therapy and is widely used as the gold standard treatment to treat various mental health conditions, including: depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, chronic pain, and insomnia.
Trauma-informed interventions can include CBT, supportive therapy, or IPT.
When grief and loss is related specifically to reproductive mental health (RMH), IPT for RMH would be an ideal fit.
Interpersonal Therapy for Reproductive Mental Health (IPT for RMH) -
IPT focuses on improving interpersonal relationships to improve mental health. Core elements of IPT include: helping individuals navigate the significant changes in roles and responsibilities associated with parenthood, addressing relationship issues with your support network that contributes to emotional distress, assisting individuals in coping with grief and loss, and helping individuals develop and maintain supportive social connections.
IPT for Reproductive Mental Health specifically addresses the unique interpersonal challenges that arise during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum periods. IPT is well-suited to treat postpartum depression or anxiety, improving emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
I lost a partner in Covid and understand the underpinnings to intense grief. We have to learn to live with it and open ourselves up in ways that we never expected. We are alive! Grief is not a feeling that we can turn on and off....like a light switch. It's complicated and intense. I can help you navigate yours.

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.
