Grief
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.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing loss and grief across the lifespan. With professional experience in hospice and a dissertation focused on grief and loss, I bring both clinical expertise and deep compassion to this work. I take a companioning approach to grief, recognizing that healing often involves retelling your story many times as you move through it. Loss changes us permanently, and grief is the process of discovering who we are becoming. Together, we create space to honor your experience, process complex emotions, and find meaning and resilience moving forward.

Grief
Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Grief can feel like the world has shifted beneath your feet, or that you are living a life on pause while everyone else keeps going. There’s no “right” way to grieve, and it often shows up in waves of sadness, anger, numbness, or confusion. I offer a compassionate space to process your loss, honor what matters, and begin to heal at your own pace.

Be BOLD Psychology and Consulting
Psychologist, Ph.D
Grief is one of the most painful, isolating experiences — and it’s also something we all go through. We support clients in navigating the messy, nonlinear process of grief after death, breakups, estrangement, or life transitions. We don’t rush your healing or try to “fix” it. We simply sit with you in it — with care, honesty, and deep compassion.

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.

Grief
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.

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.

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.

Grief
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.

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.

Emily Blitz
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief is often more than sadness—it’s a signal of what mattered deeply, reflecting your connections, values, and past experiences. In our work, we create a supportive space to feel, reflect, and make sense of your loss. Approached with care and curiosity, grief can become a pathway to understanding, integration, and renewed connection with yourself and others.

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.

Julien Moe
Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Everybody has lost a loved one. They will lose a loved one at some point of time. It is hard to grieve alone. You don't need to. I will help you heal by my Dicit hypnotherapy. I have been helping loads of clients get resilient and heal in no time. I can help you become a new you after a healthy grieving for the loss.
Loss and grief are considered treatable by hypnotherapy. It acts as a supportive, alternative tool to help process deep-seated emotions, ease physical tension, and reduce the intensity of grief. Hypnotherapy does not erase loss, but rather helps individuals manage pain and facilitate acceptance.
