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.

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.

Grief
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with people carrying life altering grief. Grief does not only follow death. It can arise after a medical crisis, a rupture in family relationships, a change in roles, the loss of health or a sense of safety, or a slow, quiet shift you cannot quite name. Many people I see are living with grief that others do not fully recognize. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling heavy, numb, angry, or alone on the inside. You might notice a sense of “before and after” in your life, feel confused that you are still affected this much, or wonder how it is possible to move forward.
Grief can be especially painful when the people around you do not really see it, or when there is no clear ritual or role for what you have lost. You might feel like there is no obvious place for your story to go, and no one you can talk to without having to minimize, explain, or protect them from the depth of what you feel.
In our work together, we make room for your grief at the pace your body and heart can handle. We explore what this loss has touched in your identity, relationships, and daily life, and we stay curious about the forms your grief wants to take: tears, anger, quiet, questions, or even moments of relief. Our work is not about getting over what happened, but about finding ways to live with it that feel more honest, supported, and bearable, especially when the depth of your experience is not obvious to the outside world.

Grief
Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, working with adults who are experiencing loss, grief, or significant life transitions. Grief can take many forms and does not always follow a predictable course. Feelings of sadness, numbness, anger, or disorientation may arise long after a loss has occurred.
My work is grounded in the belief that grief involves an emotional process that unfolds over time and deserves careful attention rather than pressure toward resolution. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy provides a space to reflect on the meaning of the loss, the relationship that has been altered or ended, and the ways grief shapes one’s inner life. Through this process, individuals often find ways to carry loss while gradually re-engaging with life and relationships.
I also work with couples who wish to understand how loss and grief affect their shared emotional experience.

Jennifer Masters
Life Coach, Ba Psychology, CF Thanatology, D Kessler – Grief Grief Coach Certif,M Devine – Grief Coach Certif
Grief can affect the whole person: thoughts, emotions, behaviours, relationships, identity, boundaries, and how someone understands themselves and the world after loss.
As a certified grief coach with formal education in thanatology and multiple grief-specific certifications, I support adults dealing with loss in plain, practical, human language. Clients have room to speak honestly about what they are thinking, feeling, doing, questioning, and carrying.
I also provide grief education and practical tools, so clients can better understand their reactions, reduce overwhelm, set boundaries, communicate needs, and manage daily life after loss. My support is compassionate, direct, and grounded in grief education rather than psychobabble or one-size-fits-all advice.

Unfortunately, we live in an age of excess uncertainty due to violence, natural disaster, disease, war and various health issues.

Grief
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Loss and grief can feel like a weight you carry every day, even when the world expects you to move on. Maybe you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or even a sense of who you used to be, and no matter how much time has passed, the pain still lingers. You might feel waves of sadness that come out of nowhere, guilt over what you didn’t say or do, or even numbness—like a part of you shut down just to survive. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and it doesn’t always look like tears—sometimes, it’s exhaustion, irritability, or feeling disconnected from life. If you find yourself stuck in sadness, struggling to move forward, or avoiding the pain altogether, your brain may be holding onto loss in a way that keeps you trapped in emotional pain.
But grief doesn’t have to stay this heavy forever. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help clients process loss in a way that honors their emotions without keeping them stuck in suffering. ART allows your brain to release painful memories, soften the emotional intensity, and create space for healing—without forcing you to relive the pain over and over. It’s not about forgetting or moving on; it’s about finding a way to carry your loss differently, so it no longer defines your daily life. Therapy helps you hold onto love and connection while letting go of the pain that keeps you from fully living. You don’t have to carry this alone—healing is possible, and you deserve peace.

Daniel Johnson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC, NCC
When we are experiencing loss, are we not literally “at a loss?” Having a guide that normalizes the uncomfortable feelings we are going through can be extremely helpful. I support clients in processing the rapid reorganizing of priorities and sense of meaninglessness that often accompanies loss; we face the existential crisis of our human condition together.

Kristen Jackson Banister
Counselor/Therapist, M.A. LPC SEP
Grief is a natural response to loss—but it can feel overwhelming, disorienting, or isolating. Whether you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a life transition, or a version of yourself, therapy offers a space to process at your own rhythm. We honor grief as something to move with, not rush through. I can support you in finding meaning, integration, and a continued sense of connection.

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.

Dr. Ann Becker-Schutte; Healthy Balanced Life Psychology, LLC
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief is a nearly universal experience. At some point, each of us will face the loss of a parent, spouse, sibling or other significant individual. In 2021, all of us have faced the loss of our pre-pandemic normal. In my practice, I have provided ongoing support to those facing both traditional and complicated grief.

Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Loss is inevitable. We all die and we all lose people, relationships, and states of being that we once loved. If we open ourselves to live an authentic, honest, interdependent life, we are sure to experience loss and grief. Many of us fear it so much that we develop a multitude of ways to avoid it, strike a connection balance that we believe will help us protect ourselves later (yet that often robs our joy in the meantime), and use substances or other numbing techniques to help us avoid the complicated process of grief. I believe we can all benefit from learning to appreciate that loss is inevitable, and to learn to grieve in a way that enables us to move forward with compassion and fulfillment.
