Grief
Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
Grief and loss are almost impossible to write about. You've lost someone or something. Perhaps a loved one, a relationship, a status in your chosen field, a lifestyle you once enjoyed. Most of the time the grief I see in patients who come to my office have lost someone who used to play a large part of their life. A family member. a close friend, someone you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with.
There's no timeline for grief. There are no set "stages" to have to pass through and check off the list. It takes as long as it takes to get through it. I once worked with someone who lost a dear friend to suicide. It was unthinkable, and the pain seemed too much to bear. After a certain point she felt she "should be over it." In fact some people even said that to her. No. You don't "just get over it." You grieve. There's a hole in your life that seems unfillable, and sometimes it is. But that doesn't mean you have to forget about it, or don't get to move on with the other parts of your life.
If it was a relationship, and the issue was someone bailed on you, ghosted you, cheated on you, wants to divorce you, that, too, needs a period of time to grieve the loss. In some cases reconciliation is possible, others not. Together we work on what's realistic, how to accept your loss, and to understand you are allowed to grieve as long as you need to.

Grief
Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Death. The most universal of life experiences. So why are we afraid to talk about it? We use euphemistic language in an effort to . . . what exactly? Does imagining her in “a better place” take the pain away? What do we say when children ask if they can visit this place, or when the deceased will return home? And then the casseroles and phone calls taper off. Always too soon. Then people stop asking, as though their questions will bring her to mind and cause you to suffer. Don’t they know you think of her every day?
Grief doesn’t ever really go away; it changes over time. Just when you think you are coping better with the loss, the holidays arrive, or the one-year anniversary hits, and there you are, overwhelmed by difficult emotions once again. I would be honored to sit alongside you on this difficult, and often lonely, journey.

Grief
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Grief does not follow a timeline — and it rarely looks the way people expect it to. Loss can arrive in many forms: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a career change, a medical diagnosis, or the quiet grief of a life that did not unfold the way you imagined. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I provide evidence-based grief therapy for adults navigating bereavement, complicated grief, anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and loss-related depression and anxiety. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help clients move through grief with compassion, clarity, and genuine support. Telehealth grief therapy available across 40+ states.

Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Grief is a deeply painful experience that feels like it will go on forever. While we may always miss someone we lost, we now have therapies that will help us move through that grief more rapidly, taking us to a place of relative acceptance and greater peace sooner.

Dr. David Amarel

Whether you seek to overcome a specific trauma or to break a chronic life pattern, to work toward achieving your purpose, I will meet you where you are at. As you know, grief can be coping with the shock but it is also a kind of one-sided relationship work. I can help you with that.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
Many of my clients have come to me to get over the loss of someone whether through breakup, divorce, or death. Even when loss isn't the primary reason for them seeking my help, it is often something impacting the issue at hand. In all cases I have been able to help my clients let go and move forward. In hypnosis, we can have people speak with someone who has passed on, whether it is to exchange some final goodbyes, get love and support, resolve some old dispute or trauma. I've had several clients who had trouble letting go after a breakup and we have managed to get them to move on. I had one female client who came to me for a variety of issues. She had been through a difficult divorce and Cancer diagnosis while raising 3 young children. Throughout her ordeal, she had received immense support from the priest at her church but he had passed away and she missed him immensely. In hypnosis, we visited his spirit and she was able to feel again his love and support and get his counsel. As another part of her treatment, we were able to converse with her late father who had abandoned the family when she was a child, and release the trauma that he had caused. Whether you believe in spirits or not, the experiences in hypnosis feel absolutely real and are able to bring peace and resolution.

Dr. Michelle Woogen

Loss can be one of the most painful experiences. It can change our lives entirely and impact our ability to interact with the world around us. However, it is important to remember that there is no correct way to grieve, and it can be extremely helpful to have a supportive, well-trained therapist by your side, helping you to navigate this painful process.

Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
Grief after the loss of a beloved pet is often unacknowledged or minimized, even though the bond with an animal can be deep and life changing. Pets are cherished family members, companions, and sources of daily comfort, and their passing can trigger profound sadness, guilt, anger, or loneliness. Many people also struggle with changes in routine, loss of companionship, or second-guessing past care or end-of-life decisions.
Pet bereavement is a normal and valid form of grief, and healing often involves acknowledging the bond, allowing yourself to mourn, seeking support from understanding people or groups, and honoring your pet’s memory in meaningful ways.
I provide compassionate online counseling for adults to help navigate the emotional impact of pet loss. Together, we focus on processing grief, finding support, and creating ways to honor and remember your cherished companion.
