Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline—and it doesn’t always look the way people expect. You might be holding it together on the outside while falling apart inside. You may be showing up to work, caring for others, or getting through your day just fine—until you're not. Whether your loss was recent or years ago, the weight of grief can feel disorienting, isolating, or even invisible.
I work with adults navigating many forms of grief: the death of a loved one, anticipatory loss, traumatic or complicated grief, and losses that society often overlooks—like the loss of a pet, estranged relationships, identity shifts, or ambiguous goodbyes that have no closure. In a culture that often minimizes grief or meets it with discomfort, my role is to offer a steady presence and a space where your pain is valid, welcome, and never rushed.
At The Momentum Practice, we’ll honor what’s been lost, make space for the full range of emotions, and work toward a sense of acceptance—not forgetting or moving on, but learning how to live with grief in a way that feels more sustainable and integrated. Whether your grief shows up as sorrow, numbness, guilt, anger, or all of the above, you are not broken—and you don’t have to carry it alone.
With over 15 years of experience, I help clients move through grief with compassion, clarity, and care. Together, we’ll begin to make meaning in the midst of heartache and gently reconnect with hope, strength, and even moments of peace. I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
"There's bounty, yes; but there's loss and sorrow too: like a garden, like a life." This quote from a published collection of letters between two nature-loving poets echoes a life perspective I revisit regularly. In our work together, I'll hold space so you can acknowledge, honor, and process experiences of grief and loss. Because when we open up to the inevitable pain of our human lives, we're also saying yes to the possibility of joy and connection.

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.

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.

Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
Someone told me recently that losing a major relationship (spouse, parent, child) can be counted on to make a person "crazy" for about a year. I don't this is an exaggeration. At such a time, a wise, durable therapeutic relationship can provide a secure base with which to navigate the crisis. I have gone through such periods of loss with many people over my long practice, so I can be a confident guide in enduring it and making the best of it.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief has no rulebook. It doesn’t follow a straight line or a set timeline, and it can come in waves—some small, some that knock you off your feet. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, a part of your identity, or a future you had envisioned, the weight of loss can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re struggling with sadness, guilt, or even numbness. Perhaps you feel pressure to “move on” when, deep down, you’re still trying to make sense of what life looks like without what you’ve lost.
Grief is not about getting over it—it’s about learning how to carry it in a way that allows you to keep moving forward. Together, we will create space for your emotions without judgment, honor what you’ve lost, and help you find a way to integrate this experience into your life. You don’t have to go through this alone. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding a way to hold both the pain of loss and the possibility of hope.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Grief can follow the death of someone you love, but it can also accompany infertility, pregnancy loss, relationship changes, health concerns, or other significant life transitions. I provide space to process loss without expectations about what grief “should” look like while helping you adjust to the changes it has brought to your life.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
Losing a partner at any point in the relationship can be a traumatizing experience. This is because we begin our lives being attached to our parents, who hopefully provide a semblance of love and security that make us feel like the world is a caring and safe place. Some children don’t receive this kind of nurturing, but they might believe they can find it in their significant other. This is not pie-in-the-sky thinking; our romantic partnerships are actually continuations of the attachment we felt as children to our parents. Even near the beginning of the relationship we look to our partners to fulfill many of the roles a parent might fulfill, and this is appropriate. Ideally, our partners show us love in a way we feel cared for, they support us when the chips are down, and they are a space of safety we can call home.
From the beginning of the relationship we all have a small sliver of hope that we might find a safe space in our partner. This is why even early relationship loss feels so devastating and sometimes like the end of the world. This is an experience no one should weather alone, and being in therapy gives you a space to visit and revisit elements of the relationship you might not have understood, cry as much as you need to cry, and feel seen and heard in a way you need to heal.
You might have had a broken engagement, been ghosted by someone you’ve been dating, or had your 20 year-long marriage dissolve. You can get through this, but don’t do it alone.

Psychologist, Ph.D., PSYPACT member
Therapy is important to help us navigate significant life losses, which can include death of a loved one, death of a pet, divorce, job loss, health challenges, etc. Part of the navigation process is learning about the different stages of grief, how they manifest for each person, what triggers them, what alleviates them, etc. The goal is to develop healthy coping skills so that each stage of grief can be navigated as well as possible, while also giving yourself grace during the grief process.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work as a psychologist, I support individuals through the complex and deeply personal journey of loss and grief with empathy and care. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients process their emotions and challenge any unhelpful thought patterns that may arise during their grieving process. I also incorporate techniques from narrative therapy to help individuals make sense of their loss and integrate it into their life story. My approach is warm and supportive, providing a safe space for clients to express their feelings and memories. By working collaboratively with each person, I assist them in finding meaning, adjusting to life changes, and eventually discovering a sense of hope and healing. My goal is to help clients navigate their grief in a way that honors their experiences while supporting their path towards emotional recovery, personal growth and resilience.
