Grief
Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Grief can deeply impact the emotional connection between partners as no one grieves the same way at the same time. This often brings changes in communication, intimacy, coping styles, and daily functioning. Gottman Method couples therapy offers a guided space for couples to navigate loss together while honoring that each person experiences grief differently. Whether grieving the loss of a loved one, a life transition, unmet expectations, or another significant change, therapy helps couples strengthen emotional understanding, increase support, and reduce feelings of isolation within the relationship. Alongside processing grief, couples can also explore opportunities for healing, resilience, and growth—learning how to reconnect, communicate with greater empathy, and move forward together in meaningful ways.

Grief
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.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness

By providing validation, support, and practical coping strategies, I assist clients in navigating the complex emotions and adjustments that accompany loss.

Grief
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.

Grief
Jason Hutchings
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief is a massive reality check in life. It delivers us a message that, often, we are not ready or willing to hear. We can unlock the power of what grief has to offer while processing the difficult journey we all experience when life takes turns we do not want or expect.

Grief
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief can bring feelings of isolation, guilt, or being “stuck.” IFS, existential, and narrative therapies help clients honor their grief and uncover the parts of themselves carrying pain. Mindfulness and somatic strategies provide grounding in overwhelming moments. I also offer diagnostic clarity to distinguish grief from depression and work with prescribers when medication support may be appropriate.

Grief
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Adjusting to the loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult things in life, and many people need help, since in many cases almost everything about their life is different, and everything reminds them of the loss. When grief does not seem to fade and it does not seem to be possible to move on, help is needed and a re-orientation of life is perhaps the only things that will allow the grieving person to move on.

Grief
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.

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
Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
Grief can be disorienting—like you’ve suddenly found yourself in a place you no longer recognize. Maybe you lost someone irreplaceable, or perhaps you’re mourning dreams, relationships, or pieces of your identity. Whatever your loss, Dr. Jenny Shields creates a compassionate space to help driven professionals explore their grief openly, without judgment or pressure to “move on.” Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), existential perspectives, and mindfulness-based approaches, Dr. Shields gently guides you toward making sense of what feels senseless, honoring what you’ve lost, and reconnecting to what still matters deeply in your life.

Grief
Pattie Vargas
Counselor/Therapist, CBC®️Certified Provider, Kessler Certified Grief Educator
Experiencing the loss of a loved one can be the most isolating time in our lives. After the meal trains end, the services are over, and the thank-you's have all been sent, we are often left to suffer in silence, leading to guilt, depression, and recrimination. This is especially true when the death was sudden and/or centered around less than socially acceptable manners of death, and often those around us simply don't know what to say or how to be around us. When we work together, there is no judgment on what you are feeling or how you are "progressing." Instead, we just process the way things are today.

Grief
Alyssa Smyth
Psychologist, PhD
Experiencing loss or grief can quietly affect many parts of life, from mood and sleep to concentration and emotional resilience. While others may expect a quick recovery, grief often unfolds in complex and deeply personal ways. I provide a supportive space to process loss, understand its impact, and gradually find ways to move forward while honoring what has been lost.
