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.

Grief
Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed grief and loss counseling for individuals experiencing the emotional impact of bereavement, complicated grief, life transitions, or the loss of a loved one, relationship, role, or meaningful life circumstance. Grief can affect emotional well-being, physical health, relationships, sleep, concentration, and overall functioning, often bringing waves of sadness, numbness, anxiety, anger, guilt, or emotional overwhelm.
Brad takes a holistic and compassionate approach to grief counseling, helping clients process loss in a safe and supportive environment at their own pace. Therapy provides space to explore the emotional pain of grief, honor the significance of what has been lost, and work through the complex emotions that often accompany mourning and adjustment.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing from both grief and any underlying trauma that may be activated by loss. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional balance, reducing distress, and helping clients gradually rebuild meaning, stability, and connection in their lives.
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no single “right way” to heal. Brad’s approach is individualized, supportive, and non-judgmental, allowing clients to process loss in a way that respects their unique emotional needs, beliefs, and circumstances. Together, you will work toward understanding the impact of loss, integrating it into your life story, and finding ways to move forward without disconnecting from what mattered.
The goal of therapy is not to “get over” grief, but to help clients adapt, heal, and carry their loss in a way that allows for continued meaning, connection, and emotional well-being.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move through grief while rebuilding hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose and emotional balance.

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.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief can feel overwhelming, disorienting, or lonely—whether you’re grieving the death of someone you love or the quieter losses that come in midlife and retirement, like children leaving home, changes in identity after retirement, or shifting relationships. I offer a calm, supportive space to make sense of what feels painful and to begin reconnecting with hope, meaning, and steady ground at your own pace. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Coping with loss or grief can be an overwhelming and deeply personal journey. Hypnotherapy offers a compassionate and supportive approach to navigating these emotions, helping individuals find solace and healing. Through hypnotherapy, clients can access their subconscious mind, where unresolved grief and pain often reside. In a state of deep relaxation, individuals can gently explore their feelings of loss, allowing themselves to fully process and release these emotions.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Bereavement can be an especially lonely experience as people navigate loss in the context of a death-phobic culture. Community care and ritual are often missing for people as they cope with the ongoing nature of loss. Depending on the nature of the loss, trauma processing therapy might also be helpful in supporting the bereavement process over time.

Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
A loss of someone you love can change everything and prompt us to delve into the most existential internal searches. First and foremost, we need a safe space to process what happened, why it happened, and what now gives life meaning---especially if our feelings seem to shift from one minute to the next. This therapy gives you a place to get organized by talking about the ineffable, thereby moving toward accommodation, acceptance, and even moments of peace. I am a Certified Grief Therapist (David Kessler, Grief.com) and Master (Robert Neimeyer, PhD).

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
