Grief
Dr. Rosy Saenz-Sierzega
Psychologist, PhD, MA, NBCC
Grief is not limited to the death of someone you love. We can experience profound grief after a breakup, divorce, infertility, a major life change, or the loss of something we had hoped for. I help clients work through the pain while finding ways to adjust to what has changed and move forward without feeling like they have to simply "get over it."

Grief
Dr. Leigh Anne Randa
Psychologist, PhD
Distress from loss and grief are often mistaken for depression. While they share some common signs, treatment for grief and loss require distinctly different approaches from treatment for depression. Dr. Randa models therapy for grief and loss on a four task program: 1) accepting that the loss has occurred and the reality of the loss, 2) Processing the pain by allowing oneself to feel the loss, 3) Adjusting to life now, externally, internally, and spiritually, and 4) Creating a lasting connection with the lost in the midst of moving on with life. The tasks are not necessarily achieved in any order, but all are necessary for most effective recovery.

Grief
Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
In life, we all encounter roadblocks, trauma, choices we wished we had not made, grief, loss, regret, and sometimes horrible events. These experiences can be exhausting especially when they get in the way of us returning to the person we were before an event happened or when we can't quite be the person we envisioned ourselves being. With professional therapy, you become capable of building the skills needed to bring joy back into your life. Contact me today for a free 15 minute phone consultation. I look forward to speaking with you!

Grief
Caitlin Derouen
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
Loss can mean a lot of things. Whether it be the death of a family member, the loss of a life long dream, a struggle with chronic illness and the loss of a life you once had, or a divorce. I address grief utilizing a supportive and integrative approach that encourages movement through the grieving process. I am also trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, methods that can effectively help people who are suffering with grief and loss.

Grief
Emily Wilson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I provide compassionate support for individuals navigating loss and grief, whether from the death of a loved one, major life changes, or other significant transitions. My approach is trauma‑informed and client-centered, creating a safe space to express emotions, process difficult experiences, and honor the journey of grief.
Using evidence‑based methods such as EMDR, DBT skills, and narrative approaches, I help clients cope with intense feelings, manage emotional overwhelm, and gradually find meaning and resilience. Through therapy—available in-person or via secure telehealth—I guide clients toward healing, acceptance, and reconnecting with a sense of purpose and hope in their lives.

Grief is so unique from person to person. The way a person experiences death is different for everyone. Grief requires lots of special training and a holistic approach. I have years of training and experience in working with this issue. I work to help clients address their issues from a variety of different angles and determine the underlying causes behind the problems.

Grief
Kathleen Cramer, Ph.D.
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.

Have you experienced a terrible loss? Is the loss causing you to perpetually feel exhausted to your core and so alone? Do you question if they way you are grieving is normal? I don't want you going through the loss alone. You deserve to have a professional who specializes in grief and complicates grief help you.
This is one of my most worked-with specialties, both with individuals as well as couples experiencing a shared loss (e.g. miscarriage, loss of a child). I take a companion approach to grief and am with you every step of the way.
