Loss or Grief therapists in Ahwatukee Foothills, Arizona AZ
Loss or 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.

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!

Kathy Anderson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LAMFT
Grief work is at the root of every therapeutic process. Most times, grief lies underneath the most difficult emotions. When folks are able to release their grief, a little bit of healing takes place. Regarding the loss of a loved one, grief is a complicated but important process that required patience and gentle care. Working through the pain of grief can feel lonely, and having a witness to that pain can provide some comfort through the loss. If you have been experiencing grief, therapy can help to validate the loss and honor the pain.

Dr. Florence Rosiello
Therapist, Ph.D.
Most of my work is with people who have difficulty in relationships, either feeling too emotionally isolated or too merged. My strength lies in helping people find a place where they can be in intimate relationships and not lose themselves. Loving is difficult - and feeling loved, is even harder.
