Loss or Grief
Carolyne Mburu-Gerena
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC
Grief can follow the loss of a loved one, relationship, or significant life change. Everyone processes loss differently, and grief may bring waves of sadness, confusion, anger, or emotional numbness. Treatment focuses on providing support through the grieving process while helping individuals gradually adapt and find meaning as they move forward.

Loss or Grief
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.

Loss or Grief
Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Loss and grief can feel like a weight you carry every day, even when the world expects you to move on. Maybe you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or even a sense of who you used to be, and no matter how much time has passed, the pain still lingers. You might feel waves of sadness that come out of nowhere, guilt over what you didn’t say or do, or even numbness—like a part of you shut down just to survive. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and it doesn’t always look like tears—sometimes, it’s exhaustion, irritability, or feeling disconnected from life. If you find yourself stuck in sadness, struggling to move forward, or avoiding the pain altogether, your brain may be holding onto loss in a way that keeps you trapped in emotional pain.
But grief doesn’t have to stay this heavy forever. Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help clients process loss in a way that honors their emotions without keeping them stuck in suffering. ART allows your brain to release painful memories, soften the emotional intensity, and create space for healing—without forcing you to relive the pain over and over. It’s not about forgetting or moving on; it’s about finding a way to carry your loss differently, so it no longer defines your daily life. Therapy helps you hold onto love and connection while letting go of the pain that keeps you from fully living. You don’t have to carry this alone—healing is possible, and you deserve peace.

Dr. Janelle Louis
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, ND, PMHNP-BC
Grief changes you. In my approach to addressing loss or grief, I help you work through your experiences with compassion. Through our sessions, you’ll learn how to process your pain, honor your loved one's memory, and navigate your own life as it shifts. Sometimes we have to grieve something that never was, but it's important to keep in mind that healing doesn’t necessarily mean forgetting. Instead, it means cherishing what once was and finding a way to pivot and adapt to a different phase of life, and I'd be honored to walk with you through it.

Loss or Grief
Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
Grief can be one of the most painful experiences in life, often coming in unexpected ways and changing our lives forever. Often in grief, we find it hard to open up to our friends or family because they simply don’t get it or don’t know what to say.
Therapy can provide you with a space to say things out loud you might not be able to say with others, and to find support, encouragement, and constructive feedback to learn how to life your life without the person, place, or thing you loved.
Grief will never be “okay” and will likely never not hurt, but it doesn’t have to be so heavy and overwhelming. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Phoenix's extreme summer heat and sprawling, car-dependent geography contribute to social isolation and depression, with many residents spending months in largely indoor environments with limited organic social contact. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the disconnection and loneliness that can accompany life in a place where many people lack long-established roots and community ties. Phoenix has a significant veteran population, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and veteran family concerns are well represented. Banner Health and Dignity Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with a large private practice community serving Scottsdale, Tempe, and the East Valley.
