Grief
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating the difficult emotions that come with loss or grief. My approach is focused on providing a safe, compassionate space for clients to process their feelings, whether it's the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or any significant life change. I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such art, music, spirituality, and mindfulness, to help clients manage the pain of their grief, find meaning in their experience, and gradually heal. My goal is to help individuals honor their grief while also supporting them in adjusting to life after loss and finding a path toward emotional recovery and growth.

Grief
Alice Barton
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Many clients who suffer losses whether it be through sudden death or illness, have not properly grieved during the first year after the loss and are left with "complicated grief" . This can interfere with a person's normal functioning including loss of concentration, job loss, less participation in enjoyable activities and many other changes.

Grief
Lynda Griffin Bull
Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC
Grief is a deeply personal experience that can follow the loss of a loved one, a major life change, or even the loss of a hoped-for future. Feelings of sadness, confusion, anger, or numbness are all part of the grieving process, and everyone moves through it at their own pace. I provide a compassionate space where you can talk openly about your loss and the impact it has had on your life. Together we will honor your experience, process the emotions that arise, and support you in gradually finding meaning and connection again.

Grief
Claire Karakey
Therapist, LPC, MC
Grief is the pain that is naturally felt when a loss occurs. The loss can be from the death of a loved one or pet, the loss of a job or a friendship, or even a sense of lost safety after a traumatic event. Feelings of Grief and Loss happen to everyone and can.
The stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and, finally, acceptance – they tend to happen in this order but that is not always the case. In fact, depression from a loss may occur years after the loss itself. It is important for individuals to work through the emotions following grief as they are necessary and normal.
However, if the anger, isolation, or depression do not pass within a reasonable amount of time then professional support may be needed. If the pain is so constant and severe that everyday life cannot be resumed, it could be a condition called “complicated grief” or the individual could have fallen into a clinical depression. A psychotherapist can evaluate and treat these conditions so a healthy life can be regained.

Grief
Sophie Pierce
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I approach grief and loss through a compassionate, relational lens, recognizing that grief is a deeply human response to experiences of change, separation, and loss. Drawing from attachment theory and developmental perspectives, I understand grief as a reflection of the bonds and relationships that matter deeply to us. Therapy provides a supportive space to process emotions, honor what has been lost, and gradually find ways to move forward while carrying those connections with us.

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.

Everyone processes grief or loss in their own way, so it is important to find an empathetic therapist who can help you even when you feel like your identity has been destroyed from loss.

Scottsdale's affluence and wellness-oriented culture generate consistently high demand for therapy, with a population that generally views mental health care favorably and has the financial means to engage in longer-term work — making it one of the most therapist-dense cities in Arizona. The city's luxury resort industry and reputation as a destination for high-net-worth retirees and second-home owners create a distinctive therapy clientele, with practitioners frequently addressing relationship complexity, identity in retirement, wealth-related stress, and the gap between external success and internal wellbeing. HonorHealth and Mayo Clinic Phoenix provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of Arizona's most established private practice communities. Scottsdale's significant recovery community — drawn by the concentration of high-end treatment centers in the surrounding Sonoran Desert — also drives substantial demand for therapists specializing in addiction aftercare and dual diagnosis work.
