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
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
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.

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.

Michael Klinkner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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
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.

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.

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.

Grief
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.

Tempe is home to Arizona State University, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, giving the city an unusually young demographic profile and a mental health landscape dominated by the needs of students, young adults, and university staff. Therapists in Tempe frequently work with issues common to young adult life—academic stress, identity development, anxiety, relationship challenges, and substance use—and ASU's comprehensive counseling center is a key resource for enrolled students. The city's location at the center of the Phoenix metro area means therapists are readily accessible across a range of specialties, with practices concentrated in the areas around Mill Avenue and downtown Tempe. Many therapists in the area offer sliding scale or reduced-fee services to serve the student population alongside their full-fee private practice clients.
