Grief
Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Grief takes many forms — death, endings, unrealized dreams. Therapy offers space to mourn fully while slowly integrating loss into a life that can still hold meaning and connection. I beleive that from grief can also come joy, so as we honor grief we make space for what we have known and loved and get clear on what we want.

Grief
Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Grief is not limited to death. It can emerge through changes in health, disability, chronic illness, neurodivergent discovery, relationships, estrangement, identity shifts, community loss, life transitions, unmet hopes, or futures that no longer look the way they once did. Grief can also arise alongside relief, freedom, anger, gratitude, clarity, and other emotions that do not always fit neatly into conventional understandings of loss.
My approach honors grief as a natural response to loving, caring, hoping, becoming, and being deeply connected to what matters. Together, we create space for mourning, remembrance, meaning-making, and the often nonlinear realities of loss. Rather than rushing toward acceptance or closure, therapy supports making room for the full complexity of grief while tending to the nervous system, honoring what has changed, carrying forward what remains meaningful, and discovering what it means to continue living alongside loss.

Berkeley is home to the University of California, Berkeley—one of the world's great public research universities—and has a progressive, intellectually vibrant character and a community culture that is among the most therapy-positive in the United States, with an unusually high density of licensed therapists relative to population. The university's health services include counseling for enrolled students, and the academic and activist culture of Berkeley creates specific mental health pressures around perfectionism, imposter syndrome, political engagement, and the burnout of sustained social activism. The city's housing market is among the most expensive in the country, and financial precarity is a significant stressor for students, artists, and workers who value Berkeley but struggle to afford it. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, activist burnout, identity and social justice, anxiety, depression, and the complex emotional experience of living in a place with deeply held ideals about equity alongside the daily reality of inequality.
