Karina Larios
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Loss and grief are inevitable to our human experience, and one of the most painful. Whether it be a traumatic, ambiguous, or complicated loss, I understand that grief can be complex, messy, and deeply unsettling. My approach is compassionate, curious, and I invite my clients to engage in conversations and practices that can help the emotional processing.

Grief
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no "right" way to move through it. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, changes in your health, or the life you expected to have, grief can bring overwhelming emotions that affect every aspect of your daily life. You may experience sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, loneliness, or a sense of being stuck, wondering if life will ever feel the same again. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss without judgment or pressure to "move on." Healing from grief isn't about forgetting or letting go of the person or experience that mattered to you—it's about learning how to carry your loss while finding ways to move forward with meaning and hope.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, navigate life changes, and make space for both grief and healing. When grief is complicated by trauma, sudden loss, or unresolved experiences, therapy can help you safely process those memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
We recognize that grief extends beyond death. Many people experience profound grief following divorce, infertility, miscarriage, the loss of a beloved pet, estrangement from family, retirement, chronic illness, or major life transitions. Whatever your loss, your feelings are valid, and you deserve support through the healing process. Although grief may always remain a part of your story, it does not have to define your future. Together, we'll help you honor what you've lost, reconnect with your strengths, and gradually create space for healing, resilience, and hope while carrying the memories and meaning that matter most.

Grief
Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The Foundational Statement of my approach to loss is this: 'Some things that I want, I can have if I work for them very diligently, or wait for them. But, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual health necessitates letting go of what I cannot have...by grieving it...and then embracing what I have left! It is true that Grief is the path to healing. Therapy can provide a safe place to land in the process of grief so that a person can come to healthy 'resolve' in their experience of loss.

Grief
David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Grief can show up in many ways, including sadness, anger, confusion, or even numbness. It can be difficult to process, especially when life continues moving forward around you. In therapy we will create space for you to talk openly about your loss and move through your grief at your own pace. The goal is not to rush the process, but to help you find ways to carry it while still staying connected to your life.
