Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Part of being human is experiencing grief/loss. In the pandemic, we all experienced it with sheltering in place, social distancing, among deaths from COVID. We can feel grief when we experience a loss of any kind, including the world pre-pandemic to death(s) of loved ones. Grief is a natural yet complicated process; everyone's journey through grief is unique and valid.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Loss is inevitable and timeless - grief is not. A large portion of his journey was working with Zen Hospice, and helping individuals and families deal with loss and transform their grief into something else. It is a journey best not walked alone, and the practice is walking through the middle, and learning that it will pass.

Grief and loss are something we all face, but they are unique to each of us. I know loss can be challenging. From death, breakups, and job loss to aging, grief, and loss come in different forms. You are not alone; therapy can help you move through and forward.

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.

Octave Therapy Licensed Clinical Social Work Inc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You can't stop crying. You are thinking of so many what-ifs, coulds and shoulds. You miss your loved ones so much it hurts. Sometimes you wonder if you will be able to stand the hurt. You are hearing it's tome to "get over" it. No, it's time to talk to someone who understands. Sometimes no one died but you have experienced a devastating loss of life as you knew it. We at Embrace will work with you.

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.

Hayward is a working-class East Bay city with one of the Bay Area's most diverse populations — deep Latino, Filipino, Black, and South Asian roots — plus a state university campus in the hills above town. Economic pressure from Bay Area housing costs, immigrant family dynamics, and student needs at Cal State East Bay shape the mental health picture. Alameda County behavioral health services, community clinics, and the wider Bay Area therapy market provide access, though affordable culturally matched care remains stretched.
