Nekea Strong (Abundant Life Therapy)
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT, APCC
My work with individuals experiencing grief shows by meeting them where they are and honoring their unique relationship to loss. Grief can impact emotional, physical, and relational well being, often in ways that feel overwhelming or unexpected. In our work together, I help clients make space for their grief without pressure to “move on,” while gently building tools to cope with day to day life. My goal is to support clients in integrating their loss in a way that feels meaningful, compassionate, and aligned with their values.

Grief
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Grief, if ignored, can disrupt your mood, sleep, concentration, and slow your life down to a halt. Whether your grief is from the loss of a loved one, tragic loss from a fire or crime, the end of a relationship, changes in your health or something else, therapy can help you skillfully navigate it at your own pace. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that help you avoid emotional spirals related to heartbreak and loss. You can learn to hold it all in a way that allows you to find some peace and move forward.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Grief isn't only about death. For a teen it can be the divorce, the move, the friend group that closed ranks, the parent who isn't the same anymore, the version of their life that ended without anyone calling it a loss. Teens often grieve without the language for it, and without permission, the people around them are grieving too, or the loss doesn't look like one from the outside.
It also rarely looks like sadness. It can show up as anger, numbness, a sudden drop in school, clinginess or distance, or a teen who seems fine for weeks and then isn't. Grief in adolescence tends to come in waves rather than stages, and it often resurfaces later, at each new developmental step.
I work with teens through losses of both kinds: the external ones: a death, a separation, a major transition and the internal ones, the mourning of who they were, where they belonged, or how safe the world used to feel.
Together we make space for what they're carrying without rushing it. My work draws on relational trauma therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness, which matters here because grief lives in the body as much as the mind. The goal isn't to move your teen past it. It's to help them carry it in a way that leaves room for the rest of their life.

Grief
Sonny Granade
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing a significant loss—and the grief that follows—can leave us feeling unanchored and overwhelmed, caught between who we once were and who we are becoming. I work with my clients to gently and compassionately explore what exists within these vulnerable periods of transition, including learning how to stay present with the pain of grief rather than rushing past it. Within that space, we make room for growth, healing, and meaningful change to emerge over time.

Jeremy Rhoades
Counselor/Therapist, MFT, LPCC, Harm Reduction Specialist, Psychedelic Integration Consultant
Loss or grief can be a great portal to being present. We can work with loss and grief directly to transmute the energy, so that you are not stuck in the story of the loss, but rather able to acknowledge the difficulty and see how it transports you into the next phase of your life. Or, if it is too difficult to approach it directly, we can slowly build acceptance techniques and see what tools help to mitigate the intensity.

Grief
Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I offer a safe, confidential space where you can explore and process the profound emotional and psychological impact of your unique loss. My approach moves beyond traditional "stages" to recognize grief as a complex, non-linear journey, whether you're navigating the pain of bereavement, the disorienting change of divorce, the strain of chronic illness, or other significant life transitions. Utilizing evidence-based modalities, I will help you build adaptive coping strategies, find ways to meaningfully integrate the loss into your life story, and ultimately move toward healing and renewed purpose, without requiring you to "get over" what mattered. A loss stays with us forever but it doesn't have to hurt so much.

When Loss Changes Everything
Grief isn’t just about death — it’s about all the moments when life changes in ways we didn’t choose. The end of a relationship, a shift in health, the loss of a loved one, or even a transition that brings both relief and sadness can leave us feeling disoriented and alone. Grief is not a problem to fix. It’s a natural, healthy process — but it can feel unbearable when you’re living through it. You may notice waves of emotion that come without warning, moments of guilt or anger, or times when you wonder if you’ll ever feel “normal” again.
I’ve worked in the field of grief and bereavement for over a decade, supporting people as they navigate the complex mix of emotions that come with loss. Using a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT, I’ll help you make space for your feelings while also building tools to:
Process guilt, regret, and “what ifs” that can keep you stuck
Understand and normalize the changing rhythms of grief
Reconnect with moments of peace, purpose, and meaning
Honor your loss while rediscovering your capacity for joy and connection
Grief is deeply personal, and healing doesn’t mean forgetting — it means learning to live fully while carrying your memories with love. Together, we’ll move gently between sorrow and strength, always at your pace.
I BELIEVE:
Grief is love that has nowhere to go — and it deserves compassion, not correction.
There’s no right timeline for healing. You’re allowed to take your time.
Sadness and hope can coexist; they often do.
Meaning can be rebuilt, even after profound loss.
Healing grows in spaces of safety, warmth, and shared humanity.
