Grief
Chris Bradt
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
When we are inevitably confronted with significant loss in our lives, it can feel overwhelming. Our minds instinctively want to fix things that cause us pain, but in cases of loss or grief, that's simply not possible. As a mindfulness-based therapist, I create a space of compassion in which my clients can simply exist in whatever state they may be in at that time. From that place of radical acceptance, we unlock the innate potential in each of us for healing and growth. Rather than forcing things to be better through a fix-it approach, we instead practice tolerating the discomfort, learning from the wisdom inherent in challenges, and begin moving forward with your life.

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.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Grief is a natural response to loss, yet it often feels overwhelming and isolating. Whether you are grieving the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, or a major life transition, therapy can provide space to process the emotional, relational, and identity shifts that follow loss. My background includes grief-focused training and facilitating bereavement groups, and I approach this work with deep respect for the personal pace and meaning-making that grief requires.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my California Licensure (c;) I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

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.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Death. The most universal of life experiences. So why are we afraid to talk about it? We use euphemistic language in an effort to . . . what exactly? Does imagining her in “a better place” take the pain away? What do we say when children ask if they can visit this place, or when the deceased will return home? And then the casseroles and phone calls taper off. Always too soon. Then people stop asking, as though their questions will bring her to mind and cause you to suffer. Don’t they know you think of her every day?
Grief doesn’t ever really go away; it changes over time. Just when you think you are coping better with the loss, the holidays arrive, or the one-year anniversary hits, and there you are, overwhelmed by difficult emotions once again. I would be honored to sit alongside you on this difficult, and often lonely, journey.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
We experience grief—heartbreak—on the of a death of a loved one, whether it be our parent, a partner, a friend, or a pet. Grief is also very real when a relationship ends, our health declines, or a dream dies. We experience grief when we lose someone with whom we never resolved our differences. Sometimes the emptiness of grief lingers because we did not receive much-needed love and nurturing as a child. Today many of us feel a collective grief in relation to ecological or political conditions in our world. In our work together, we will tend with care and patience to the complex emotions that accompany the wounds of grief, honoring the ways in which pain from loss can change us, and holding space for acceptance and rediscovery of meaning and presence our lives.

Losing someone you love, or experiencing another profound loss, can change the way you see yourself and the world around you. Grief is deeply personal, and there is no single correct way or timetable for healing. I offer a compassionate space where you can express your sadness, anger, confusion, or loneliness without feeling pressured to move on. Together, we can honor the significance of your loss while helping you gradually rediscover meaning, connection, and the possibility of joy in your life.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Grief takes many forms. It may follow the death of someone you love, the ending of a relationship, infertility or pregnancy loss, a major life transition, or the loss of a future you imagined for yourself. Rather than treating grief as something to “get over,” I offer space to tend what has been lost, make meaning of the experience, and allow a changed life to gradually take shape.

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.

Lisa Paer
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
Losing someone or something you love can be one of the most difficult and painful experiences in life. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, lonely, and hopeless. I went through it myself after the death of my father, and I know how hard it can be to cope with the emotions and challenges that come with bereavement.
I can provide a safe and supportive space where you can express your feelings, process your loss, and find ways to heal. I use techniques such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and EMDR to help you process the pain of grief and adjust to a world without your loved one.
I respect your individuality and your unique way of grieving. I will not judge you or try to change you. I will listen to you and collaborate with you to achieve your goals. Grief is a natural and normal response to loss, and I can help support you though it.
