Grief
Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Grief is not just about death, it’s the ache of change, the quiet absence of what once felt steady, the loss of who we were before everything shifted. I specialize in grief counseling for those navigating both external losses such as the death of a loved one, separation, or life transitions and internal grief, the mourning of lost identity, belonging, or safety.
Grief can feel isolating, confusing, or endless, but you are not alone. Together, we’ll create space to honor your pain without rushing your process, helping you rebuild connection, meaning, and trust in yourself. My approach draws from relational trauma therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to support emotional healing and reconnection with your authentic self.

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.

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.

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.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Coping with loss or grief can be an overwhelming and deeply personal journey. Hypnotherapy offers a compassionate and supportive approach to navigating these emotions, helping individuals find solace and healing. Through hypnotherapy, clients can access their subconscious mind, where unresolved grief and pain often reside. In a state of deep relaxation, individuals can gently explore their feelings of loss, allowing themselves to fully process and release these emotions.

Douglairian psychology apc
Marriage and Family Therapist, Lmft
I specialize in grief counseling. Losing a loved one is always difficult, and processing that grief is a non-linear journey that involves adapting to a "new reality" while honoring what was lost. Whether you are grieving a death, a relationship, or another major life change, my focus is on helping you move from surviving to growing.

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.

Grief
Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
While the loss of loved ones is a natural and normal part of life, loss that is unexpected, untimely, accidental, or drawn out, may lead to trauma for those left behind. The grief associated with such trauma can be debilitating and, perhaps even more challenging, isolating. Such grief can also have a cascading effect, leading to deeper depression, anxiety, fear, and maladaptive behaviors to address these overwhelming emotions. While grieving is natural and must run its course, I believe strongly that any loss can be helped through exploration of the corresponding emotions and behaviors with an objective and trusted therapist.
My approach to grief and loss is anchored in my own experience. Having lost most of my family over a very brief window of time, I know well the many emotions that accompany such unexpected and sudden loss. My treatment approach is a merger of my clinical skill set with a deeply empathetic ear, anchored in the coping mechanisms I personally deployed to help manage the many transitions through my own grief. In my work with my patients around loss and grief, I focus on navigating the negative emotions that can accompany loss (guilt, anger, hopelessness, overwhelming sadness) while, over time and when appropriate, jointly crafting with my patients a narrative that celebrates the life of those that have moved on, and facilitates the release of those emotions that can keep patients “stuck” in the trauma of unexpected loss.

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.

Los Angeles has one of the highest concentrations of therapists in the United States, with a culture that broadly embraces personal growth, self-development, and long-term therapeutic work. The entertainment industry generates distinct demand for therapists who understand performance anxiety, identity, the psychological pressures of creative careers, and the particular challenges of fame and public scrutiny. LA's extraordinary diversity means therapists fluent in Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Farsi, Armenian, and Tagalog are all abundant, making culturally matched care particularly accessible. Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA Health system anchor institutional mental health services across the Los Angeles basin.
