Grief
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.

Grief
Michele Robison, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
Loss is one of the most profound experiences we face as humans. Although it is something we all face, there are differences in how people grieve. Grief can also be compounded by the relationship one had with the person they lost, the conditions of the loss, as well as one's history with previous losses. I help individuals navigate life after loss. I also assist those who feel stuck in their grief. I have extensive training and experience walking alongside those who are grieving.

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.
