Grief
Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief often reshapes our sense of identity and meaning. I offer a compassionate space to honor loss—whether of a loved one, relationship, or imagined future—while helping clients stay connected to their capacity for love, vitality, and renewal.

Grief
Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Grief is universal, but there is nothing generic about the way we experience it. Every loss has its own history, meaning, and emotional complexity.
We grieve the death of people we love, but we also grieve relationships, pregnancies, health, physical abilities, careers, identities, and futures we imagined would unfold differently. And we rarely experience one loss in complete isolation. A loss in the present can stir up older losses, unfinished relationships, and feelings we thought we had already put behind us.
Grief also isn't simply sadness. There may be anger, guilt, regret, relief, fear, resentment, or things left unsaid. Sometimes what makes grieving especially difficult is feeling something you don't think you're supposed to feel.
My approach to grief therapy is not to rush you toward acceptance or try to “happy you up.” Sometimes you need a place where you can simply be devastated for a while. Therapy gives you dedicated space each week to go fully into what you're carrying without worrying about overwhelming the person sitting across from you. We are built to meet you there.
Whether you're dealing with bereavement, the loss of a loved one, divorce, pregnancy loss, a major life transition, or grief that simply isn't loosening its grip, we'll help you make sense of the experience at your own pace. The goal isn't to get over someone or something that mattered deeply. It's to find a way to carry the loss differently, integrate it into your life, and gradually make room for living alongside it.

Grief
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Grief does not follow a timeline — and it rarely looks the way people expect it to. Loss can arrive in many forms: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a career change, a medical diagnosis, or the quiet grief of a life that did not unfold the way you imagined. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I provide evidence-based grief therapy for adults navigating bereavement, complicated grief, anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and loss-related depression and anxiety. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help clients move through grief with compassion, clarity, and genuine support. Telehealth grief therapy available across 40+ states.

Grief
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no "right" way to move through it. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, changes in your health, or the life you expected to have, grief can bring overwhelming emotions that affect every aspect of your daily life. You may experience sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, loneliness, or a sense of being stuck, wondering if life will ever feel the same again. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss without judgment or pressure to "move on." Healing from grief isn't about forgetting or letting go of the person or experience that mattered to you—it's about learning how to carry your loss while finding ways to move forward with meaning and hope.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, navigate life changes, and make space for both grief and healing. When grief is complicated by trauma, sudden loss, or unresolved experiences, therapy can help you safely process those memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
We recognize that grief extends beyond death. Many people experience profound grief following divorce, infertility, miscarriage, the loss of a beloved pet, estrangement from family, retirement, chronic illness, or major life transitions. Whatever your loss, your feelings are valid, and you deserve support through the healing process. Although grief may always remain a part of your story, it does not have to define your future. Together, we'll help you honor what you've lost, reconnect with your strengths, and gradually create space for healing, resilience, and hope while carrying the memories and meaning that matter most.
