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
Romina Schnelle
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief is a deeply personal experience that can follow the loss of a loved one, a beloved pet, a relationship, a significant life role, or the future you envisioned. There is no "right" way to grieve, and healing does not mean forgetting. I provide a compassionate, supportive space to help you process your loss, navigate the complex emotions that often accompany grief, and adapt to life after loss. When appropriate, I also incorporate EMDR to help address traumatic aspects of the loss or experiences that may be complicating the grieving process.

Grief
David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Grief can show up in many ways, including sadness, anger, confusion, or even numbness. It can be difficult to process, especially when life continues moving forward around you. In therapy we will create space for you to talk openly about your loss and move through your grief at your own pace. The goal is not to rush the process, but to help you find ways to carry it while still staying connected to your life.
