Ricardo Peña
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief counseling , also known as bereavement therapy, is a form of therapy intended to help you cope with loss, like the death of a partner, family member, friend, colleague, career, position or pet. The death of a loved one can cause both emotional and physical pain that can sometimes impair your ability to function.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Losing a loved one is an inevitable part of life, and the grieving process can be overwhelming and all-consuming. However, grief and loss extend beyond the death of a loved one; they can also encompass other experiences such as job loss, the end of a relationship, or a significant change in one's life. These losses can evoke feelings of grief and necessitate support and processing.
It is essential to recognize that there is no right or wrong way to grieve, and seeking therapy during this time can provide invaluable support. Therapy can assist in navigating the complex emotions associated with loss and finding healthy ways to honor and cope with our grief. You do not have to face this challenging time alone; together, we can navigate the journey of grief and embark on the path to healing. Take that important first step towards healing by scheduling an appointment today. Trust me, it can truly make a difference.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked for many years with those individuals who have experienced loss. Some of my clinical work is educating clients on the grieving process and allowing for further understanding of how the client is impacted by grief and loss. My clients who experience loss feel supported and encouraged to understand the feelings and thoughts they are having. I provide a non-judgmental space for individuals who have a history of loss and grief to feel supported.

In addition to empathetic counseling I encourage the individual to join a grief counseling group. I often find that a person in deep grief may have unresolved issues with the deceased. I am aware of the many types of grief experiences as well. People may experience grief over the loss of a relationship, the death of a loved one or even a beloved pet.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Michael Namekata
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The loss of those close to us can lead to overwhelming emotions and sometimes a sense of numbness. It can impact our ability to sleep, eat, work, or enjoy everyday activities. Personalized therapy effectively integrates a safe and compassionate setting with advanced therapy skills and techniques to help you process the complex and challenging emotions associated with loss. This can lead to returning to an effective state while still honoring the relationship and memories you have.

Loss or 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.
