John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Loss is inevitable and timeless - grief is not. A large portion of his journey was working with Zen Hospice, and helping individuals and families deal with loss and transform their grief into something else. It is a journey best not walked alone, and the practice is walking through the middle, and learning that it will pass.

Shohreh ("Sho-ray") Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing loss can be one of life’s most difficult challenges. Grief brings a complex mix of emotions that can feel overwhelming and isolating. Whether you are mourning the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or any significant life change, it is important to find a way to process your feelings in a supportive environment.
As a compassionate counselor, I provide a safe and understanding space to help you explore your grief, honor your emotions, and gradually find a path toward acceptance and renewal. Each person’s experience with loss is unique, and your journey will be approached with sensitivity and respect.
If you are ready to receive support and guidance during this difficult time, please contact me. Together, we can work toward restoring balance and hope in your life.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help people move through grief and loss by offering a grounded, compassionate place to feel the full weight of what they’re carrying without having to do it alone. Together, we make sense of the waves—numbness, sorrow, anger, confusion—and gently explore what it means to live with this absence while staying connected to what matters most. My approach is tender, patient, and deeply human, supporting you as you rebuild your footing and find moments of meaning and ease again.
