Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
For many years, I worked in animal rescue and animal welfare in the Bay Area. I volunteer with Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco, California, and rescue senior dogs. As someone who has loved and lost two senior dogs over the past several years, I understand the pain that comes with losing a companion animal. If your loved one passed over the rainbow bridge, you are not alone. This space will honor your grief and support you in your journey.

You've experienced a loss. Maybe it was the death of a loved one, or maybe it was another type of loss. I specialize in helping people grieve while also finding meaning as they move forward. I spent 2 years working at a hospice agency training in working with grief and loss.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing loss is one of the most difficult experiences a person can face. Loss can come in many forms from the loss of a dream or ideal to the loss of a relationship to the loss of a loved one. I help resource clients as they heal from their loss by keeping them connected to self and community. There are many great resources that can help us move through grief. Tapping into self-compassion, leaning on loved ones, connecting with nature or spirituality. I offer guidance during these tough moments to help transform the grief into an opening to orient towards peace and what matters most to us.

Grief/loss can seem too much to bear in moments- the support of a trusted other can facilitate the healing process where it may get stuck. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

"Grief is love with no place to go" -- that is the framework that guides my work with grief and loss. I work to make space for the love that no longer knows where to go.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Grief and loss may be one of the most universal experiences, yet it can be extremely isolating experiencing grief in a society that does not know how to talk about these issues. My experience includes grief training and working with individuals and groups specifically with bereavement, death, and grief.

Christina Shonkwiler
Hypnotherapist, MA, CHT
Grief and loss can permeate our lives in many ways. From important deaths to smaller goodbyes, we may be living with an ongoing sense that something is wrong or missing. Grieving is a process that helps to honor what is, the weight of the loss, and being witnessed in this process can help the new self emerge from the ashes. I am a hospice volunteer and have a special focus on grieving and bereavement, and I hold a supportive container with compassion and experience.

Kate Merrill Evans
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Grief changes us. Grieving a loss, whether it is fresh or long-standing is something I hold a great deal of reverence around. I can help you navigate the terrain and integrate how the process teaches us new aspects of self, others, and the world. As a trained Ceremonial Healing Practitioner in the Song of Sophia lineage, I can also guide you through the shadowy portals grief can sometimes open up for us.
