Grief
Bonnie Rae
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Grief and love are different sides of the same coin. We cannot have one without the other. Navigating and feeling grief is a big part of my work. Whether you come to therapy in a time of loss and grief or not, it ultimately surfaces within our work together. I do not believe that grief always has an ending, but we can most certainly work on forming a relationship with it, feeling it in a safe space, and learning how to navigate its tides. When people share their grief with me, it is a true honor to hold. Rae Therapy Group has a few specialized grief therapists, and a grief group.

Grief
Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Grief takes many forms — death, endings, unrealized dreams. Therapy offers space to mourn fully while slowly integrating loss into a life that can still hold meaning and connection. I beleive that from grief can also come joy, so as we honor grief we make space for what we have known and loved and get clear on what we want.

Grief
Matthew Kijak, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief can be a heavy and overwhelming burden to bear, especially after losing a loved one. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to navigate the grieving process, in your own unique way, and come to terms with your loss. Together, we will honor the memory of your loved one and explore the complex emotions that come with grief. Using evidence-based approaches such as grief counseling and trauma-informed care, I will support you in finding ways to cope with your loss, and healing looks different for each one of us.
I understand that losing a loved one can change us permanently, and that healing takes time. My role as a therapist is to walk with you, to listen, and to guide you on this journey of self-discovery and understanding. My goal is to empower you to find a new sense of balance and inner peace as you navigate the grieving process in a way that works best for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards healing and finding meaning in your life again.

Grief
Ben Leddick
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Loss takes many forms and how we grieve is rooted in our family of origin. If you have found yourself in the process of grieving and unsure of what is normal, okay, or right, it can be helpful to process those feelings by building insight into your past while sharing the depths of your loss.

Pasadena is home to Caltech and the Huntington Hospital, and the city's intellectual, academic culture creates demand for therapists experienced in working with high-achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological demands of elite academic and scientific environments. The city's established residential character and proximity to Los Angeles give it a distinct therapy landscape — less entertainment-focused than West Hollywood, more oriented toward depth work, relationships, and long-term growth. Pasadena also has a significant older adult population, with therapists specializing in aging, life review, and elder family dynamics well represented. Many practices serve clients drawn from across the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities.
