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.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Grief is not limited to death. It can emerge through changes in health, disability, chronic illness, neurodivergent discovery, relationships, estrangement, identity shifts, community loss, life transitions, unmet hopes, or futures that no longer look the way they once did. Grief can also arise alongside relief, freedom, anger, gratitude, clarity, and other emotions that do not always fit neatly into conventional understandings of loss.
My approach honors grief as a natural response to loving, caring, hoping, becoming, and being deeply connected to what matters. Together, we create space for mourning, remembrance, meaning-making, and the often nonlinear realities of loss. Rather than rushing toward acceptance or closure, therapy supports making room for the full complexity of grief while tending to the nervous system, honoring what has changed, carrying forward what remains meaningful, and discovering what it means to continue living alongside loss.

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.

Richmond is a Contra Costa Bay Area city with a history defined by its role as a major World War II shipbuilding hub and by the environmental and community health impacts of the Chevron oil refinery, which has operated there for over a century and whose explosions and toxic releases—most notably in 2012—have created a legacy of environmental trauma and justified community distrust of institutions that shapes how healthcare and mental health services are received. The city has a predominantly Black and Latino population that has faced significant economic challenges, high crime rates in some areas, and persistent underinvestment, creating a mental health landscape marked by community resilience alongside significant unmet need. Contra Costa Health Services provides mental health services, and community health organizations supplement public resources. Common therapy concerns include environmental and community trauma, racial identity and systemic stress, economic anxiety, and the particular challenges of building mental health trust in a community that has experienced institutional harm.
