Grief, if ignored, can disrupt your mood, sleep, concentration, and slow your life down to a halt.

I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that help you avoid emotional spirals related to heartbreak and loss. You can learn to hold it all in a way that allows you to find some peace and move forward.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Lisa Paer, counselor/therapist
Grief

Lisa Paer

Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LPCC, EMDR Certified
Losing someone or something you love can be one of the most difficult and painful experiences in life. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, lonely, and hopeless. I went through it myself after the death of my father, and I know how hard it can be to cope with the emotions and challenges that come with bereavement. I can provide a safe and supportive space where you can express your feelings, process your loss, and find ways to heal. I use techniques such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), and EMDR to help you process the pain of grief and adjust to a world without your loved one. I respect your individuality and your unique way of grieving. I will not judge you or try to change you. I will listen to you and collaborate with you to achieve your goals. Grief is a natural and normal response to loss, and I can help support you though it.

Grieving the death or loss of someone or of something that was important to us is an inevitable part of life. Your emotions might be 'all over the place,' from deep sadness to relief. Anger, confusion, frustration, and reassessment can also be part of it. Wherever you are in your experience it can be helpful to share and talk it through with a professional experienced in this area.

Grief

Dr. Eric van der Voort

Psychologist, PsyD, CST
Grief results from many types of loss. A loss can be the death of a loved one, a breakup, losing a job, or a change in financial security. We can also experience the loss of our identity, purpose, ability, or level of functioning. Everyday life events, such as moving, can involve adjusting to a new city, culture, or trying to make new friends. This can mean grieving the loss of a life we used to have. In order to successfully grieve, we need create new meaning in our lives. However, certain things can get in the way of this process. These “stuck points” might include anger and resentment, guilt, seeing the lost person or thing as being “all good” or “all bad,” or having difficulty talking about the loss. If you are experiencing a painful loss and feel overwhelmed with where to start, your search for a therapist is a great step.
