Grief is a deeply personal experience, and there is no "right" way to move through it. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a career, changes in your health, or the life you expected to have, grief can bring overwhelming emotions that affect every aspect of your daily life. You may experience sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, loneliness, or a sense of being stuck, wondering if life will ever feel the same again. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can process your loss without judgment or pressure to "move on." Healing from grief isn't about forgetting or letting go of the person or experience that mattered to you—it's about learning how to carry your loss while finding ways to move forward with meaning and hope.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, navigate life changes, and make space for both grief and healing. When grief is complicated by trauma, sudden loss, or unresolved experiences, therapy can help you safely process those memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
We recognize that grief extends beyond death. Many people experience profound grief following divorce, infertility, miscarriage, the loss of a beloved pet, estrangement from family, retirement, chronic illness, or major life transitions. Whatever your loss, your feelings are valid, and you deserve support through the healing process. Although grief may always remain a part of your story, it does not have to define your future. Together, we'll help you honor what you've lost, reconnect with your strengths, and gradually create space for healing, resilience, and hope while carrying the memories and meaning that matter most.

Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Grief is a deeply personal response to losing someone or something meaningful. It may follow a death, relationship ending, health change, relocation, or the loss of a dream or former identity. Grief has no fixed timetable and may bring sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, or loneliness.
I provide a compassionate space where you can honor your loss without pressure to “move on.” Together, we work to understand your emotions, find healthy ways to carry what matters, and gradually reconnect with meaning, relationships, and hope. Healing does not require forgetting; it allows love and loss to become part of your life without defining its future.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Grief has it's own life journey. Grief has stages, but often not in an order we can recognize. Losing a loved one can be debilitating, confusing and often emotionally overwhelming. Walking through the grief process with a therapist can help you understand the intense feelings you may encounter. There are times when you may feel difficult emotions even years later -- maybe what we call a 'delayed grief response.' We can recover from the loss of a loved one. Life may never be the same after a trauma, but the intense pain of the loss is not something you have to live with forever.
