Grief
Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
Grief rearranges the landscape of our life often disorienting and painful. It’s important to know how to attend to your grief and give it the time and space it needs. I have extensive clinical experience supporting individuals grieving a death or coping with a life-limiting illness as well as providing individual and group support for those healing from PTSD and death related trauma issues.

Grief
Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
We experience grief—heartbreak—on the of a death of a loved one, whether it be our parent, a partner, a friend, or a pet. Grief is also very real when a relationship ends, our health declines, or a dream dies. We experience grief when we lose someone with whom we never resolved our differences. Sometimes the emptiness of grief lingers because we did not receive much-needed love and nurturing as a child. Today many of us feel a collective grief in relation to ecological or political conditions in our world. In our work together, we will tend with care and patience to the complex emotions that accompany the wounds of grief, honoring the ways in which pain from loss can change us, and holding space for acceptance and rediscovery of meaning and presence our lives.

Grief
Jennifer Bearden
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief and major transitions can feel profoundly disorienting. I offer a compassionate space to honor the full range of your emotions—the sadness, anger, confusion, and loss—allowing every 'part' of you to be seen and held. We'll work on finding meaning and committing to the values that guide you, even in the midst of pain and change. You will be supported in navigating this new terrain and finding restorative comfort through natural connection and self-compassion.

Grief
Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Both EMDR and insight-oriented approaches can be truly beneficial when processing loss or grief. Sometimes a client mostly needs a supportive presence and a space to talk about the loss and fully feel all the feelings involved. Other times, trauma processing via EMDR can be incredibly effective in releasing any pent up or leftover painful feelings of regret, loss, guilt, or sadness. We will work together to determine what course—and what pace—is best for you.

Santa Maria is a Central Coast California city in Santa Barbara County with one of California's largest proportions of Latino residents and an economy anchored by agriculture, oil, and wine production—particularly in the nearby Santa Maria Valley wine region—and the mental health landscape reflects the specific challenges of a working-class agricultural community where many residents are farmworkers or their family members, facing occupational health risks, economic precarity, immigration stress, and limited access to services. Marian Regional Medical Center provides health services, and community health organizations serve the significant uninsured and underinsured farmworker population, though the gap between mental health need and available culturally competent Spanish-language care is persistent. Common therapy concerns include farmworker stress and occupational health, immigration trauma and undocumented status anxiety, family and intergenerational dynamics in a community navigating significant acculturation pressures, and access barriers in a city where the majority population is often underserved by formal mental health systems.
