Grief
Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief can come from the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a home, an identity, or a chapter of life you weren't ready to leave behind. I offer a compassionate space to experience what you're feeling while gradually finding your way toward meaning, connection, and life beyond the loss.

Grief
Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Grief is universal, but there is nothing generic about the way we experience it. Every loss has its own history, meaning, and emotional complexity.
We grieve the death of people we love, but we also grieve relationships, pregnancies, health, physical abilities, careers, identities, and futures we imagined would unfold differently. And we rarely experience one loss in complete isolation. A loss in the present can stir up older losses, unfinished relationships, and feelings we thought we had already put behind us.
Grief also isn't simply sadness. There may be anger, guilt, regret, relief, fear, resentment, or things left unsaid. Sometimes what makes grieving especially difficult is feeling something you don't think you're supposed to feel.
My approach to grief therapy is not to rush you toward acceptance or try to “happy you up.” Sometimes you need a place where you can simply be devastated for a while. Therapy gives you dedicated space each week to go fully into what you're carrying without worrying about overwhelming the person sitting across from you. We are built to meet you there.
Whether you're dealing with bereavement, the loss of a loved one, divorce, pregnancy loss, a major life transition, or grief that simply isn't loosening its grip, we'll help you make sense of the experience at your own pace. The goal isn't to get over someone or something that mattered deeply. It's to find a way to carry the loss differently, integrate it into your life, and gradually make room for living alongside it.

Santa Rosa is the largest city in California's Sonoma County and the hub of the North Bay wine country region, and its mental health landscape has been profoundly shaped by the 2017 Tubbs Fire and subsequent wildfires, which destroyed thousands of homes and left lasting trauma for many residents. Wildfire-related PTSD, grief, climate anxiety, and the stress of community rebuilding remain ongoing therapy concerns alongside the broader mental health needs of a mid-sized California city. Sonoma County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, while a well-developed private therapy sector serves professionals in the wine, healthcare, and tech industries. Many therapists in the Santa Rosa area have developed particular expertise in disaster trauma and environmental grief, reflecting the distinctive challenges of living in a region with elevated wildfire risk.
