Loss or Grief
Erica McArn
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Grief and loss can have a significant impact on every aspect of an individual's life, health, and psyche. Often, those experiencing loss are expected to grieve and then "move on" and "let go," often without the understanding that the experience of losing a loved one has life long effects. I provide a welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental environment conducive to the processing of loss and grief and have experience with the complicated feelings and grief associated with traumatic loss, such as loss by suicide.

Julie Millman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
The emotional pain from loss or grief may be a result of a longer term series of disappointments and losses that have accumulated over time or it could be a more recent experience of grief in your life. It can feel like no one really understands the grief you are going though. You many wonder if it is normal to feel all the feelings that you have? You may wonder when the intensity of the pain will become more bearable. You don't have to be in this process without professional care. Call me on the phone and ask a few questions and consider scheduling an appointment so that you have the professional support that may make a difference.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
When the unexpected happens, it’s a shock to the system. When you experience an abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth, feelings of guilt, shame, rage (or even secret relief) may be present. Maybe you’re reeling from a pregnancy loss and don’t understand why it’s hitting you so hard. Not only are you processing the loss of your fetus or infant, but you’re also grieving the loss of a future you thought you’d have as a parent of this child.
Grief can be all-consuming, non-linear, and isolating. Others may not understand what you’re going through, but processing this unimaginable experience with a caring professional can help. Together, we’ll tend to your pain, grieve your loss, develop realistic coping tools for the present, and integrate the experience into your motherhood narrative.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In navigating the intricate landscape of grief, my practice acknowledges the myriad forms it can take—spanning from the acute pain of recent loss to the complex sorrow stemming from childhood trauma, ancestral burdens, and unmetabolized emotions carried through generations. Grief is not a monolith; it can emerge from the loss of a loved one, the ending of significant relationships, shifts in personal identity or life stages, and even the mourning of missed opportunities or unfulfilled dreams. My approach is dedicated to guiding individuals through these diverse expressions of grief, recognizing each journey as deeply personal and inherently transformative.
Providing a safe, nurturing environment, I encourage clients to explore the full spectrum of their grief. This exploration is not limited to the losses traditionally recognized by society but extends to the more subtle, often overlooked forms of grief that can deeply influence our lives. Through a tailored blend of therapeutic techniques, I focus on actively engaging with and processing grief in all its forms, facilitating a meaningful exploration of its origins and impact.
This comprehensive process involves addressing the emotional pain, understanding its roots—whether in recent events, childhood experiences, inherited family traumas, or burdens that aren't ours to bear—and beginning the healing process. By doing so, clients are empowered to reconcile with their past, understand the breadth of their experiences, and move toward a future marked by renewal and self-discovery.
My goal is to assist each individual in navigating their unique path through grief with empathy, insight, and respect for the myriad ways it can manifest. In embracing the full complexity of grief, we honor its potential for pain and transformation, viewing it not just as an obstacle, but as a profound opportunity for growth, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed connection to the essence of our being.
