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.

Loss or Grief
Jonathan Kruger Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
While the loss of loved ones is a natural and normal part of life, loss that is unexpected, untimely, accidental, or drawn out, may lead to trauma for those left behind. The grief associated with such trauma can be debilitating and, perhaps even more challenging, isolating. Such grief can also have a cascading effect, leading to deeper depression, anxiety, fear, and maladaptive behaviors to address these overwhelming emotions. While grieving is natural and must run its course, I believe strongly that any loss can be helped through exploration of the corresponding emotions and behaviors with an objective and trusted therapist.
My approach to grief and loss is anchored in my own experience. Having lost most of my family over a very brief window of time, I know well the many emotions that accompany such unexpected and sudden loss. My treatment approach is a merger of my clinical skill set with a deeply empathetic ear, anchored in the coping mechanisms I personally deployed to help manage the many transitions through my own grief. In my work with my patients around loss and grief, I focus on navigating the negative emotions that can accompany loss (guilt, anger, hopelessness, overwhelming sadness) while, over time and when appropriate, jointly crafting with my patients a narrative that celebrates the life of those that have moved on, and facilitates the release of those emotions that can keep patients “stuck” in the trauma of unexpected loss.

Grief can be a heavy and overwhelming burden to bear, especially after losing a loved one. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to navigate the grieving process, in your own unique way, and come to terms with your loss. Together, we will honor the memory of your loved one and explore the complex emotions that come with grief. Using evidence-based approaches such as grief counseling and trauma-informed care, I will support you in finding ways to cope with your loss, and healing looks different for each one of us.
I understand that losing a loved one can change us permanently, and that healing takes time. My role as a therapist is to walk with you, to listen, and to guide you on this journey of self-discovery and understanding. My goal is to empower you to find a new sense of balance and inner peace as you navigate the grieving process in a way that works best for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards healing and finding meaning in your life again.
