Loss or Grief
Dr Rachel Spero-Hoy
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I offer treatment plans with various evidence-based treatments OR a choice for a more unstructured evidence-informed approach. I primarily utilize treatments that fall under the umbrella of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
CBT focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can improve emotion regulation and personal coping strategies that can help solve current or future mental health problems. CBT is a goal-oriented therapy and is widely used as the gold standard treatment to treat various mental health conditions, including: depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, chronic pain, and insomnia.
Trauma-informed interventions can include CBT, supportive therapy, or IPT.
When grief and loss is related specifically to reproductive mental health (RMH), IPT for RMH would be an ideal fit.
Interpersonal Therapy for Reproductive Mental Health (IPT for RMH) -
IPT focuses on improving interpersonal relationships to improve mental health. Core elements of IPT include: helping individuals navigate the significant changes in roles and responsibilities associated with parenthood, addressing relationship issues with your support network that contributes to emotional distress, assisting individuals in coping with grief and loss, and helping individuals develop and maintain supportive social connections.
IPT for Reproductive Mental Health specifically addresses the unique interpersonal challenges that arise during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum periods. IPT is well-suited to treat postpartum depression or anxiety, improving emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.

Anahita Kalianivala
Psychologist, PhD
Grief doesn't follow a timeline — and it doesn't just come after a death. It can show up in response to illness, identity shifts, lost dreams, or changes that no one else seems to understand. I offer online therapy that honors the layered, nonlinear nature of grief and creates space for both the ache and the possibility of meaning. You don’t have to “move on” — we’ll start by moving with.

Loss or Grief
Ashley Miller Nolan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
“Each person's grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed. That doesn't mean needing someone to try to lessen it or reframe it for them. The need is for someone to be fully present to the magnitude of their loss without trying to point out the silver lining.” ― David Kessler, Finding Meaning: The Sixth Stage of Grief
I align with this quote. Grief and loss come in many forms and ultimately in death. My heart for grief work is being present and holding space to let you experience the full measure of your grief while staying anchored in the here and now. You will drown and then realize you are the ocean.
