Grief
Paulina Birgiolaite
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW, CMNCS
Grief is deeply personal and doesn’t follow a set timeline. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a pet, a relationship, or a version of your life, the pain can feel overwhelming and isolating. Therapy offers a supportive space to process your grief, honor your experience, and begin to carry it in a way that feels more manageable.

Grief
New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Working through loss and grief requires a compassionate and sensitive approach that acknowledges the unique journey of each individual through the grieving process. Drawing from a blend of therapeutic modalities such as grief counseling, narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques, I aim to create a safe space where clients can explore and express their emotions freely. By providing validation, support, and practical coping strategies, I assist clients in navigating the complex emotions and adjustments that accompany loss. Through this specialized expertise, I help clients honor their loved ones, find meaning in their experiences, and ultimately rebuild a sense of hope and resilience in the face of profound loss.

Grief
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael views divorce as a profound life transition that requires more than just legal navigation; it demands the emotional processing of "stuck" grief and the rebuilding of a new, independent identity.
Divorce is rarely just the end of a legal contract; it is a complex psychological uncoupling that reshapes your identity, family dynamics, and sense of the future. With 35 years of clinical experience, Michael helps individuals and parents navigate the turbulent emotional landscape of separation, focusing on the "unspoken" grief and the shifts in self-perception that occur during this transition. By exploring the relational patterns that defined the marriage, he provides a space to process the loss without becoming defined by it. Whether you are navigating the initial crisis or working to establish a healthy co-parenting dynamic, the goal is to move through the pain toward a restored sense of agency and a new chapter built on self-awareness.

Grief
Dr. Pam Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D., LCP
There is no one right way to grieve a loss. We often associate grief with losing a loved one but it can occur with other significant life changes such as the end of a relationship, loss of a pet, job loss, changes in your family dynamic, or other significant life changes. I have worked with many clients experiencing grief and they often share with me that they feel alone and misunderstood by others. As human beings, we often struggle to know how to respond to someone who is grieving. As a result, people who are grieving may feel isolated or try to put on a brave face so that they do not feel like a burden to others. In therapy, you can come exactly as you are and you don't have to put on a brave face. In our work together, you will have the space to process your thoughts and feelings associated with your grief. An important goal is to help you find ways to honor the loss while still allowing room for new experiences and meaningful connections in your life.
