Loss or 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.

Loss or Grief
Kate Koslowsky
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief can take many forms, including the loss of loved ones, changes in identity, or the ending of an important chapter of life. In working with grief, I offer space to tell the story of what has been lost, to make room for the emotions that come with it, and to stay connected to the meaning of the relationship or experience. I am influenced by depth-oriented approaches to grief that view mourning as a natural and necessary process, one that unfolds over time and often benefits from being witnessed and shared rather than rushed or solved.

Loss or Grief
Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing loss and grief across the lifespan. With professional experience in hospice and a dissertation focused on grief and loss, I bring both clinical expertise and deep compassion to this work. I take a companioning approach to grief, recognizing that healing often involves retelling your story many times as you move through it. Loss changes us permanently, and grief is the process of discovering who we are becoming. Together, we create space to honor your experience, process complex emotions, and find meaning and resilience moving forward.

Loss or Grief
Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Grief can be deeply personal and often shows up in waves that feel unpredictable and overwhelming. I support clients as they navigate the emotional, physical, and relational impact of loss, whether it is the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other significant life changes. In our work together, I provide a compassionate space to process emotions without judgment, make meaning of your experience, and move at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to help you feel supported as you carry your grief, while also gently reconnecting with moments of grounding, healing, and hope over time.
