The loss or grief from something unexpected can create huge waves of anxiety, stress and even depression. Learn how you can overcome and find peace within the distress and worry.

Loss or Grief
Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
There is really no way to fully prepare for death; less so when loss is sudden and unexpected. Many people feel a range of emotions - and those emotions may change over time or even moment by moment: shock, confusion, anger, denial, relief, emptiness, deep sadness, loneliness, isolation, fatigue, just to name a few. Sometimes loss is missing someone dear to us, and sometimes loss is more complicated. There is no correct way to grieve. But we can look at the ways in which our own minds can increase our suffering so that we can learn to be with grief and loss in a way that allows fully honoring our experiences, as well as taking steps forward in your life in a way that is in line with your chosen values. I offer a safe place where is OK to feel your feelings, however messy or confusing. I also will be on your journey to help you find rituals for honoring your loss that are special to you and your unique relationship with who you have lost.

Loss or Grief
Julie Novak
Psychologist, PsyD
Without love, there would be no grief. Grief brings so many different emotions, causing feelings of being overwhelmed, despair, loneliness and hopelessness. Together we will find meaning in your loss and how you can cope with the pain without carrying the suffering.

Loss or Grief
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
The death of a loved one is hardly ever simple - it stirs strong, complicated, and upsetting feelings within us. This is particularly true when we lose someone close to us - a partner, parent, child - or someone with whom we had a complicated relationship. I believe the key to successful grieving is allowing ourselves to feel, identify, and make sense of all our feelings around the loss, especially feelings we’re reluctant to accept.
Having worked previously as a palliative care psychologist within a hospital setting, I have accompanied many families and caregivers before, during, and after their loved one’s death. I am familiar with helping others navigate the often uncomfortable psychic terrain of grief. I work well with those looking to explore their grief and find relief through expressing their feelings and making meaning of their loved one’s death.
