The Joy of You
Hypnotherapist, CCHt, NWP, EP, B.Msc
While the grieving process is unique to each individual, there are some common emotions and experiences that people often go through. It's normal to feel a wide range of emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, and even numbness. Remember that these feelings are all part of the healing process, and it's important to allow yourself to fully experience and process them.
It's also important to take care of yourself during this time. Make sure to prioritize self-care and give yourself permission to grieve in whatever way feels right for you. Surround yourself with loved ones who can provide support and understanding. Consider seeking professional help, such as counseling or therapy, if you feel it would be beneficial.
Remember that healing takes time, and there is no set timeline for grieving. It's okay to take things at your own pace and honor your feelings and memories of your loss.

Paul Losoff
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief is a deeply personal journey, and there's no right or wrong way to experience it. I offer a compassionate space where you can process your loss, honor your emotions, and find ways to cope with the pain. You don't have to navigate this alone.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I believe that the most important thing to bear in mind when it comes to grief is that everyone grieves in their own way at their own pace. I have often helped clients work through self-judgement around things like being angry at a loved one who died or being relieved that they have passed. The Kübler-Ross stages of grief do include anger, but oftentimes, this is the hardest emotion to accept. Sometimes people also hear about the stages of grief and expect to experience one at a time when the reality is that these stages can run concurrently and in different orders. A major component of the grief work I do is helping people get to the point where they can honor and/or find takeaways from their loved one's legacy.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief has no rulebook. It doesn’t follow a straight line or a set timeline, and it can come in waves—some small, some that knock you off your feet. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, a part of your identity, or a future you had envisioned, the weight of loss can feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re struggling with sadness, guilt, or even numbness. Perhaps you feel pressure to “move on” when, deep down, you’re still trying to make sense of what life looks like without what you’ve lost.
Grief is not about getting over it—it’s about learning how to carry it in a way that allows you to keep moving forward. Together, we will create space for your emotions without judgment, honor what you’ve lost, and help you find a way to integrate this experience into your life. You don’t have to go through this alone. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding a way to hold both the pain of loss and the possibility of hope.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In my work as a psychologist, I support individuals through the complex and deeply personal journey of loss and grief with empathy and care. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients process their emotions and challenge any unhelpful thought patterns that may arise during their grieving process. I also incorporate techniques from narrative therapy to help individuals make sense of their loss and integrate it into their life story. My approach is warm and supportive, providing a safe space for clients to express their feelings and memories. By working collaboratively with each person, I assist them in finding meaning, adjusting to life changes, and eventually discovering a sense of hope and healing. My goal is to help clients navigate their grief in a way that honors their experiences while supporting their path towards emotional recovery, personal growth and resilience.
