Loss or Grief
Clara Kuntz
Psychologist, PhD
Grief after the loss of a beloved pet is often unacknowledged or minimized, even though the bond with an animal can be deep and life changing. Pets are cherished family members, companions, and sources of daily comfort, and their passing can trigger profound sadness, guilt, anger, or loneliness. Many people also struggle with changes in routine, loss of companionship, or second-guessing past care or end-of-life decisions.
Pet bereavement is a normal and valid form of grief, and healing often involves acknowledging the bond, allowing yourself to mourn, seeking support from understanding people or groups, and honoring your pet’s memory in meaningful ways.
I provide compassionate online counseling for adults to help navigate the emotional impact of pet loss. Together, we focus on processing grief, finding support, and creating ways to honor and remember your cherished companion.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Michelle Woogen
Psychologist, PsyD
Loss can be one of the most painful experiences. It can change our lives entirely and impact our ability to interact with the world around us. However, it is important to remember that there is no correct way to grieve, and it can be extremely helpful to have a supportive, well-trained therapist by your side, helping you to navigate this painful process.

Loss or Grief
Francis A. Bax
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LMHC, LPC, CASAC-Master
There are times that we lose family, friends or pets due to death or separation. There are also times that we can't reach our goals in our lives and careers that are as much of a loss as death or dying. We explore those triggers to grief and come up with the means to accept losses.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
Loss or grief can feel like being lost in a landscape you no longer recognize, where old routines and comforts no longer fit. I support clients moving through loss or grief by offering a compassionate, body-centered approach that honors both the ache and the love beneath it. Together, we create space for all that surfaces—tears, numbness, anger, memories—and help you find your own rhythms of healing. Through somatic therapy, ritual, and deep listening, I guide you in honoring your losses and gently rebuilding trust in life after heartbreak.

Loss or Grief
Kaitlin McMahon, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Grief is a deeply personal experience that doesn't follow a clear timeline or set of rules. Whether you're navigating the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a significant life change, the impact can feel overwhelming and complex. Therapy offers a space to process that loss at your own pace, while helping you find ways to carry it with more support, understanding, and compassion.
