Being in the midst of loss or grief can feel like you are the only one going through something so difficult. Grief and loss can take shape in many forms and it's something that is not to be rushed through.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Sara Fraser, psychologist
Loss or Grief

Sara Fraser

Psychologist, PhD
Bereavement can be an especially lonely experience as people navigate loss in the context of a death-phobic culture. Community care and ritual are often missing for people as they cope with the ongoing nature of loss. Depending on the nature of the loss, trauma processing therapy might also be helpful in supporting the bereavement process over time.

Loss or Grief

Michael Nakhla

Psychiatrist, MD
Grief is a deeply personal process that doesn't follow a linear path, and I provide compassionate support as you navigate the complex emotions of loss. Whether you're mourning a death, relationship ending, or other significant loss, I'll help you honor your feelings while gradually rebuilding meaning and hope. My approach recognizes that healing doesn't mean forgetting—it means learning to carry your loss while still engaging fully with life.

New York City, New York therapist: Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT, marriage and family therapist
Loss or Grief

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Death. The most universal of life experiences. So why are we afraid to talk about it? We use euphemistic language in an effort to . . . what exactly? Does imagining her in “a better place” take the pain away? What do we say when children ask if they can visit this place, or when the deceased will return home? And then the casseroles and phone calls taper off. Always too soon. Then people stop asking, as though their questions will bring her to mind and cause you to suffer. Don’t they know you think of her every day? Grief doesn’t ever really go away; it changes over time. Just when you think you are coping better with the loss, the holidays arrive, or the one-year anniversary hits, and there you are, overwhelmed by difficult emotions once again. I would be honored to sit alongside you on this difficult, and often lonely, journey.

Loss or Grief

Len Ramsay

Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Every act of embracing something new involves the letting go of something old. Loss denied and grief disallowed are the roadblocks against vitaity. Safety and trust are the foundations that allow the acceptance of loss and the experience of grief and protect against the horrible distortions that can result from defense against the completion of experience.

New York City, New York therapist: Kate E. Stephenson, life coach
Loss or Grief

Kate E. Stephenson

Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
The waves of grief crash in unexpected ways at unexpected times with unexpected outcomes. Within my Holistic Life Coaching practice and through my own personal experience, I have cultivated tools, methods, and experiments that approach grief and loss through the lens of curiosity, expansiveness, and nonjudgment. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. Coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work; our work is therapeutic without being therapy. Without stagnating in your grief, together we can discover what your grief means to you, what it is bringing to your life, and how we can use it to manifest the life you desire. From where you are sitting right now that may sound like a difficult, if not impossible task. My mother always said "nothing beats failure but a try." I invite you to try coaching to discover what happens when you allow yourself to speak your truth and feel however and whatever you are feeling in a safe, nonjudgmental space dedicated to you and your growth.

Columbus, Ohio therapist: Jennifer Cain, psychologist
Loss or Grief

Jennifer Cain

Psychologist, Ph.D.
Loss and grief are very painful things that everyone experiences at some point in their life. If you are grieving a loss, you are certainly not alone, although your grief and your process is unique to you. There is no "right" way to grieve, and the right support can mean the difference between moving through the process in a healthy way versus getting stuck. The key is finding ways to carry with you the parts you want to keep, and integrate those things into yourself or your life, while coming to a place of acceptance about the person or thing you lost.

New York City, New York therapist: Dr. Lois Horowitz, licensed clinical social worker
Loss or Grief

Dr. Lois Horowitz

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
Grief is a natural and deeply personal response to loss—whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or another significant life change. While grief is something we all experience in our own way, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. Feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, and deep loneliness may come in waves and be hard to manage on your own. If you’re struggling to navigate the emotional weight of loss, you don’t have to go through it alone. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can begin to make sense of what you’re feeling. Together, we can explore your experience of grief at your own pace, without judgment. Through this process, you can begin to find relief, make space for healing, and eventually reconnect with a sense of meaning and peace. Grief is not something to “get over”—but with time and support, you can learn to carry it with greater ease. Please visit my website for more info about my services lhorowitz.com
