Jim Stangarone
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified psychodramatist (CP)
Grief , loss and bereavement includes a wide range of complex feelings that can feel never ending and overwhelming. How one experiences these complex feelings is a very personal process, there is no, “right” way to work through this. Together you and I will explore these feelings and work through this in a way that is best for you.

Denise Trainer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.A., L.C.S.W., NCPsyA
Grief is not only a response to a recent loss, but can often bring up losses from the past which may not have been perceived as a loss. The experience of loss happens to all of us. Grieving and finding some meaning behind this normal life experience, approached with compassion and acceptance can bring peace to an individual.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Loss and grief are deeply personal emotional experiences that live in both the heart and the body. My work integrates psychoanalytic reflection and somatic awareness to support the process of mourning and integration. This work helps patients find meaning, continuity, and renewed connection to life after loss.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
*Free Consultation* One of the hardest truths to accept is that everything and everyone is impermanent. Loss is devastating, whether it's the loss of a loved one, a job, or a relationship, but it is an inevitable part of life and one with which we can learn to accept and experience without prolonging our suffering. I work to help clients differentiate between pain and suffering and gain the necessary insight and tools to honor and express their pain without allowing it to derail and control them. While supporting you during your process of healing and acceptance, we will work to help you manage feelings and reactions to a death or significant loss. I offer a 15 min free consultation, so please reach out to see if we're a good fit!

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.

Grief
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Grief does not follow a timeline — and it rarely looks the way people expect it to. Loss can arrive in many forms: the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a career change, a medical diagnosis, or the quiet grief of a life that did not unfold the way you imagined. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I provide evidence-based grief therapy for adults navigating bereavement, complicated grief, anticipatory grief, disenfranchised grief, and loss-related depression and anxiety. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed care, I help clients move through grief with compassion, clarity, and genuine support. Telehealth grief therapy available across 40+ states.

Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Grief doesn't follow a timeline or a neat set of stages. It's messy, nonlinear, and deeply personal. We work with people who are grieving the death of a loved one, but also those mourning the end of a relationship, a version of themselves, a dream, or a life they thought they'd have. Whatever you've lost, your grief deserves space and we're here to sit with you in it.

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.

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.

New York City has the largest and most diverse therapy community in the world, with practitioners representing virtually every therapeutic modality, cultural background, and specialty area. The city's pace, density, and cost of living generate pervasive anxiety and burnout, while its diverse boroughs mean therapists fluent in dozens of languages serve communities from every corner of the globe. Columbia University Irving Medical Center, NYU Langone Health, and Weill Cornell Medicine anchor an extensive academic mental health infrastructure, supplemented by thousands of independent practitioners across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. New York's therapy culture is deeply embedded — many residents maintain years-long therapeutic relationships and consider finding the right therapist one of the more important decisions they make.
