Loss or Grief
Jessica Biles
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
We all experience loss at one point in our lives, but that doesn’t make it easier. Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or something else meaningful to you, loss can leave us feeling alone, depressed, confused, and empty. I have extensive experience working with children and adults who have experienced loss and complicated grief. I provide a safe, gentle, and non judgemental environment and use a mix of trauma focused cognitive behavioral and insight oriented interventions. Through our work together you will begin to process and understand your grief experience, learn coping skills to get you through the day, honor what you have lost, and to ultimately heal.

Loss or Grief
Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
Grief and loss are almost impossible to write about. You've lost someone or something. Perhaps a loved one, a relationship, a status in your chosen field, a lifestyle you once enjoyed. Most of the time the grief I see in patients who come to my office have lost someone who used to play a large part of their life. A family member. a close friend, someone you thought you'd spend the rest of your life with.
There's no timeline for grief. There are no set "stages" to have to pass through and check off the list. It takes as long as it takes to get through it. I once worked with someone who lost a dear friend to suicide. It was unthinkable, and the pain seemed too much to bear. After a certain point she felt she "should be over it." In fact some people even said that to her. No. You don't "just get over it." You grieve. There's a hole in your life that seems unfillable, and sometimes it is. But that doesn't mean you have to forget about it, or don't get to move on with the other parts of your life.
If it was a relationship, and the issue was someone bailed on you, ghosted you, cheated on you, wants to divorce you, that, too, needs a period of time to grieve the loss. In some cases reconciliation is possible, others not. Together we work on what's realistic, how to accept your loss, and to understand you are allowed to grieve as long as you need to.
