Grief
Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
"There's bounty, yes; but there's loss and sorrow too: like a garden, like a life." This quote from a published collection of letters between two nature-loving poets echoes a life perspective I revisit regularly. In our work together, I'll hold space so you can acknowledge, honor, and process experiences of grief and loss. Because when we open up to the inevitable pain of our human lives, we're also saying yes to the possibility of joy and connection.

Grief
Ben Mosebach

I provide support for individuals coping with the emotional pain that follows the death of a loved one or other significant losses. I offer a safe space to process feelings such as sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion while learning healthy ways to adapt and heal over time. Through compassionate guidance, therapy can help people find meaning, rebuild stability, and gradually move forward while honoring their loss.

Grief
Linda Schartman, MA LPC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
Loss or grief is one of the most painful experiences we can experience, and culture in the US can be disconnected from picking up the pieces and making sense of how and why we have to experience this pain.

Grief
Marcy Irene Jenks
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, RN, NCC, LPC, LMHC
Loss is an inevitable experience during our lives as humans. Experiencing grief and sorrow can feel overwhelming or seemingly too much to bear. With a background in hospital nursing, I have a unique perspective as a counselor about how humans experience loss and grief, and about how compassion fatigue can be managed during stressful times.

Grief
Mensch Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Life keeps moving, and so do you. Inside feels heavy though. You notice more brain fog, irritability, or this voice saying , “I should be over this,” and a quiet dread of anniversaries and reminders. Maybe you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a pet, the parent you didn’t get, or the future you planned. You’re the one who handles logistics for everyone else, yet grief shows up as exhaustion, numbness, or sudden waves you hide at work. I offer a steady, judgment-free place to carry it differently. We’ll name the secondary losses (identity, routines, community), create rituals and language for hard moments, and use gentle nervous-system skills so your body doesn’t collapse or clamp down. Parts-informed work helps with guilt and “what-ifs,” while practical steps (sleep, structure, boundaries) make daily life manageable. The goal isn’t “moving on”, it’s moving forward with meaning, permission to feel, and room to breathe.

Sonya M Jones
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Life can seem to go on all around us while we feel stuck or submerged in our grief and loss. Walking alongside someone as they process this heartbreak and the changes that grief and loss brings is an honor and a privilege for me. Together we will work through your loss and grief processing all of the components of your experience to help you move through this journey to a renewed sense of living, purpose and hope.

Grief
Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Grief is not something you simply “get over.” Loss can change the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. Whether you’re grieving the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, a significant life change, or another meaningful loss, you may experience sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness, confusion, or emotions that seem to change from day to day.
Outpatient therapy provides a compassionate, judgment-free space to process your loss at your own pace. Therapy can help you navigate difficult emotions, adjust to life after loss, reconnect with yourself and others, and find healthy ways to carry your memories and experiences forward. You don’t have to grieve alone, and there is no single “right” way to heal.

Portland has a strong therapy culture deeply intertwined with its progressive values, with high demand for therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ identity, non-traditional relationship structures, trauma, and social-justice-informed approaches to mental health. The city's visible homelessness crisis and political tensions have contributed to significant community-level anxiety, and therapists here frequently address activist burnout, moral injury, and eco-anxiety alongside more traditional presenting concerns. Oregon Health & Science University provides major institutional mental health resources, complemented by a dense network of independent practitioners across the inner eastside, Hawthorne, and Northwest Portland. Oregon's relatively permissive telehealth laws make it particularly easy to access care from across the state.
