Grief
Hannah Muetzelfeld
Psychologist, PhD
I believe that grief and loss manifests from many experiences. It might be the loss of a loved one, an important relationship ending, a new life transition, or mourning the loss of an imagined future. I've found that allowing ourselves to sit with the grief can help us process it. Allowing your grief to be witnessed can be powerful and healing. Grief often shows up in unexpected ways, and there is no “right” way to move through it. I work to honor each person's unique grieving process, holding space with compassion, patience, and care.

Compassionate Counseling

Grief is directly associated with loss. Not surprisingly, the more attached you were to the something or someone you've lost, the greater the feelings of loss you will experience. Whether your grief is due to the loss of someone you loved or it's due to some intangible loss - it's a loss. Learning to adapt in loss and change is difficult and necessary. Especially since we will all, inevitably encounter loss and grief as we move through live. We can support you as you move with grief and into your new "normal".

Pam Hill with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Navigating loss can feel like wandering through a landscape that no longer makes sense. In our work together, we won’t aim to "get over" the pain, but rather to find a way to carry it that feels less heavy over time. I provide a compassionate space to honor your unique timeline, helping you process the complexity of your emotions while slowly integrating the loss into your life’s narrative.

Misty Nomberto with Beacon Therapy of Utah
Pre-Licensed Professional, CSW
I have worked in hospice and have received training on navigating loss and grief. My time as a memory care director has given me opportunities to better understand the unique grief of a loved one living with dementia. Grief is a heavy, non-linear journey that requires a safe space to be felt without judgment or a deadline. I walk alongside you helping you process the pain of loss while finding ways to integrate your memories into a life that eventually feels hopeful again.

Grief
Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Grief can feel like an overwhelming, chaotic storm, leaving you feeling disconnected from yourself and others. As a therapist trained in both Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I offer a compassionate, secure space to help you navigate this painful journey, not by "fixing" your grief, but by honoring it.
Using IFS, we will gently get to know the different "parts" of you responding to the loss—perhaps a part that feels immense sadness, another that is angry, or a protector part trying to numb the pain to keep you safe. We will work to help these parts feel seen and supported, allowing them to release their burdens at a pace that feels safe for you.
Integrating EFT, I will help you process these intense emotions, transforming feelings of stuckness or isolation into a sense of connection—both with yourself and in your relationships. Together, we will create a secure, compassionate container where you can process your loss, cultivate self-compassion, and integrate this new reality into your life, honoring your loved one while finding a way to move forward.
You don't have to carry this burden alone. Let’s explore your grief together, at your own pace.

Grief
Jordan Dye - Prepared Acceptance
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, EMT
In high-stakes professions like the military, healthcare, and emergency services, loss or grief is often an occupational hazard that you are expected to "shake off" and keep moving. However, carrying the weight of the things you’ve seen and the people you couldn’t save can lead to a profound sense of moral injury or emotional depletion. Having worked in the Emergency Department and the National Guard, I understand that your grief often doesn't have the luxury of time or a quiet space to be felt. My approach is to provide a grounded, direct environment where you can process these losses without judgment or the need to "stay strong." We work together to integrate these experiences into your story, helping you find a path forward that honors what was lost while reclaiming your capacity for hope and purpose.

Alina Hovsoyan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I support clients experiencing grief by providing a compassionate, safe space where they can express their emotions without judgment. I help them understand the normal grieving process and the range of feelings that may arise, including sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion. I assist clients in identifying coping strategies and rituals that honor their loss, while also encouraging self-care and connection with supportive people. I guide them in processing complex emotions, exploring meaning, and adjusting to life changes resulting from the loss. Throughout the process, I provide validation, empathy, and practical tools to help clients navigate grief at their own pace, fostering resilience and gradual healing.

Salt Lake City is the world headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and this religious and cultural reality profoundly shapes the city's therapy landscape — with therapists who can work thoughtfully within LDS family frameworks, navigate faith transitions, and understand the particular psychological pressures of a community where cultural and religious expectations are deeply intertwined serving an essential role. The city's growing tech industry — part of the 'Silicon Slopes' corridor — creates additional demand for therapists experienced with startup culture, high-performance careers, and the particular identity challenges of building secular professional lives in a deeply religious community. University of Utah Health and Intermountain Medical Center provide major institutional mental health resources alongside a well-developed private therapy community. Salt Lake City's significant LGBTQ+ population — navigating identity in a predominantly LDS cultural context — creates consistent demand for affirming therapists who understand the intersection of queer identity and religious community.
