Grief
Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and it's not limited to death. We help clients process the loss of loved ones, relationships, health, careers, identities, and the futures they'd imagined. Our approach honors that grief is deeply personal—there's no right way to do it. We'll help you make space for what you've lost while finding ways to carry it forward without being consumed by it.

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.

Bold Expressions Therapy

Whether you’re experiencing a career change, a new relationship, a romantic break-up, a pregnancy, a miscarriage, an abortion, the death of a loved one, or an unexpected medical diagnosis, major life changes can be painful and challenging to navigate. No matter what the transition is, my goal is to meet each patient where they are. We can encounter moments of excitement and devastation with healing and growth, even when change was not what we anticipated.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Grief
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Grief can follow the loss of a person, relationship, role, or hoped-for future, and it often shows up in ways that are unpredictable or hard to name. Many women find themselves trying to keep functioning while carrying waves of sadness, numbness, or disorientation. In our work together, we focus on creating space to process what has changed, integrating the loss into your ongoing life, and helping you reconnect with a sense of steadiness and meaning at your own pace.

Grief
Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Bereavement is the natural process you go through to mourn and accept a major loss. Grief is a natural emotional response to loss, and grief counseling can help people cope with it. I work with clients by explalining the stages of grief and strategies to recovery. Emotinal support and encouragement are also provided, and an opportunity to talk about their feelings of loss and share memories of their loved one.

Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
Many life situations involve experiencing loss, not solely related to death. With any life transition or growth, there is a new chapter to face, which involves closing a previous chapter.

Grief
Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Grief is a profoundly non-linear experience that can reshape your entire reality. Utilizing evidence-based bereavement frameworks and trauma-informed care, I help individuals navigate the complex emotional landscape of loss—including the death of a loved one, secondary losses, and ambiguous grief. Our work focuses on honors-based processing, managing the physiological impact of acute sorrow, and safely integrated strategies to help you carry your grief while gradually rebuilding a meaningful life.

Grief
Cindy Haines, Psy.D
Psychologist, Psy.D
At our practice, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals navigate the challenges of loss and grief. Grief can bring overwhelming emotions, including sadness, guilt, and anxiety, which can sometimes lead to unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Through CBT, we work with clients to process their loss, reframe negative thinking, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Our approach is compassionate and structured, helping individuals move through grief at their own pace while building resilience. We focus on identifying and addressing distressing thoughts, fostering self-compassion, and finding ways to honor and adjust to life after loss. Whether grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or a significant life change, we provide the support and tools needed to heal and move forward.

Grief
Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
A loss of someone you love can change everything and prompt us to delve into the most existential internal searches. First and foremost, we need a safe space to process what happened, why it happened, and what now gives life meaning---especially if our feelings seem to shift from one minute to the next. This therapy gives you a place to get organized by talking about the ineffable, thereby moving toward accommodation, acceptance, and even moments of peace. I am a Certified Grief Therapist (David Kessler, Grief.com) and Master (Robert Neimeyer, PhD).

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
