Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and it doesn't come with a deadline. I offer a steady, honest space to feel what you feel about your loss, for as long as that takes. For those interested I bring in spiritual practices to support the processing and weight of grief.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief touches every part of life—emotional, physical, and spiritual. Whether your loss is recent or long ago, therapy offers space to honor your pain and begin to heal at your own pace. Together, we’ll work through the waves of sadness, anger, or guilt that may arise, helping you find comfort and connection as you adapt to life after loss. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means learning to carry love and memory forward with compassion.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in loss and grief, my treatment approach is grounded in empathy, validation, and support. Through compassionate listening and validation of emotions, I create a safe space for individuals to express their feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, and confusion associated with their loss. Utilizing techniques from grief therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I help clients navigate the grieving process, identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop coping strategies to manage their emotions. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation about the stages of grief and normalize the range of emotions experienced during mourning. Collaboration with clients may also involve exploring rituals or activities that honor the memory of the deceased and facilitate healing. My goal is to accompany individuals on their journey through grief, fostering resilience, meaning-making, and eventual adaptation to life without their loved one.

Umbrella Therapy - Andrew Baker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief is not a problem to be solved or a task to be checked off a list; it is a profound expression of love and transition. When you lose someone or something vital, the goal isn't to "get over it," but to find a way to carry it that doesn't feel like it’s crushing you.
Moving Through or Growing Around?
While many find comfort in the Stages of Grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—it’s important to remember that grief is rarely linear. It doesn't always "shrink" over time. Instead, many find that the "Growing Around Grief" model feels more honest. The pain may stay the same size, but your life, your resilience, and your experiences grow larger around it, making the burden feel more integrated and manageable.
Holding the Full Picture
Grief is often complicated by the reality of the person we lost. We will hold space for the full spectrum of your history, including:
The Good: Honoring the joy, the love, and the beautiful legacies left behind.
The Negative: Acknowledging the complications, the regrets, or the difficult dynamics that existed.
You don't have to "saint" the person you lost to grieve them deeply. Healing comes from finding the meaning of the relationship as it actually was, not just as a polished memory.
