During a time of grief and loss, we often feel lost in our grief, confused asking a lot of 'why's' and a sense that thing will never get better. We can feel trapped by our pain; that it will never let up. Working with me, we honor both the fragile you, dealing with your losses, but also speak to the core strength that may be hidden by overwhelming feelings. While I can't take away the pain, I can help you navigate the tricky terrain of having your painful feelings, and also living your life, moving through. We will discuss strategies - the ones that haven't work, and ones that can. You will regain your sense of hope and reconnection to yourself and people/things most important to you.
Karen Nemrow, MA, MFT
Grief and loss are part of life. The loss of cherished relationships, people and pets that have shared our lives is always difficult. Counseling can help, I am a Hospice trained bereavement counselor. Before going into private practice I studied with Hospice and did grief counseling exclusively for many years. It is deep and important work. Sometimes this work is painful, bringing tears and so much sadness. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and with some work...finally acceptance. Life may never be as it was, but it can be good in a new way. Telling your story, working it through, touching your own feelings and learning to live. Sad and beautiful work. I can help.
Ruth Schweitzer-Mordecai, LMFT
At times of loss, what is often most needed is someone to be fully present with you in your grief. To give you the opportunity to fully express your pain, your memories about who or what you have lost, to be a companion to your tender heart.
I understand the numerous expressions of grief, such as tears, anger, depression, despair and simple sadness. I have been with many clients during these times in their lives. I have also learned how to be present to my own personal experiences of loss and can help you move through your own journey.
Kelly Wilcoxson, , MA, MFT Intern #66475
There is nothing more shattering than loss and grief. Whether its a family member, pet or friend, support is necessary. Grief and loss can also show up in dreams and goals. Our healthy attachments serve us, and can feel painful when they are no longer here in the form they once were. I can help in finding out how to ask for that, allowing yourself to receive it and integrate it to begin to heal.
Philippe Nicolay, MS, MFT
Losing a loved one, whether through unexpected or anticipated circumstances, is always traumatic and can be one of the most stressful events in a person’s life. Although grieving is a natural human reaction to a loss it can be overwhelming. In therapy I provide a safe place were we can process those feelings together and explore which meaning the loss you experienced will receive in your life.

Sooner or later, we must all deal with loss. Sometimes it comes in small doses and sometimes it is overwhelming. Often, it is a silent and private struggle. In the midst of the struggle, we often fail to see that with every loss comes the potential for change, growth, new insights, understanding, refinement and a deeper relationship with ourselves, others and the Lord. Walking through loss contradicts everything most of us have learned. It is by embracing our pain that we find new life, new beginnings and true healing. My clients learn to be authentic to themselves in how they are feeling and not afraid to give into the process.
Mey Saephan, MS
"Why can't I seem to shake this grief & loss like other people can?" you ask yourself. Chances are you have other unresolved losses that are being triggered. When you come to me, I will do an assessment, identify the unresolved losses and use Lifespan Integration or EMDR to help you get relief. On average my clients see me 10-12 sessions and are able to function again.
Mark Hirschfield
I have extensive experience and success working with grief and loss. When a a major loss occurs in our life, many of the unresolved previous losses we have experienced can become activated, which can lead to overwhelming feelings. I am adept at emphatically guiding and supplying the client with tools to work through the stages of grief so as to arrive at a place of acceptance and a feelings of positivity.
Don Waxman, MA, LMFT
No matter how hard we may try, grief and loss cannot be avoided. They are integral and necessary parts of our life experience. Whether it is a small disappointment or the loss of our closest loved one, grief impacts us physically and psychologically in ways that demand our attention and compassion. I have a unique approach to grief counseling that includes the use of specific mind/body therapies, talk therapy, and special techniques I have learned working as a caregiver and bereavement voluneteer with Hospice. Grief and loss are portals to the whole range of our emotional and affective experience, offering us tremendous opportunities for significant transformation.

The good news is that there is effective therapy for grief, loss, and bereavement in Oakland. Therapy begins with having a safe place to be able to talk about how you really feel, with someone who can accept your pain without judgement or fear and with whom you can be yourself. EMDR and somatic interventions are excellent for those times when grief, loss, and bereavement involve complicated grief, anxiety, depression, and trauma. CBT offers research based help for depression and irrational thoughts about grief, loss, and bereavement. I offer these therapies to people who are grieving in Oakland. Call 415-820-1487 for a free phone consultation.

Losing someone that we love is the deepest pain that we can experience. Grief is a deeply personal process, and it helps to have someone help and guide your through it, as we can lose our way. Together, with love as the ground, we will create space just for you to mourn in your own way and in your own time, so that you can experience all of your feelings and memories and find what is meaningful in it for you.
Kathryn Kinsey, LCSW

Robert Hardman, MA, MDIV
If your grief feels like too much to bear call me, I'm acquainted with grief and have experience in grief counseling. I know that grieving is a personal and individual experience -- there is no right or wrong way to grieve. How you grieve depends on many things, including your personality, your life experience, your faith, and the nature of the loss. I'm aware that the grieving process takes time and cannot be forced or rushed -- there is no “normal” timetable for grieving. Some people start to feel better in weeks or months. For others, the grieving process is measured in years. My goal is offering compassionate help in normalizing your grieving process.
Lawrence Tunis, Ed.D, LMFT
The topic of Grief & Loss covers a broad spectrum from loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job...even change. It helps to work with a caring and empathetic counselor who has the life experience to really "get" where you are coming from, to help you move to the other side of things so you dispell those acute feelings of loss and sadness. In addition to my 10 years of private practice experience in this area, I spent several years as a volunteer with the Centre for Living with Dying in Santa Clara, working with people suffering from feelings associated with horrible loss. With gender identity issues, another specialty of mine, there is also often a sense of grief & loss to overcome.

The key to grief and loss is mourning and the conditions which allow the individual to mourn at a deep level. My program of group therapy creates a space which allows this intimate experience of grief.
The expression of grief is an existential moment in our lives. Those who sit and witness the experience are privileged as well as benefitted by the moment.
C. Girvani Leerer, Ph.D.
Endings are a natural part of the cycle of life, yet these endings can leave us with feelings of grief, loss, powerlessness, anger, emotional confusion, hurt, and pain. These feelings can be complicated by unresolved issues in the relationship with someone we have lost.
I help people with Grief and Loss find ways to accept, express and release all their feelings about the death of family members and loved ones, as well as the ending of relationships, stages of life, or dreams. By expressing and integrating these feelings, I assist you to find a sense of peace and release to allow you to move forward in your life.
Cressida Forester, Psy.D.
Sometimes you feel as if nobody could know what your grief is like, or that nobody could help you with your loss. Sometimes nothing could ever replace what you've lost, yet you have to find a way to go on with your life. You may wish to just be alone, yet also wish someone could just be with you through this time, letting you be silent, letting you talk, whatever you need, giving you all the time that you need.
You have to find your own way through grief and loss, in your own time. But you don't have to be alone as you do that. I will sit with you, bringing my warmth, experience, and understanding to help you find your way through to life and the future you can't yet imagine.
Gene Grossman, Ph.D, CA MFT 6276
If I can generalize, we Americans are not a culture given to feeling our grief and loss. Our "get over it and move on" attitude prevents us from facing the depth of sorrow that accompanies loss. Too often, the fail to grieve results in depression as we fight our sadness. We lack compassion for ourselves and label it as weakness. Effective therapy can help us to take ownership of all our feelings, even those we judge to be "weak". Understanding our right to be sad is an important component of healing and growth. Without expressions of sorrow and loss we may appear to be robotic or remote or even shallow.
I help my clients to experience the fullness of their feelings and worth.
Harry Lieberman, MFT
Loss and grief are most often characterized by feelings of deep sadness. Most of us have coped with some form of loss. Everyone's experience of grief is unique. In some cases, instead of grief resolving over time, it becomes chronic and persistent. This "complicated grief" can make it difficult to resume one's life and move on. Together we can change this pain.
Esther Lerman, M.A., M.F.T.
Although grief and loss are universal human experiences, there are many factors which can make it difficult to process. I offer a safe space to explore all that you are going through and feeling. Expressing all your complex feelings is healthy and can be so relieving. Repressed grief can make you physically or emotionally ill. Many losses are complicated with feelings of anger, guilt or the pain and confusion of unfinished business. Sometimes, when the loss is unexpected, shock can get in the way. Personal issues around ability or willingness to feel or show vulnerability can make it hard to grieve. I have many years of experience in offering safety and support to grieving clients.

Unadressed grief and loss issues can result in anxiety, depression, inability to think, concentrate and physical distress. It's not difficult to have uncleared grief and loss because our culture provides very little role models of how to effectively clear these difficulty from our minds, personalities, and bodies. Utilizing EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy tools, in addition to other approaches delivered with compassion, heart, and wisdom gently allows and aids you in releasing all that grief and loss reflects in your life. Clients report feeling clearer, lighter, more creative and able to more easily function in life, increased physical energy and capacity to experience joy & pleasure.
Jody Roberts, MFT
There is no right or wrong way to grieve for someone. Grieving is essential and can be dealt with in various ways to meet your needs to go on in life. I honor and work your personal way of grieving in matters of time and the need to fully experience the grief. The therapy will be custom tailored to meet your needs and with you create a process of healing. I offer you the time and space that you need to heal by listening to your story of loss, sadness, and sense of emptiness. We explore feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, futility, anger, and helplessness. We’ll talk about things left unsaid such as thank you, forgiveness, or good-bye. And, I will help you to grieve your un-grieved losses....
Jonathan Goodman-Herrick, LCSW
Myself having lost a son, I know from experience how to help people work through the stages of grief and loss. It is never easy, and I always approach the person seeking help with tremendous gentleness and compassion. And since everyone has a different response to loss I find that the best counseling is collaborative, finding a way together through what sometimes seems insurmountable. I also make myself available by phone on a daily basis as support, especially in the early phase of grief can make a tremendous difference. Depending on the client's comfort level, I offer a wider, spiritual perspective and non-sectarian spiritual practices as well.

Grief and loss are of course inevitable, and yet it can be experienced with less suffering in the presence of a compassionate, understanding therapist. At times, grief becomes complicated by a traumatic loss, and then it is important to allow oneself to work through the trauma so that the grieving process can, over time, move toward completion. We don't forget who or what we have lost, but we can heal and continue to engage in life with new meaning and vitality. In almost 20 years of practice, I have worked with wonderful people who have not only survived, but were able to thrive following their particular losses.
