Grieving cannot be done alone. All you can do by yourself is be sad and alone. This is not healing. Grieving is a process that has a beginning and an end and must include one other person who is understanding and compassionate. If you are tired of feeling like no one understands your loss on an emotional level, then you may wish to consider a visit with Thomas.

Grief come in waves of overwhelming sadness from the loss of someone you hold dear and those we longed to have a loving relationship. Grief is not something that just goes away. Together we will honor, acknowledge & discover the meaning that person had in your life, We will discover ways to feel & stay connected to him/her now and in the future . If you are feeling guilty or ashamed, we will work through that so you do not have to carry that burden for the remainder of your life. As we process your experiences, you will notice a lightness when an issue is resolved. A time will come when thoughts of that person come to mind & you are able to smile at the specialness they played in your life.

Grief is a normal response to loss, and all of us experience it. Sometimes it is harder, and we can feel stuck in our pain, unable to begin the healing process. If that is your experience, or if you simply need some support during your grieving, counseling can help a great deal. I use a variety of methods that can be helpful, ranging from supportive work to healing traumas that may have accompanied the loss you have experienced. Everyone's situation is different, so my approach is different for each person. Please call if you would like to explore whether therapy might help at this time.
Natalia Voinov, Ph.D.
When you lose a loved one, your job, your health, your house, your savings; it's always traumatic and life altering. Initially, you're in a state of shock, unable to think clearly or even feel anything. Denial might set in shortly afterward. As you move slowly through a myriade of consequences, as you have to cope with the loss' aftermath, you will need help to sort out a host of thoughts, feelings and confusion. You will need a guiding light to coach you through the rough times, through your tears and your hopes. That is when I can assist you, gently, competently and warmly, to navigate the waters of loss and come up with sensible solutions.
Cristina Mardirossian, MA., MFT
Each client will go through loss in a different way. In therapy, I work with my clients to first accept the reality of the loss. Secondly, I work with my clients to work through the pain of grief (such as talking about the person who died, journaling, healing rituals, drawing, etc). Third, I help my clients adjust to a new environment in which the deceased person is missing.

There aren't always words to describe the loss of someone. It leaves you asking, "Why?" But the answers don't always seem to appear. Therapy for grief & loss can help you deal with the unknown that you are left with when such a life changing event, such as a death, occurs. Having someone who understands, and can let you just be and experience your feelings can help you through this painfully difficult change that has left you uncertain and lost.

The right fit with your therapist can make all the difference. I will help you create that loving acceptance for your feelings, and for yourself, though this oh-so-necessary and important process.
William Josephs, Ph.D.
The loss of a loved one or friend is one of the most profoundly devastating events that can occur in one’s life. When one is unable fully to work -through the grieving process in the first month and months that follow, the grief often can spread and exert effects over multiple spheres of living. Grief-work in psychotherapy goes deeper into the dynamics of the process and moves the individual toward letting-go and back into life.

I have personal experience with grief and loss. Grief and Loss can come in many forms: loss of family members, partners, animals, friends (either through death, separation, or displacement). I incorporate several techniques to heal and grow from these negative, but extremely valuable experiences. I believe amazing potential for growth and value of the world can come from death and loss, although this may not abe apparent during the lowest moments. I enquire into what has worked for the client in their own life and their own instincts into the healing process.

Saying goodbye to someone your child loved, and who has loved them, is bittersweet. The thought of not seeing a beloved family member or friend again just plain hurts. It’s normal for them to feel bitter, even angry during this time.
I can help your teen grieve the death of a loved one, whether it be a person ... or even a pet. I support teens and young adults in making sense of their loss and healing their pain, so that they are able to move forward again in their lives.

Depression and anxiety are often a result of not having processed past difficult situations. We all experience loss, and we have a natural process involving our emotions which helps us recover. Most of us do not receive the permission or the teaching to help us use this natural process. Therapy can help work through "stuck" experiences so that we are freer to move forward in life with less restriction.

There are many types of losses – death of a loved one; moving to another city or another country; loss of a job or retirement; Separations from loved ones; health, just to name a few. Loss of any kind is often accompanied by a piercing pain. But not always. Each of us has our own way of responding to loss – our unique window of tolerance for distress.
For some, the overwhelm is expressed, for others it remains internalized. The healing occurs by sharing what you are feeling, and not carrying your loss on your own. Part of the healing involves holding on to that threat that connects you to your memory of how things were before your loss, and the creation of a new normal.

We believe a vital part of therapy is the idea of grief and loss. Your ability to accept things the way they are can be hugely affected by the way you have dealt with loss in your life. In order to create a new future, sometimes that requires mourning the loss of some aspect of yourself. If therapy is something you are considering, then chances are you have had many struggles in your life and something you resorted to for survival may not be the best coping skill of today. However, letting go of that coping skill can be a painful loss of yourself. For example, if you found validation in sexual experiences and clung to some aspect of relationships throughout your life, then letting go of
Cindy Kludt, M.A., LMFT
When you are experiencing emotional pain due to a loss, it feels very intense and like the pain will never go away. Many people tend to tense up against feeling this pain because it hurts too much, inadvertently causing it to hurt even more. I help guide you to gently let go of the resistance and allow the emotions to heal the grief, thus easing the pain. We often expect and/or want the grieving process to be over quickly. Often the loss triggers past losses as well, and this takes time and patience. I have found that there can be significant personal growth through the grieving process and if done with compassion, one can expect to choose life with a renewed purpose.
Rebecca Kahane, MA, LMFT
All of us have experienced some sort of grief and loss at some point in our lives. This is an expected hallmark of the human condition. For some, the impact of loss is overwhelming and recovery is slow. Others show resilience and are able to bounce back to a normal life again quickly. I will support you in creating a more resilient attitude, creating the strength to adapt to the changes you are experiencing. I will help you to create a sense of hope and trust in the world, the ability to tolerate pain and distressing emotions, develop self-reflection and insight, develop a sense of mastery over your destiny, create a good self image and learn to laugh again.

Everyone must deal with grief and loss at some point in their lives. When the loss is significant, the sadness can be overwhelming. Sometimes, the best therapy in such cases is simply to provide a safe place for the client to be heard and supported. Just being there for someone who is dealing with loss and the grief that accompanies it is often sufficient to help them manage the feelings and get back to living their own life in a productive and satisfying way.

Grief is a natural response to the loss of someone or something. Examples of loss include the death of a loved one, retirement, a child transitioning out of the house, financial loss or bankruptcy, loss of a physical attribute, a home foreclosure, or loss of a relationship. The more significant the loss, the more intense the grieving process can be. How you grieve depends on many factors including the nature of the loss, your coping mechanisms, your understanding of the grief and loss process, and your spiritual belief system. The important thing to remember is that healing from any loss can take time and the amount of time will vary from person to person.

"Am I going crazy?" is a question people often ask me when they come in for loss, grief or bereavement therapy. "Everything is normal in grief," I respond. Why? Because there is no "right" way to grieve. Grief reactions can be all over the map - and different every hour. One moment we feel numb. Then we might sob uncontrollably. Or we might question ourselves about why we never cry. Everything in our life can seem out of whack & we beat ourselves up when we have trouble functioning. Sometimes no one is able to handle the depth and strength of our feelings and reactions. That's when it can be very helpful to visit an experienced grief therapist like myself for support in healing

These feelings are authentic and are in your body, so you must feel them. If grief and loss felt and expressed at the time it is felt, it is healthy and appropriate. It is best, however, to try to live in the present and not dwell on the past or go in the future with feelings of hopelessness. Grief in children and adults are different and are treateddifferently.
Jeannette York, MFT, MA
When we lose someone we love, the emotional and physical pain is very real. Studies show that grief and loss for many people are represented by real pain often in the area of the heart. This is where the term a "broken heart" originates. In many other countries when a person loses a loved one, they take several weeks away from work to process and handle the intense emotions from their loss. In the U.S. we are generally "allowed" 3 working days to "get over it!". Pain from the loss of a loved one takes time to heal. If you are mourning and need to talk with someone who understands and can help, please call to make an appt. Jeannette York, 818.669. 8066 Burbank

Every human being experiences lost and grief during their life, through the death of a loved one or a relationship breakup . So often we wonder whether we're grieving "the right way." In our culture, many people/families are taught to not express their feelings, especially the painful ones. Utilizing psychotherapy to process grief provides a safe place to truly express the important feelings we have about our loss. Speaking about our feelings is a first step towards healing and acceptance.

At some point, everyone experiences the grief and loss of something or someone valuable in life. The key is knowing how to grieve one's loss. Most people don't know how to grieve and our culture does not allow for it. Entering therapy after a loss of a job, relationship, or a loved one can help heal the wounds and help the individual move on with life.

Death is a part of the life cycle and grief is the natural response to the loss. Grieving is a normal process that can include expressions of anger, feelings of loss, sadness and emptiness. There are sometimes feelings of guilt or temporary impact on self-esteem.

I feel deep compassion for those in grief. It's the perfect time to reach out to a professional whether your pain is from loss of a loved one, job or break-up My best advice about mourning that has worked for so many is: to make your mourning your own. There is no right way to grieve and no "right" amount of time. People really do heal from talking so one of the most important things I'll do is listen and reflect back what I am hearing to shift your guilt or pain to help you into a more accepting place. I'll offer you hope and concrete action steps to help you get life moving. We'll create ways to feel connected to your loved one, or find the door opening to a better job or relationship.
Carl H. Shubs, Ph.D.
Loss and grief are natural occurrences in life. However, they can be major intrusions in the quality of our life if we are too caught up in them. They can also interfere if we are so defended against them that they limit our ability to function or impair our daily interactions with others. Sometimes, what we have lost is not a person but a job or a situation in our life that has had great meaning for us, like our self-image. That can feel devastating. Just like losing a person, these events must be grieved if we are to be able to move on.
Grieving doesn’t mean forgetting or being weak. It’s a sign of love and strength. Together, we can work through the grief so you can move on.

Having experienced several losses as a child, I know the pain that people experience when they lose a sibling, a parent/grandparent, or friend. Grief can affect many areas of your life. Feeling sad, lonely, or lost is a common experience. I want to help you work through the grief process so that you can remember your loved one and continue living the life you want.
Deryl Goldenberg, Ph.D.
When i start working with someone, my first objective is to put them at ease, and build rapport. Once the client is feeling relaxed, then they will start to talk about the pain and sorrow that they want support in handling and understanding. I encourge the clients to express themselves, to allow their feelings to come out, and be fully felt, and heard. From sharing their innermost feelings and thoughts most clients begin to experience a sense of relief. The next phase is coming to make meaning of this very deep sense of grief or loss and develop perspective. Once the client begins to rest in knowing more about themselves and what they have come to realize, they can move on.

Death ends a life but not a relationship. Finding support for your sorrow and exploring the ways your loved one continues to be part of your life are equally important. Other kinds of losses -a break up, moving, losing or changing jobs - may trigger a period of limbo, disorientation or lack of direction. Together we can discover the intentions you hold going forward so that when new beginnings start to show up, you'll be ready.

Grief and loss goes beyond bereavement. It can result from divorce, job loss, relocation, or family estrangement. The pain can just real, because these losses can be seen as the "death" of your long-cherished hopes and dreams. One way to view loss is as an opportunity to honor what you lost and take the memories into a new phase of your life. What you've lost can teach you to appreciate what you can gain in the future.

Grief and loss can be overwhelming, confusing and debilitating. There are often overpowering feelings of sadness, fear, anxiety, guilt and anger as well as thoughts and stories that we tell ourselves and others tell us. Sometimes there are other people to support and many responsibilities beyond the work of grieving that seem to preclude the possibility of meeting our own needs for personal support. I work to provide a sense of clarity and self-connection in the journey of grief.

No matter if it is sudden or expected, losing a friend or loved one is a devastating experience. Often our friends and family don't know how to respond to our grief, so we can become isolated and feel trapped within our feelings. I can help you work through your grief by providing a safe and supportive environment to explore your full range of feelings that you have about your loss. I will assist you in figuring out coping mechanisms so that your natural grief does not become a deeper and more profound depression

Counseling those who experiencing significant loss means not putting a timeline on anyone's process of moving on. Rather, through my work leading Grief and Loss support groups at the Veterans Hospital, I've seen that each person's loss, grieving process, and combination of related emotions is special and unique in their difficulty. Our work together will help sit with, articulate, and effectively manage all aspects of coming to terms with significant transition or loss.

Losing a loved one is hard to deal with and talking to the right person can really make a difference. Putting those messy emotions into a wrapped up package is not the way it is meant to be. The Kubler- Ross Stages of Grief will enable you to process grief if you know what to expect. Those stages are: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. These stages are not ones that are necessarily done in order when dealing with the loss of your loved one. Knowing what to expect and having the right counselor to talk with will help by giving you the tools to frame and identify this loss. It is time to start learning to live life to the fullest again. Call for a free consultation today.

When a patient suffers a loss—whether from a death, divorce or falling out with a friend or relative — I lead them through a process, either individually or in a group, that helps them process the loss, accept it and let it go. The process includes drilling down into their psyche to find out what meanings they give to the loss. Often, they find that they believe they are being punished by God or that they have a cloud over their head that causes them to lose anyone they love. Then, I work with them to change that belief. I include a series of letters, memorials and written questions that helps them give up their depression and powerlessness caused by a loss.

The grief process is a normal, healthy reaction to loss, but Grief Therapy helps when you place your grief “on hold” in an intense state of mourning. You don’t want to face the pain, and you don’t want to deal with the reality of your loss. A Grief Therapist allows you to restart the natural healing process that is bereavement, by sharing your journey, listening to your stories, understanding your thoughts, and opening your heart. A Grief Therapist will teach you that the memory of a loved one is a positive, cherished jewel – a memory that will, in time, bring comfort, rather than sorrow, and joy, rather than pain.

Everyone experiences loss at some point in their lives. Grieving is a natural response to loss. Sometimes, though, a person's ability to grieve is thwarted by life stressors, resulting in feelings of guilt, confusion and depression. There is no right way to grieve, but it is important not to avoid it so you can begin your healing. If you have lost a significant other: a partner, parent, friend or pet, therapy is an safe place and an effective way to begin or continue your grieving process.

We all experience loss in our lives; grieving is normal and necessary. We grieve the loss of a relationship, a loved one, a pet, a marriage. Talking about and working through all aspects of the loss, including coming to terms with regrets and guilt is a part of the grieving process and necessary for healing and personal growth. I have been in practice for over four decades and have worked with hundreds of individuals as they deal with their anger, sadness, guilt, pain, loneliness, and despair. The good news is that we can recover and move on remembering the good along with grief of having to deal with an ending.

tremendous help at these times. It can hasten your progress toward acceptance of the loss and the new
world of possibility that awaits you. An experienced therapist of 28 years, I have guided many people through this journey and have seen the wonderful benefits of a safe, caring and encouraging relationship

Confronting the pain of loss may feel too intense, but counseling can bring relief. How? Talking about your sadness, regrets, guilt, anger, etc., will help you release thoughts and feelings… slowly accept how the loss impacts your life… give the lost loved one a new place in your heart... and eventually adjust to your changed life and often-new self. You can re-discover the joy of life without forgetting what you have lost.

As difficult a time like this is, it is helpful to find a safe place to process loss, its meaning and the impact it has on your life and the lives of those you care for and love. I believe children and adults process grief and loss differently, and that both need ways to express their grief, and choose their unique way to heal from it. I work with both children and adults, and tailor my approach to fit their unique needs and understanding of the loss.

I am very mindful of the pain that clients are experiencing when they have lost a loved one, or are experiencing grief over upcoming loss of a person or of a dream that they have had for their life. The loss of a relationship produces feelings of grief that can be difficult to manage and work through. I help patients focus on the feelings that surround "grief": anger, denial, depression, guilt that they may be burdened by, etc. I help them develop new coping skills so they can move toward acceptance of the loss at the same time as they rebuild hope for themselves in this new reality without the person or relationship they have lost. Together with the client we redefine a hopeful future.

Many times we think of grieving as something we just do during the loss of a loved one. Of course, that's is a major source of grief. However, we can grieve many types of losses; job, marriage, a place called home. And, there is unresolved grief that can be passed on from one generation to the next. No matter what the source is of unresolved grief, it can prevent one from experiencing timely and legitimate sorrow and loss. And, instead of experiencing the sorrow, different emotions take their place; like anger, shame, guilt, etc., or destructive behaviors. Experiencing your grief in a safe place, with a safe person, can liberate you to fully enjoy your life and relationships

My name is Dr. Taji Huang and I have dedicated the past 12 years of my career to the field of mental health in a very broad range of mental health settings. I have had the priviledge of working closely with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couples, family and group settings. One of the tools that I use is psychotherapy, which involves regular face-to-face meetings with the psychologist. Sessions typically last between 45-50 minutes, one or more times per week; depending on the case. In this confidential and safe setting, clients have the opportunity to explore personal issues with someone who has unique listening skills.
