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.

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.

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.

It is very difficult when you lose a loved one. I can help you work thru this. Whether it was a sudden death, a truamatic loss or simple someone who was close to you that passed away. It also could have been a pet since we do get close to are furry friends and losing them can be hard as well. I can help you by talking about your loved one that passed away and give you some coping skills to help you get thru it. A loved one is never forgotten but we must continue living our lives until we see them again.

Experiencing loss is part of the human experience and may be one of the most painful events in one's life. Developing a safe and supportive environment is critical to the grieving and healing process.

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
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.
Lucy Cotter, LMFT
In compassionate surroundings, explore how you can heal in the grief process and honor those you love as an ongoing part of your story.

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.
Heather Browne, PsyD, MA, LMFT
How we grieve depends deeply upon our own personal experiences and pain. I work to assist each individual to grasp the depth and poignancy of this ended relationship and give them the tools that they need to live without this person/creature. Once this is completed, I help them to embrace the qualities that they can make part of their own legacy.

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 also trained in working with anyone who is struggling with Post-Abortion Trauma.

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.

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.
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.

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
Trish Phillips, M.A., MFT
During times of loss it is important to ask for help and realize that you are suffering from a deep grieving process that a time table cannot be set too. I have been treating clients who have lost loved ones through both natural means and also violent crimes for over 15 years. Each person is unique and each process is different. It is important to me that I get to know my clients needs and help them with gentle coaching and compassionate understanding.

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.

Grief & loss is often felt with the death of a loved one. It can also be experienced from the loss of a relationship, your health, your job, or your home. The grieving process can be complicated. You may love someone who suffers from a significant memory loss due to Alzheimer’s, stroke or a traumatic brain injury. You may feel guilty for grieving the loss of the person you knew before the illness because you feel you should be grateful he/she is still alive. As a person loses their memory, an important part of who they are gets lost. It is appropriate for this grieving process to begin before death. I would love to support you through whatever loss you are currently experiencing.
Chris Nikolaidis, PhD

Losing a baby is the hardest challenge that any parent can face. There are no words to describe the grief and pain that follow. It is a loss that cannot be measured. Parents can feel utterly alone, wondering if they can survive as relatives and friends are encouraging them to move on. Anger can mount in trying to understand why. Grief and loss takes time to heal. I work with fathers who have lost a baby, had a still birth, termination, or lost a baby in neonatal care. Take the time to reach out for help. This is a difficult journey that takes time and is slow. The death of a baby is hard for many to understand. I encourage you to care for yourself and reach out for help.

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.

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.

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.

Once rapport is established between the client and I, he/she is encouraged to tell me about their experience of loss, focusing on feelings that emerge as they are telling the story. When someone is blocked I suggest the emotions that may be present and nudge the client to feel those in the moment. The wide range of ambivalent emotions are normalized, leaving the client with a feeling of freedom and relief. My receipt of the client's feelings coupled with in-depth empathy and understanding helps the client to accept their own feelings without judgment.. Joy is returned to the client who has grieved, let go, and finally accepted the loss. Other relationships take on more depth and vitality!

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.

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.
Christine Brown, MA, MFT
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance. Go through the stages and you'll be fine. Don't you wish it was this easy? Losing someone you love affects every part of you. You're sad and scared and anxious. Maybe you're pulling away from people, wishing they would just leave you alone. Or you're feeling guilty for that last angry word you said, or the words that you wish you had said. God's getting his share of your anger with many "Why did you let this happen?" You don't need to go through this grief and pain alone. Figuring out who you are now is a hard job and it takes time. I would be honored to walk alongside you in this journey you wish you didn't have to take.

Loss in all its forms in an integral facet of life. Most of us have formed deep bonds with spouses, family, and friends, and grieving is both a testimony to the deep importance of those others to us, and part of a difficult, gradual process of letting go. Therapy work includes the honoring of either ended or failed relationships--deaths of many types--and also the grieving of we go through due to illness and aging.. A good therapist-patient relationship deals with numerous such painful "necessary losses", as well with successes in life.

Loss and grief are an inevitable part of life. The loss of a loved one, friend, job or life-stye may result in painful experience. Talking through the feelings of shock, disbelief, sadness, anger, and guilt can be a
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
during times like these.
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.

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.

Grief and loss is a functional part of being human. While we all accept this reality we are all too often unprepared for the emotional impact of the event. The loss of anyone close to us is always difficult. Sometimes we are impacted by the loss of others whom we do not even know. The loss of a child, spouse or significant other is often the most painful. In therapy we will explore the level of grief and loss and help to minimize the pain while understanding and realizing our own needs. counseling will provide coping teaching tools, allowing us to move on with our lives.
Martin Hsia, Psy.D.
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.

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.

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.
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.

I have worked with victims of trauma and abuse for over 15 years. I have been trained on many different methods to helping a client through their trauma so that they can begin living without PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) symptoms. Many people come to therapy because of the nightmares, trouble sleeping, having flashbacks, and having intimacy issues because they cannot let their guard down. For 10 years I worked using strictly a “person centered” approach to therapy. That means that I would let the survivor tell their story in their own way and not really guide them much. My main job was to make sure they felt safe and figured out ways to be safe. This process took a very long time, but it ....

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.
Taji Huang, Ph.D.
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.
Kim Czemeres, M.A., LMFT
At some point we have, or will have, experienced loss. It can be the physical, and/or, emotional loss of a loved one or even the loss of a relationship. Either way, we all process, and manifest, grief and loss in a way that is unique to each of us. Therefore, I feel it is important to be able to meet each person, where they are, and provide support and guidance during such a difficult time. Allowing the individual to time to address, and face, the loss also allows the individual to prepare for, and rely, on their resiliency during the grief process.

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.
Hallie Scott, M.A, MFT
I have a unique approach to helping those suffering from a loss. After surviving the loss of my daughter through stillbirth I have come to have a unique understanding of the grief process. I get the desire to give up hope. I understand not wanting to get back into life. I also know that with God, and my understanding, you can find hope again. The hope is not lost ~

Grieving is a personal issue that takes time and each person has a unique situation that requires understanding and compassion from your therapist. You will benefit from learning the stages of grief and how to start putting the loss in a healthy place in your heart. We will work together to understand the possible gifts gained from your loss. Loss of someone we love through death, separation or divorce, as well as other grief is not easy. Sometimes we wear out our friends with our grief. The death or loss of a loved one can be a paralyzing time in one's life. If you or a loved one is experiencing loss, we will focus on this experience in a healthy manner.

Honoring the feelings of grief following the loss of a loved one, friend, or aquaintance is a necessary task. When feelings are not felt, when grief is not honored with the time that it deserves, problems can manifest in the form of anxiety, depression etc. It is those exact problems that can be avoided or treated through supportive grief and loss therapy.

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.

We all suffer loss in our lives. That's just a reality of existence. Grief, unresolved, can greatly interfere with our ability to live our lives and be all that we can be. I help people to find resolution to all of life's losses and disappointments by listening and guiding them to identify how their life is being affected. I help them find a new perspective through the use of healing methods such as imagery, EMDR and a variety of other therapeutic interventions. Life can be good and meaningful, no matter what or who has been taken away. You can make sense of it all and move on.

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.

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.
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.
Harriet Kaiser, M.A., M.F.T.
We can work with the loss of work, family, friends, health, home, culture, single status, marriage or partnership. Loss happens to us all but affects each one of us differently. Let's meet & talk about what happened in your life. Therapy can hold the memory and experience in your life as you create new awareness of what it meant to you and come to terms with your thoughts and feelings.

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.

Grief is a natural process that sometimes takes guidance when we get lost in the grief process. Everyone's grief is unique and can be complicated when the last few months or years of the relationship were not healthy and were strained relationships. How can you repair them when the other person is gone? Compassionate and guided approaches can encourage the healing process. No one need stay in the state of perpetual loss and not fine release and peace and the courage to let go and find new meaning for their life. It is possible to make peace with the passed.

"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
