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.
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.

Self Portrait
It doesn't interest me if there is one God
Or many gods.
I want to know if you belong -- or feel abandoned;
If you know despair
Or can see it in others.
I want to know
If you are prepared to live in the world
With its harsh need to change you;
If you can look back with firm eyes
Saying "this is where I stand."
I want to know if you know how to melt
Into that fierce heat of living
Falling toward the center of your longing.
I want to know if you are willing
To live day by day
With the consequence of love
And the bitter unwanted passion
Of your sure defeat.
I have been told
In that fierce embrace
Even the gods
Speak of God.

Grieving and coming to terms with loss is essential to overcome the pain and move on. Unresolved grief can be toxic. Disbelief, numbness, mood swings, irritability, anger, hopelessness, sadness, and guilt can all be part of this process. Empathy, safety, patience, and deep understanding from an experienced therapist can help you return to stability, peace and calm.

When you are experiencing loss and grief, it can be an invaluable benefit to have a person who can listen to you in ways that friends and relatives may not be able to listen.
During times of profound grief and loss, you may be experiencing life situations in a different light, and you may have feelings that seem endless or even strange feelings that make you wonder if you are normal.
Although you are probably feeling a lot of pain, a lot of personal growth can also happen when we are griveing. I hope that you will take the opportunity to get to know and understand yourself better as you heal, and I would be honored to work with you during this time.
Jane Steinberg, MFT
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.

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.

You may have suffered the loss of a loved one or a career/job. You may feel depression and discouragement. You may find that your thoughts lead to poor concentration, crying spells, and confusion about the future. You may only be able to speak superficially about the grief and loss you are experiencing. I can help you to begin a health grieving process by verbalizing the feelings associated with the loss. We'll examine what is blocking the expression of normal grief feelings. We'll look at your perceptions of your thoughts about your role in the loss. Were you really the cause of this situation? We'll brainstorm new activities, interest, commitments, loves and passions.
Claudia Sinay-Mosias, MFT, MHA
Loss is an inevitable part of life. To be able to grieve a loss allows us to love more deeply, learn from the experience and move forward with vitality and appreciation. In some cases, the ability to grieve gives us the wisdom to not repeat mistakes that perhaps lead to the loss. To grieve is to be present with "what is" and through it we are strengthened and enlivened. Sadness and grief are never the enemy; dissociation and denial are. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you to move through your experience of loss whether it be of a loved one, a job, a friend or an illness/disability that renders us "different" than we once were.
Dr. Kevin Fleming, Ph.D.
Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success. Contact Grey Matters International, Inc now at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.
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.
