Simran Bhatia
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You've experienced a loss. Maybe it was the death of a loved one, or maybe it was another type of loss. I specialize in helping people grieve while also finding meaning as they move forward. I spent 2 years working at a hospice agency training in working with grief and loss.

Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
For many years, I worked in animal rescue and animal welfare in the Bay Area. I volunteer with Muttville Senior Dog Rescue in San Francisco, California, and rescue senior dogs. As someone who has loved and lost two senior dogs over the past several years, I understand the pain that comes with losing a companion animal. If your loved one passed over the rainbow bridge, you are not alone. This space will honor your grief and support you in your journey.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Experiencing loss is one of the most difficult experiences a person can face. Loss can come in many forms from the loss of a dream or ideal to the loss of a relationship to the loss of a loved one. I help resource clients as they heal from their loss by keeping them connected to self and community. There are many great resources that can help us move through grief. Tapping into self-compassion, leaning on loved ones, connecting with nature or spirituality. I offer guidance during these tough moments to help transform the grief into an opening to orient towards peace and what matters most to us.

Grief/loss can seem too much to bear in moments- the support of a trusted other can facilitate the healing process where it may get stuck. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Death. The most universal of life experiences. So why are we afraid to talk about it? We use euphemistic language in an effort to . . . what exactly? Does imagining her in “a better place” take the pain away? What do we say when children ask if they can visit this place, or when the deceased will return home? And then the casseroles and phone calls taper off. Always too soon. Then people stop asking, as though their questions will bring her to mind and cause you to suffer. Don’t they know you think of her every day?
Grief doesn’t ever really go away; it changes over time. Just when you think you are coping better with the loss, the holidays arrive, or the one-year anniversary hits, and there you are, overwhelmed by difficult emotions once again. I would be honored to sit alongside you on this difficult, and often lonely, journey.

Loss or Grief
Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Loss is a deep, intense portal and we do not show up on the other side the same as we once were. Grief can change and reshape us, and this isn't a bad thing. It is part of our own internal death-rebirth cycle and if we lean into it, we can both honor our beloved and ourselves. I would be honored to hold space for you and support with relationship endings, work transitions, loss of a pet or family member, whatever you need. Grief work requires us to BE with the pain, let ourselves feel, let ourselves remember, as we slowly begin to rebuild a life without our beloved. With as much compassion for ourselves as possible.

Patty Murray
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
"Grief is love with no place to go" -- that is the framework that guides my work with grief and loss. I work to make space for the love that no longer knows where to go.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Grief and loss may be one of the most universal experiences, yet it can be extremely isolating experiencing grief in a society that does not know how to talk about these issues. My experience includes grief training and working with individuals and groups specifically with bereavement, death, and grief.
