Sonny Granade
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Experiencing a major loss and the grief that follows can make us feel unmoored and overwhelmed, stranded someplace between who we once were and who we are becoming. I work with my clients to gently and compassionately explore what lays inside these vulnerable periods of transition, including the potential for growth and evolution.

Matthew Kijak, LCSW

Grief can be a heavy and overwhelming burden to bear, especially after losing a loved one. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to navigate the grieving process, in your own unique way, and come to terms with your loss. Together, we will honor the memory of your loved one and explore the complex emotions that come with grief. Using evidence-based approaches such as grief counseling and trauma-informed care, I will support you in finding ways to cope with your loss, and healing looks different for each one of us.
I understand that losing a loved one can change us permanently, and that healing takes time. My role as a therapist is to walk with you, to listen, and to guide you on this journey of self-discovery and understanding. My goal is to empower you to find a new sense of balance and inner peace as you navigate the grieving process in a way that works best for you. Don't hesitate to reach out to me today, together we can work towards healing and finding meaning in your life again.

Ana Velouise, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
When the unexpected happens, it’s a shock to the system. When you experience an abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth, feelings of guilt, shame, rage (or even secret relief) may be present. Maybe you’re reeling from a pregnancy loss and don’t understand why it’s hitting you so hard. Not only are you processing the loss of your fetus or infant, but you’re also grieving the loss of a future you thought you’d have as a parent of this child.
Grief can be all-consuming, non-linear, and isolating. Others may not understand what you’re going through, but processing this unimaginable experience with a caring professional can help. Together, we’ll tend to your pain, grieve your loss, develop realistic coping tools for the present, and integrate the experience into your motherhood narrative.

Eric van der Voort
Psychologist, PsyD, CST, CSWT
Grief results from many types of loss. A loss can be the death of a loved one, a breakup, losing a job, or a change in financial security. We can also experience the loss of our identity, purpose, ability, or level of functioning. Everyday life events, such as moving, can involve adjusting to a new city, culture, or trying to make new friends. This can mean grieving the loss of a life we used to have.
In order to successfully grieve, we need create new meaning in our lives. However, certain things can get in the way of this process. These “stuck points” might include anger and resentment, guilt, seeing the lost person or thing as being “all good” or “all bad,” or having difficulty talking about the loss.

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.

Navigating Loss and Grief: Finding Light in the Shadows with Well Coached Life
Grief is a journey that often feels like a never-ending labyrinth, especially when we've experienced the heart-wrenching loss of a loved one. At Well Coached Life, we understand that the pain of loss can be an ongoing battle, and we're here to offer support and guidance to help you find your way through the darkness.
The Weight of Memories:
When we lose someone dear to us, the calendar transforms. Dates that once held anticipation and joy become painful reminders of our profound loss. Life's milestones and anniversaries, which were once celebrations, can become days we dread. On these occasions, the wound of loss, which we've painstakingly worked to heal, can re-open, thrusting us back into a whirlwind of memories and haunting "what ifs."
From Dull Ache to Searing Pain:
The dull ache of grief and sadness, which we've learned to carry with us, can suddenly transform into a searing, sharp pain. It's as if we're transported back to the very moment when we first received that devastating news. We find ourselves at the bottom of that cold, dark hole we've so painstakingly clawed our way out of, inch by inch.
Our Compassionate Support:
At Well Coached Life, we're here to remind you that healing is not a linear process. Grief has no set timeline, and it's okay to experience those moments of intense sorrow. Our experienced coaches provide a safe space for you to share your emotions, explore your memories, and find the strength to move forward.
A Personalized Journey:
We recognize that each person's grief journey is unique, and the pain of loss is deeply personal. Our coaching services are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the support and strategies that resonate with your experiences.
Rediscover Light in the Shadows:
Grief may change the way we experience life's milestones, but it doesn't have to define our future. With Well Coached Life, you can embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and finding meaning in the midst of loss. Join us today, and together, we'll help you find the light in the shadows of grief.

I have worked in hospice and with seniors in grief. Life can turn upside down when a loved one dies, like the rug has been pulled out from under you. If you feel overwhelmed and need someone to talk to I am here, let's talk.

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.
