Loss or Grief
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.

Loss or Grief
Dr. Sven Schild
Psychologist, PhD, SEP, TCC
My approach to working with loss and grief involves integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic Experiencing (SE). ACT helps clients accept their feelings of loss and commit to actions that honor their values, fostering resilience and adaptability in the face of grief. EMDR is utilized to process and resolve traumatic memories associated with the loss, allowing clients to work through their pain and find closure. SE addresses the physiological manifestations of grief, helping clients release stored tension and restore a sense of equilibrium. This holistic approach supports clients in navigating the complex emotions of loss and grief, promoting healing and overall well-being.
