South Pasadena Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Justin Wong

Life can often be stressful and challenging. You’re here because you’re dissatisfied with something in your life and feel stuck. It could be persistent anxiety, excessive sadness, a difficult memory, or a relationship issue. Perhaps it has been hard to gather the motivation to make positive changes in your life. Having better control over your mood can often seem hopeless, but you CAN make things better.

Ericka Logan Moreno

My clients are the perfect combination of moody/sarcastic with a heavy dose of dry/dark humor. They struggle to show up as their authentic self because they're burdened with feeling lost, stuck, and unworthy of happiness. They compare themselves to others, experience negative thoughts, low motivation and suffer from anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma. Despite a guarded exterior, they yearn for someone to acknowledge their pain. Starting therapy has helped them process pain and thrive.

Molly Burrets

I work with couples and women - helping them to build healthier relationships and work on common painful issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, infidelity, trauma, transition to parenthood, perinatal concerns, infertility, sexual problems, difficulty communicating, past sexual abuse, and other stressors. Many of my clients are high achieving professionals in entertainment, art, law, finance, and sport that have challenges juggling work responsibilities with their roles in the home.

You've survived a lot in life, but struggle to feel like it's behind you. You are usually the one emotionally taking care of others, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed, & yet never feel good-enough. Have you been marginalized? Scared of having a 'target' on your back or afraid of being found out? That's lonely but as much as you love being around others, they drain you. If you are fed up of living for others, I am someone who wants to help you feel safe, be successful & most importantly, happy.

Whether you find yourself feeling depressed, anxious, troubled by trauma or stuck in repetitive patterns of relationship, psychotherapy is a place to explore your past in order to live more fully and more freely in your present. The therapy relationship can be a safe place to explore distressing symptoms, painful emotions and difficult stuck points in order to more fully understand yourself, clarify your values and find peace within yourself, your relationships and your world.

Kyla Winner-Connor

I have worked with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, psychosis, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and more. I am certified in several modalities including CBT and IPT and integrate these with many other approaches such as mindfulness, self-compassion and somatic work. I also pull from concepts such as attachment theory, interpersonal and affective neurobiology, and the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Dana Zaredini

I offer my clients opportunities to learn about self-care, mindfulness, meditation, and how to lessen the impacts of negative self-talk. I work with children, adults, and families. I help my clients learn to cope and heal from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, trauma, and histories of abuse (sexual/psychological/emotional/physical). I also enjoys working with adult children of alcoholics, grief and loss, and caregiver stress.

Brian Benjamin

The clients I work with are diverse. My work with children often includes engaging in play-based interventions as well as integrating the larger family unit into treatment. When engaging with older clients, I assist them by coming into contact with parts of themselves to ultimately identify and pursue their goals. My clients benefit from various therapeutic approaches to gain insight and awareness about their present selves from their past experiences and relationships.

Natalie Moore

I do my best work with creative millennials looking to overcome the challenges of living with anxiety. I take a holistic approach to psychotherapy blending Western psychology principles with Eastern philosophies of healing. Clients leave my office with more clarity, ease and emotional resilience.

I believe that you are the expert of your own life. I will collaborate with you, explore past experiences that have shaped who you are today, and figure out what's keeping you from living the life you want. Together, we can address these issues and help you get back on track.

Kim Bielak

I frequently work with clients experiencing high stress, high anxiety, and the effects of childhood trauma, and aim to create a space where you can finally slow down, relax your grip, and become aware of the unconscious processes currently running your life. I also work a great deal with couples to understand the very same unconscious processes running their relationships.

Andres Chou

When you feel stuck or overwhelmed, you don't want to settle for generic solutions. I provide therapy that addresses your unique struggles so that you can move toward greater confidence and deeper connection. Maybe you're suffering from an unbearable loss or a painful past experience. Perhaps you feel disconnected and lonely. Maybe you feel lost at work. This isn't how you imagined your life to be. I'm here to help guide you through.

Regina Hernandez

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, emotions like anxiety, depression, and anger can leave you feeling drained or lonely. You do not have to navigate those feelings by yourself. I work with clients from a non-judgmental, empathic, and compassionate approach. Providing a safe space where clients can feel supported. I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families.

John Sloan

They come from all walks of life. Many struggle with grief and loss--of a loved one, or of a cherished idea of how life was meant to be. Some feel at war with themselves; the survival strategies of the past--once so vital--no longer serve them, leading to depression, anxiety, and diminished relationships. They are in a bind: longing to connect but frightened, with good reason, of the vulnerability that makes connection possible. I help them move in the direction of growth and deeper connection.

Mona Kumar

Are you struggling with a life transition or pattern that continues to repeat itself? Perhaps you are functioning well in some areas of your life but feel stuck in others. You may be feeling sad or anxious and wish that someone could truly see you and understand what you're going through. Though the deep and connecting experience of therapy, we can work together to help you find relief, feel more empowered, and approach your life in new and fulfilling ways.

Ariel Rosenbloom

Navigating modern adulthood can be complicated and stressful. I specialize in helping womxn and adults in their 20s and 30s manage a variety of presenting issues including life transitions, trauma, relationships, identity, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and grief and loss. My approach is LGBTQIA+-affirmative, feminist, sex-positive, social justice-oriented, and culturally-inclusive. We'll work together to identify patterns, build upon strengths, and enrich your sense of self.

Jorgie Wu

You feel stuck, lonely, or burnt out. You find yourself feeling overwhelmed by life's demands and responsibilities. You imagine, what if you had options, an opportunity for relief, and permission to show up differently. People describe you as someone who's giving and thoughtful, so you're really good at putting the needs of others above your own. Therapy with me means you can be both a giving friend/partner/family member and a self-forgiving and self-compassionate person.

Chris Datiles

I would love to support you if you're feeling resentful, tired, and burnt out due to a sense of urgency to meet expectations of others in the midst of changes in your life. I specialize in grief and loss as it relates to death, oppression, and life transitions. I'm here to support you as you experience the shifts in your life and come to understand yourself with clarity and compassion.

Lauren Lui

My clients are emerging adults who are driven and self-aware. My clients struggle, often privately, with anxieties, self-doubt, and feelings of not being good enough. They have trouble saying no and sticking with the boundaries they've set for themselves. My clients give so much of themselves they find themselves burnt out and depressed. A few things clients say after a session with me are: I feel seen, I am clearer about what I want to do, and I know how to be more of who I am.
