Grief Therapists in California

Grant is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps individuals, couples, adolescents, and families navigate life's challenges with greater self-awareness, connection, and resilience. He believes therapy is a collaborative process where clients can safely explore their emotions, relationships, and life experiences while developing a deeper understanding of themselves and what matters most to them. Drawing from approaches such as AEDP, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Family Systems, and EMDR, Grant tailors treatment to each client's unique needs and goals. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, or questions of identity and purpose, he provides a compassionate and holistic space for healing, growth, and meaningful change.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a strong background in emergency nursing, military service, and mental health care. My clinical experience has shaped the way I practice: calm under pressure, direct when needed, and deeply committed to helping people feel steady again. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, life stress, burnout, mood concerns, sleep issues, and medication management needs. Before becoming a psychiatric provider, I served in the U.S. Navy. I later worked as an emergency department nurse, where I learned the importance of listening well, acting decisively, and treating the whole person, and not just a diagnosis. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in real life. I help patients understand their symptoms, explore treatment options, and build a plan that supports both stability and long-term growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia and California. I am also the Founder and CEO of Calibrated Wellness LLC— a practice that aspires to create hope, highlights resiliency, and guides healing that leads to calibration. With over 15 years of mental health experience I have served in various environments to include but not limited to an intensive In-Patient Program, Hospital Emergency Unit, Military Focused Programs and Private Practices. I often work with people working through Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Grief & Loss, OCD, Dysfunctional Relationships, Dual Diagnosis and other Serious Mental Illnesses. As a culturally responsive, trauma-informed psychotherapist, my priority is to partner with people who may need assistance in their process to reconnect with their inner wisdom, stabilize, restore emotional balance, and move forward with clarity and confidence!

I’m Megan — I work with women and mothers who are juggling a million things, feeling stuck, or just trying to survive life’s transitions — from reproductive and perinatal challenges to the reckoning of midlife. I blend EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, attachment-based therapy, and somatic techniques to help you untangle old patterns, calm your nervous system, and feel stronger.

Therapy for queer, trans, gender-expansive, disabled, neurodivergent, grieving, and caregiving folks and their loved ones.

Hi there, I am so glad you're here. I understand how daunting it can be to take steps towards healing. Perhaps you feel misunderstood by the people around you. Or perhaps you are accustomed to confronting problems on your own, without the help of others. Whatever you might be facing, I want to assure you that you are not alone. I am honored to walk alongside you as you step outside of your comfort zone to embark on your journey to growth and self-discovery. I offer warm and collaborative therapy to individuals and couples who are seeking to work through past traumas, difficult emotions, communication, and challenges with identity. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I strive to create a space where you are able to be your authentic self and explore the nooks and crannies of your internal world. If you are seeking a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your inner world, I will be there to hold and support every part of you as we put the pieces together. As your therapist, I can help you re-discover and make peace with the parts of yourself that were overlooked and perhaps pushed away due to past traumas or challenges with self-identity. In working together, you can begin to redefine yourself in ways that feel empowering, authentic, and aligned. Whatever it may be, you are not alone in your journey.

You feel alone in your pain. Maybe even shame. The quiet assumption that you are broken — and that others aren't. You are not broken. And you are not alone in feeling this way. I have been practicing somatic psychotherapy for 20 years — work that moves beyond talking into the wisdom the body holds. As you land in the body, something shifts. The feelings that once felt overwhelming become bearable. The anger starts to feel like courage. You begin to recognize you are more capable than the old story insists. This is not about managing your life better. It is about living it more fully as yourself. I have particular experience with South Asian, Middle Eastern, and other communities of color navigating the intersection of cultural identity, ancestral trauma, and the longing for something more. I also have a working knowledge of Hindi. My work is grounded in training in depth psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and over 15 years of immersion in Diamond Logos teachings. Virtual somatic psychotherapy available throughout California. Psychospiritual Integration mentorship available worldwide. A limited number of reduced-fee spaces are available — please reach out.
