Therapy for Trauma and Grief

Dr. Jenine Saekow

I provide online therapy for adults in CA, CO, NY.

Healing from trauma and grief is possible, when you have support that meets you where you are.

Trauma and grief can leave us feeling broken, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of a specific event or coping with ongoing emotional pain, therapy offers a safe space for healing.

We’ll work at your pace, exploring how your experiences have shaped your emotions and behaviors, and develop strategies to move toward healing and peace. Therapy can help you:

  • Restore a sense of control, safety, and stability in your life

  • Understand how past experiences are impacting you now

  • Rebuild trust in yourself and others after loss or betrayal

  • Reduce symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional numbness

  • Develop healthy coping tools to manage overwhelming emotions

  • Begin to reconnect with joy, meaning, and hope at your own pace

I’m here to support you in finding peace, meaning, and a path forward. Take the first step toward healing and book a free consultation today.

Kind Words from Past Patients

“Dr. Saekow is incredibly compassionate and understanding, and she is able to provide different perspectives to help me think through issues. She was always very encouraging, yet demonstrated great empathy in helping me reframe some of the very emotional issues I was working through.” 

-Tech Professional, 30s

“She gave me really specific techniques to immediately address the issues I was facing. She was extremely caring while still being honest so I felt so supported throughout the whole process. She really took the time to understand me but it felt like she knew me right away.” 

-Asian American female, 20s

“I was given the tools to help me from spiraling out of control. It made me wish I'd been more proactive in seeking out therapy earlier...because who knows how much more different/better my life could've been.” 

-Tech Professional, 30s

Therapy with me is a mix of these evidence based techniques:

  • Helps you identify and change unhelpful thoughts to improve how you feel and respond to challenges.

  • Focuses on building skills to manage intense emotions, improve communication with others, and tolerate distress.

  • Encourages you to accept difficult emotions in situations you cannot change while committing to actions that align with your values.

  • Teaches you to stay present, reduce reactivity, and respond to stress with greater calm and clarity.

  • Helps you process and reframe unhelpful beliefs about a traumatic situation to bring relief and clarity.

About Me

I truly love what I do. I have been providing therapy since 2011, though my work feels like a natural extension of who I am. I’ve known since I was young that I wanted to be a psychologist. I’ve always been the listener in my friend groups and felt emotions deeply. I feel grateful to sit with people during some of their most honest and vulnerable moments.

I’m a San Diegan native, and I’ve loved living in New York City, Palo Alto, and Charlotte. Outside of therapy, I love traveling with friends and family, baking something sweet, and I’m already planning next year’s Super Bowl party.
