Rashida DInehart, LMSW

I’m a therapist, social worker, and grief educator who believes that grief is more than just death. It encompasses all losses, even those you may have felt didn’t deserve space. My work is grounded in a deeply person-centered approach that integrates ACT and IFS-informed perspectives with grief- and trauma-informed care. My sessions are rooted in warmth, validation, curiosity, and a small slice of humor.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe enough to exhale and spill your tea. A space where your grief, anxiety, anger, confusion, and contradictions are not only allowed—but welcomed. No judgment. My role is not to fix you. It’s to sit beside you as we gently untangle what hurts, make meaning of your story, and help you move toward a life that feels a little less heavy.

My connection to this work is both personal and professional. I lost my mom when I was 15, and later lost a childhood best friend. Those experiences changed the course of my life in ways I couldn't have imagined at the time. While I never would have chosen them, they taught me that grief isn't something we simply "get over." It's messy, complicated, heartbreaking, and sometimes wildly unfair. It can also be a powerful teacher. Today, those experiences inform the empathy, honesty, and understanding I bring to my work with clients.

In addition to providing therapy, I'm the founder of Griefology, a grief education platform built on one simple belief: grief deserves better. Better conversations. Better support. Better understanding. Whether you're navigating a loss, a life transition, anxiety, ADHD, relationship challenges, motherhood, or the lasting impact of difficult experiences, my goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone as you find your way forward.
