MEET JESSICA MALMBERG, LMFT
With you as you sit with all the broken pieces of your heart.
I’M HERE FOR YOU
I help people whose hearts have been shattered by loss. Who need to know they are not alone, there is still life ahead of them, and that they will find a way through this.
You may be walking through an impossible loss, a miscarriage, a stillbirth, infant loss, child loss, IVF. I am so sorry you are here, and for this endless ache.
Like the ancient story of Inanna, you are being pulled into descent: with grief that needs to be witnessed, wounds that need tending, and a heart that needs space to fall apart, and keep beating, all at once.
Friends and family may not understand your need to move slowly, to rest, to remember. It’s easy to feel ashamed or wrong for being so sad, so changed. But this is not weakness—it is the reality of grief. It is an essential and necessary process.
And while this inner work unfolds, life outside doesn’t pause. Returning to work, holding conversations, trying to “function” while carrying such a weight can feel unbearable. The constant movement between outward focus and the private ache of your loss is exhausting and confusing—especially when there isn’t enough support in the workplace.
Wherever you are on this journey, you are a brave soul. You don’t have to rush or hide what you carry. Together, we can make space for your grief, work through the trauma, honor your love, and help you walk this path with gentleness and strength, one step at a time.
My Style
I hold space in the dark, attune to your grief path, and offer insight and relief, holding the lantern for the next step.
In our work, we create a trusted place to go into the depths of your life, your losses, your wounds, your joys, and allow the ground to re-form.
I witness your story, from the first hope to the last breath, and hold the arc of this life with you, together.
We create holdfasts that help anchor you and provide containers for the journey of your grief and trauma, which holds love and praise and beauty as well as the ache and sorrow.
Weaving in effective trauma therapy, I offer relief from panic, nightmares and inner dread, helping you move to a new place in your body and nervous system, with more safety and new options for perceiving yourself and the world.
As a child loss survivor and a cancer survivor, I know the terrain of loss and trauma, and it is an honor to walk your journey with you.
