Grief & Loss Therapy
Grief doesn't follow stages or timelines, and it doesn't stay in its lane. It shows up in your body, your sleep, your ability to concentrate, your relationships, your sense of who you are. Grief therapy helps you learn to carry the loss differently, at whatever pace you need.
Grief Takes Many Forms
When people think of grief, they usually think of bereavement, the death of someone loved. That’s a big part of what we see. But grief shows up anywhere something important is lost.
Death and bereavementLoss of a partner, parent, child, friend, or pet, including sudden, traumatic, or suicide loss
Divorce and relationship lossThe end of a significant relationship or marriage, grieving not just the person but the future you imagined together
Pregnancy loss and infertilityMiscarriage, stillbirth, termination, and the grief of paths not taken, losses that often get minimized and deserve to be taken seriously
Illness and diagnosisGrieving the life and body you had before, and the future that may have changed
Ambiguous lossLoss without a clear ending: estrangement, a parent with dementia, an adult child you've lost connection with
Identity and life transition lossRetirement, career change, an empty nest, and losing who you were when that chapter closed
Grief often needs to be spoken aloud, sometimes the same things over and over, until they settle into a different weight.
Our Approach to Grief
We don’t rush grief toward resolution, because it usually needs to be witnessed more than fixed. There’s room in our sessions for the whole messy experience of it: the anger, the numbness, the unexpected waves, and the strange ways grief threads through daily life.
We also understand that grief can become complicated, whether loss carries traumatic elements, the relationship was complex, several losses overlap, or grief reactivates old wounds. We have experience with all of it.
Common Questions
There's no set timeline. Some people find meaningful relief in 10–15 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term support, particularly when grief is complex, traumatic, or layered with other history. We'll go at the pace that's right for you.
Not necessarily. Grief therapy addresses the full impact of loss, including how it's showing up in your body, your sense of identity, your relationships, and your ability to function. Each session starts with whatever is weighing on you most that week.
Absolutely. Unprocessed grief doesn't have an expiration date. Many people come to therapy for loss they've been carrying for years without ever having had the space to work through it.
Grief brings up a lot of 'should.' You should be over it, you should feel worse, you should feel better, you should be crying more or less. Therapy is exactly the place to set those 'shoulds' down and work with what's actually there.
You Don't Have to Carry This Alone
Grief can be isolating in ways that are hard to explain to people who haven't experienced the same loss. A free consultation is a quiet place to start.
