Grief Therapy
There is no single “right” way to grieve. Some people experience intense sadness or longing, while others feel numb, angry, anxious, or disconnected. Grief may come in waves or show up unexpectedly long after a loss has occurred.
​
In grief therapy, the unique way your grief is showing up is honored, while helping you make sense of what you’re experiencing.
​
Grief therapy is not about forgetting or “letting go”—it’s about learning how to carry loss in a way that allows you to keep living. Therapy offers space to speak openly about your experience, integrate your grief into your life, and move forward with greater self-compassion.

You don’t have to navigate loss alone, a therapist is on your team.
Pet Loss
The loss of a beloved pet can be just as painful as losing a human family member. Grief after pet loss may include sadness, guilt, loneliness, or even shame—especially when others minimize the loss.
​
Pet loss therapy offers a compassionate space to honor the bond you shared, process complex emotions, and grieve without judgment. Therapy can help you navigate this grief and find healing while honoring your connection.
Complicated or Prolonged Grief
Sometimes grief does not ease with time and begins to interfere with daily functioning, relationships, or emotional well-being. Maybe your loss was unique, complicated, or lacking closure. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed long after others expect you to be “better" or simply"get over it.”
​
Grief therapy provides gentle, structured support to help you process the loss while rebuilding a sense of stability, purpose, and emotional balance.
Anticipatory Grief
For caregivers and loved ones of individuals with chronic or terminal illness, grief often begins long before death—known as anticipatory grief.
​
Anticipatory grief includes not only the expectation of loss, but the many small losses along the way—changes in routines, roles, abilities, and future plans. Therapy provides space to name and process these ongoing losses, offering emotional support, coping tools, and compassion as life gradually shifts.
