Grief Therapy
Understanding grief
Grief is a normal response to loss, and it can show up as sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, or even physical exhaustion. There is no single right way to grieve. Grief therapy gives you support and tools to carry your loss in a way you can live with, without rushing or minimizing what you feel.
If your grief is persistent and impacting your ability to live your life, this is a sign that it may be time to seek professional help. Additionally, if you find yourself feeling isolated and alone, are unable to get out of bed, or feel like you can’t go on, it is important to reach out to a trusted friend or family member or to a mental health professional. There is no right or wrong way to cope with grief, but seeking help when needed can help you to navigate the process more effectively.
Seeking professional mental health support can be an invaluable tool in helping you to cope with grief, embrace the present, and move forward in life.
The process
How grief therapy helps
You do not have to “get over” a loss to feel better. Together we will make room for what you are feeling, find healthy ways to cope with the hardest days, and gently reconnect you with the present and the people and things that still matter. When a loss is tied to trauma or sudden circumstances, EMDR can help ease the most painful memories.
Is it right for you?
Grief is not only about death
Grief can follow many kinds of loss: the end of a relationship, a job or identity, a move, a diagnosis, or a future you expected. All of it is valid, and all of it is welcome here.
