What Is Grief Therapy?

Grief therapy offers support to help individuals process emotions related to loss. It is not about “moving on” or forgetting; rather, therapy for loss and grief focuses on understanding, accepting, and integrating grief into your life in a way that allows for healing.

Through personalized counseling, we help clients work through emotions such as sadness, guilt, anger, and confusion while finding ways to honor their loss and move forward.

How Bereavement Therapy Can Help

Bereavement therapy provides specialized support for those who have lost a loved one. The grieving process looks different for everyone, and our therapists offer individualized guidance to help you cope in a way that feels right for you. We provide grief and loss support through:

Creating a safe space to express emotions without judgment
Helping you understand the stages of grief and how they may affect you
Addressing feelings of guilt, regret, or unresolved emotions
Addressing complicated grief that can arise when the loss is related to a relationship that involved a history of conflict, cutoffs, mixed emotions
Addressing ambiguous grief related to mourning something intangible such as the loss of an expected future, identity or role in life.
Offering coping strategies to manage daily life while grieving
Supporting the adjustment to life after loss, at your own pace
