Therapy for Grief and Loss
IN-PERSON THERAPY IN BROOKLYN, NY.
ONLINE THERAPY IN NEW YORK, FLORIDA and VIRGINIA
A compassionate space to process grief, rediscover yourself, and heal the pain you’ve carried for too long.
Are you grieving a loss that has shaken your world, leaving you wondering how to move forward?
When the ground shifts beneath you after loss, it can feel like your entire world has changed. Grief may hit you like the loss of a vital part of yourself—an arm you’ve always relied on—and leave you unsure of how to move forward.
But this pain, as overwhelming as it feels, may also be opening the door to something deeper within you.
What You’re Feeling
Grief that feels excruciating.
A sense that everything in your world has shifted; your orbit has changed.
Hidden emotions or memories—older wounds of neglect or abandonment—are beginning to surface, stirred by this recent loss.
Who You Are
Someone who has relied on working, achievement and career to feel steady, creating a sense of control and security in life
You may have experienced early loss (such as the loss of a parent or a sibling) and you are now ready to face the deep pain of this loss.
The loss may be more recent, and the ground feels like it’s shifted beneath you, leaving you unanchored.
Despite the pain, there’s a quiet part of you that is curious, sensing that this is an opportunity to explore what lies beneath.
“Grief is not a disorder, a disease, or a sign of weakness. It is an emotional, spiritual and physical necessity, the price you pay for love. The only cure for grief is to grieve.” -Earl Grollman

FAQs

Grief therapy offers you a safe, compassionate space to process the pain of loss, especially when it feels overwhelming or stirs up unexpected emotions. For someone like you—navigating the loss of a parent or loved one—it’s common to experience layers of grief tied to earlier wounds or to find that your relationship with the person you’ve lost was complex.
In therapy, we work together to:
Understand Your Grief: Explore the unique way you experience grief, especially when it involves feelings like anger, guilt, or unresolved tension alongside sadness.
Honor Your Experience: Validate the full range of your emotions, even if they don’t fit the traditional narrative of grief, and recognize the impact of both love and challenges in your relationship with the person you’ve lost.
Connect with Your Body: Use somatic practices to gently tune into physical sensations tied to your emotions, helping you release tension and feel more grounded.
Create Rituals of Healing: Work together to create personalized rituals that honor the person you’ve lost while supporting your own healing. This could be as simple as journaling, lighting a candle, or finding a meaningful way to mark their memory.
Rediscover Yourself: Grief often reshapes your sense of identity. Therapy helps you reconnect with your values, strengths, and imagination as you navigate this new chapter.
Create a Safe Space for Anger: If anger surfaces—whether tied to the loss or earlier experiences—we’ll create ways for you to safely express and process it.
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline or a set of rules, and it’s okay to feel conflicted about the person you’re grieving. Therapy honors the complexity of your experience, helping you find steady ground and a path forward that feels true to you. Learn more.
