Despite what society might tell us, grief is not 5 steps long, it doesn’t simply go away, and it’s not just about feeling sad. It is a complex, often lifelong journey of learning to live in a new reality. 

Whether your loss is brand new or years old:

This is a place for you.

 When we think of loss we tend to think of the death of a person we love. But loss is far more than that.

We experience loss not only through death, but in change, letting go, and moving forward. Our team specializes in supporting adults through loss and transition of all kinds, offering a safe place for you to process your grief and all the feelings, questions, and experiences that come with it.

You might be asking yourself…

“What’s wrong with me?”

When you’re used to feeling in control, put together, and capable, grief can be especially unnerving. Let us be the first to tell you: Nothing is wrong with you. You haven’t lost all of the strength and composure and the things that make you “you.” A large part of the grief process is learning to adjust your expectations of yourself: extending the same compassion to yourself that you would give to someone close to you. We’re here to help you learn to do that.

“What do I do now?”

Grief brings up myriad questions about the future, along with larger questions about purpose and meaning. In therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to voice these questions, process the feelings associated with them, and explore what the answers may be for you. We’ll also support you with tools, strategies, and resources that can help you plan for the future, cope with difficult or triggering situations, and find more hope in what’s ahead.

“Will I always feel this way?”

When you are in the throes of grief, it can be difficult to imagine a time you didn’t feel this way. We know that sharing the pain (and the burden of it) with someone can mean the difference between continuing to live in the overwhelm and starting to feel like there could be a path forward. This is why we do what we do: to offer a space for you to find out who you are going to be in this new phase of life.

Trauma & Grief

Sometimes, due to the circumstances or nature of a loss, trauma can accompany grief. This may show up as feelings of powerlessness or fear, upsetting or repetitive thoughts or memories, or an inability to discuss or revisit the loss. If you are experiencing traumatic grief, we will support you in both areas, using evidence-based methods such as EMDR to help you reprocess painful memories and allow for opportunities to acknowledge, heal, and move forward.

Our Approaches

The experience of grief & loss is highly individual and intensely personal. We take a flexible, multifaceted approach to therapy that allows us to best support you.

Repair and Reattachment Grief Therapy is an approach that offers the client the opportunity to repair unfinished business around the loss of their loved one and reorient their lives in a more positive way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on the way you perceive a situation and helps you manage unhelpful thinking and behavior. 

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy that teaches specific skills to manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships. DBT focuses on providing therapeutic skills in these 4 key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based method used to process traumatic or painful experiences, address current triggers, and access your mind’s natural healing processes.

“When you know about loss, you know about life.”
