The death of a loved one
A spouse, parent, child, friend, or pet.
Making sense of loss,
together.
Grief and loss bookend the normal rhythm of life. Yet we often grow the most in times of great love and great suffering. Therapy helps you meet these moments with empathy and support, and make sense of it all.
- A safe space to grieve
- Individuals, couples & families
- Support through every stage
Grief and loss are inevitable.
Loss can show up in many forms, and it can disrupt life in ways that catch us off guard. We help with:
The end of a relationship
Divorce, estrangement, or a friendship that's over.
Loss of health or ability
Illness, injury, or aging that changes what life looks like.
Loss of a role or dream
A career, a home, or the future you expected.
Our culture isn't comfortable with grief.
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, of loss and new life. It's built into nature. Yet our culture focuses on staying happy and moving on quickly, which leaves little room to learn and grow from loss.
In these moments we lean on community: therapists, friends, faith communities, and others who understand. You don't have to carry grief by yourself, or on anyone else's timeline.
“Death ends a life, not a relationship.”— Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie
A safe space is priority one.
We help you hold the pain that comes with grief and loss, and watch for the new life that follows.
Hold the pain
A compassionate space to feel what you feel, without being rushed.
Make sense of it
Room to understand the loss, your story, and what it means for you now.
Find new life
Self-care strategies and support as you rebuild, because new life always springs up.
When a loss was sudden or traumatic, we can also use trauma approaches like EMDR to ease the grief that gets stuck.
What the work looks like.
Listening first
Space to tell your story at your own pace.
Self-care strategies
Practical support for sleep, energy, and hard days.
Couples and families
Help grieving together when everyone grieves differently.
Traumatic loss
EMDR and trauma-informed care when grief is tangled with trauma.
Questions about grief counseling.
Yes. Grief has no fixed timeline. If it's still getting in the way of daily life, support can help.
Yes. We work with individuals, couples, and families, especially when people are grieving the same loss in different ways.
We are not an emergency service. Call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and available 24/7. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911.
Those who keep silence hurt more.
As C.S. Lewis wrote, speaking about our sorrows helps. When you're ready, we're here to listen.
