Support that keeps pace with your grief.
Support for the loss you are carrying
Whether the loss was recent or years ago, here is what the work can look like. Your counselor sets the pace with you, and there is no set number of sessions.
Grief counseling
One-on-one sessions for adults grieving a death: a parent, partner, child, friend, or someone whose place in your life was hard to name. We talk about the person, the days since, and what is hard right now.
Grieving as a couple
When a loss lands on two people differently, sessions give each of you room to speak and to hear the other. It is a place to understand each other, not to assign blame.
Sudden and difficult losses
After a death that was sudden, or that left questions or tangled feelings, we go slowly and begin with what feels steady. Body-aware, somatic work is part of this when you want it.
Overwhelm and exhaustion
Grief can bring restlessness, racing thoughts and tiredness. We look at practical ways to steady a day alongside the deeper work of grieving.
Other losses
A marriage ending, a job, a move, a change in health, a pet, a home. Losses that nobody sent flowers for still count, and still deserve room.
What grief counseling is, and is not
Grief counseling is steady company while you carry a loss, with room for whatever you feel. It is not a way to get over it, a timetable for moving on, or a search for the bright side. It does not replace care from your doctor, and it does not ask you to let go of the person you lost.
Relational at the core
Healing happens in connection. The relationship between us is part of the work.
Body and mind together
Grief shows up in sleep, appetite and energy as much as in thoughts. We pay attention to both.
Grief is not a defect
Sadness, anger, numbness and guilt after a loss make sense. We make room for them rather than trying to fix them.
