There is no “right way” to grieve, and you don’t have to carry this pain alone.
Grief has no rules, and you never face it alone.
What Grief Can Look Like
Grief is unpredictable and appears in many ways.
- Deep sadness or longing
- Numbness or emotional shutdown
- Anger, guilt, or regret
- Difficulty sleeping or changes in appetite
- Trouble concentrating
- Fear of the future
- Feeling disconnected from others
- Relief mixed with pain
- “Waves” of emotion that come and go without warning
- Pressure to appear okay for others
- Feeling misunderstood or isolated
Types of Loss We Support
Grief can come from many places, including:
- Death of a loved one
- Loss of a relationship or friendship
- Loss of a pet or animal companion
- Divorce, separation, or breakup
- Miscarriage or reproductive loss
- Death or illness of a parent, partner, or child
- Loss of identity (job, role, independence, faith, community)
- Anticipatory grief before a loss
- Collective trauma or global grief
How Therapy Helps With Grief
In therapy, you can:
- Share memories, pain, confusion, and questions, without judgment
- Express emotions you’ve been holding in for others’ comfort
- Work through guilt, regret, anger, or “unfinished conversations”
- Learn to navigate grief triggers and waves of emotion
- Process the trauma surrounding the loss (if present)
- Honor your connection to what or who was lost
- Rebuild routines, identity, and direction at your own pace
Evidence-Based Treatments We Use
Evidence-Based Treatments
We Use
Our therapists draw from several trusted therapeutic approaches to support healing, clarity, and emotional wellbeing. Depending on your needs, your therapist may integrate:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Helps you understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can build healthier patterns and reduce distress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Supports you in noticing unhelpful thoughts, staying grounded in the present, and making choices based on your personal values.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Teaches skills for emotion regulation, grounding, communication, and managing overwhelming moments more calmly.
Solution-Focused Therapy
Focuses on your strengths, resources, and what is working to help you move forward with small, meaningful steps.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
A structured trauma therapy that helps the brain process painful memories in a safe, controlled way without needing to retell every detail.

We combine these approaches thoughtfully to match your goals, your pace, and what feels most supportive to your nervous system.
