Grief and Loss

Grief is a natural response to loss. It is powerful and unpredictable. Some moments are calm. And at other times, the waves of grief are so overwhelming that you struggle to catch your breath. Grief can leave you sad, disoriented, angry, and exhausted. It can leave you questioning the meaning of life, and your own purpose. And as much as you want the pain of loss to end, you might also feel that your grief is the only thing keeping you connected.

Why treatment is important

Grief is universal. Whether it be the death of a loved one, a divorce or breakup, or the loss of a career, no one is exempt from the pain of loss. While grief is experienced differently by each person, all grievers have a need for their grief to be witnessed. That is, to have their feelings seen, heard, and acknowledged, without judgment. Not only does having grief witnessed reduce the isolation and loneliness that is common in grief, but it also helps to make loss feeling more bearable, and meaningful.

The loss happens in time, in fact in a moment, but its aftermath lasts a lifetime.
— Elizabeth Kübler-Ross

Our approach

We are here to create a supportive, safe space that allows you to explore your feelings, and to make sense of your loss, without judgment or pressure to grieve a certain way. During our work and depending where you are in your grief journey, we may draw from narrative, cognitive-behavioral, or attachment-based therapies to aid your grief journey.
