GRIEF & LOSS THERAPY IN NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY
When something is missing and life feels different.
Grief changes the shape of daily life. It can follow the death of someone important, the end of a relationship, a shift in identity, or the loss of a future you expected. Sometimes it’s intense and immediate. Other times it’s quieter, showing up as heaviness or a sense that things don’t quite feel the same.
Grief isn't only about death.
Loss takes a lot of forms. The end of a relationship, an estrangement, a diagnosis, a move, a career shift, a part of yourself you’ve outgrown. Sometimes grief is intense and immediate. Other times it’s quieter, showing up as heaviness, disorientation, or a sense that things don’t quite feel the same.
WHAT GETS CALLED GRIEF, AND WHAT DOESN'T
Grief often shows up later than you’d expect, or quieter than you’d expect. Especially when no one around you sees the loss as a loss. That can leave you carrying something on your own that deserves to be witnessed.
Therapy here makes room for the experience without trying to compress it into a timeline or a stage chart. We work with the layers of identity, relationships, and past experiences that grief tends to touch, without judgment or expectation about how grief “should” look.
How grief and loss can show up
Grief doesn't follow a schedule. You might notice.
Waves of sadness, longing, or emptiness
Numbness, disconnection, or emotional overwhelm
Difficulty concentrating or staying present
Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy
A sense of disorientation or loss of meaning
Pressure to 'move on' before you're ready
How therapy can help with grief
Grief therapy isn't about resolving loss or making it disappear. The work focuses on making room for your experience while helping you understand how it's shaping your emotions, relationships, and daily life.
Over time, the work supports integration rather than closure, letting grief exist alongside meaning, connection, and continued movement.
OUR APPROACH TO GRIEF & LOSS
WHAT TO EXPECT
Grief + loss therapy
Sessions are steady, collaborative, and shaped around your experience of loss.
Early sessions focus on understanding what’s been lost and how grief is showing up now. The work unfolds at a pace that feels respectful and manageable.
Sessions typically last 45–55 minutes and are often held weekly, especially at the beginning.
