What Is Grief & Loss Therapy?

Grief therapy is support for processing loss — of a person, a relationship, a role, or a version of life you expected to have.

Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and there's no timeline you're supposed to be following. This work makes space for whatever grief looks like for you, without rushing you toward 'moving on.'

Sessions typically happen weekly, in 50-minute sessions, either in person in Brooklyn or online across New York.

Signs Grief Support Might Help

Grief can show up in unexpected ways. You might be a fit for this work if:

You're grieving a loss and feel like you should be 'further along' than you are
Grief comes in waves that catch you off guard, long after the loss
You are mourning something less visible — a relationship, an identity, a future you expected
You feel guilty about how you are grieving, or not grieving
People around you seem ready to move on before you are
You want space to grieve without managing anyone else's feelings about it

There's no correct way to grieve, and no deadline for it either. Therapy makes room for grief exactly as it shows up for you.

Our Approach to Grief & Loss

We hold space for grief without pathologizing it — this is a natural response to loss, not a problem to be fixed quickly.

Using a psychodynamic and relational lens, we help you process what has been lost while finding ways to carry it that do not require you to leave it — or yourself — behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after a loss should I start therapy?

Whenever feels right to you — some people begin right away, others wait months or years. There is no wrong time to start.

What if my grief isn't about a death?

Grief applies to any significant loss — a breakup, a job, your health, or a future you expected. All of it is valid to bring into this work.

Will therapy make the grief go away?

No, and that is not the goal. The goal is to help you carry the loss in a way that lets you keep living fully alongside it.

How long does grief therapy typically last?

It varies widely — some clients come for a few months around a specific loss, others longer if grief connects to other patterns. We'll follow your pace.

Do you offer online grief support?

Yes — sessions are available online for clients anywhere in New York.
