Grief & Loss Therapy

 

     FOR FOLKS IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA & THROUGHOUT THE STATE     

 

The irony of grief is that the person you need to talk to about how you feel is the person who is no longer here.

 

The pain and raw emotion of grief can feel unlike anything you've experienced before. Whether you're grieving the death of a loved one, navigating a divorce, coping with a major life transition, or living with traumatic grief, compassionate grief therapy can help. Our trauma-informed therapists provide online grief counseling throughout Arizona that honors your unique experience while helping you process loss at your own pace.

At some point in our lives, each of us will experience a loss that is accompanied by grief. While grief is a natural process, it can often be dismissed in our society, making us feel even more isolated during a vulnerable time in our lives. It can become compounded if we experience several losses simultaneously. Grief can be traumatic when the loss we experience is unexpected or not peaceful.

Please know that your grief is a sacred process in therapy. You don’t have to suffer alone and we are here if you would like someone to walk this journey with you.

Non-Death Loss

While death is most commonly associated with grief, we can also experience grief when we have other losses, such as:

  • Divorce/Ending a relationship

  • Declining health

  • Life transition, such as retirement or becoming an “empty nester”

  • Loss of a job/financial freedom

  • Loss of yourself and your individuality

Grief Looks Like…

 

  • Feeling great one minute and falling to pieces the next minute

  • Avoiding things and people that remind you of your loss

  • Loss of interest in activities you previously enjoyed

  • A desire to be alone

  • Feeling like no one else understands you

  • Loss of purpose or meaning in life

  • Numbing to avoid the ongoing pain of your new reality

Our Approach to Grief and Loss Therapy

  • We accept you wherever you are at in your grief journey. Whether your loss happened last week or 26 years ago, it is never too late to grieve.

  • We hold space for ALL of your grief to be seen and heard. We sit on the floor with you when grief needs to curl up in a ball and cry. We provide pillows when grief needs to hit or punch something. We listen to stories and memories when grief needs to laugh and share.

  • There is no way around this pain. There is nothing anyone could say or do to take away this pain (but there are things people can say to make it worse!) Our goal is to help you re-establish a sense of self after the loss.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • There isn't a set timeline for grief. Every loss, every relationship, and every person is different. Some people come to therapy for a few months to help them through a particularly difficult season, while others choose longer-term support as they adjust to life after a significant loss.

    Grief isn't something you "get over." Instead, therapy helps you learn how to carry your loss in a way that allows you to reconnect with your life while continuing to honor the person or relationship you've lost.

  • Grief can look very different from person to person. You may feel overwhelming sadness one day and surprisingly okay the next. You might experience anger, guilt, numbness, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, changes in sleep, or even physical symptoms such as exhaustion or tightness in your chest.

    There is no "right" way to grieve. Whether your loss happened recently or years ago, your feelings are valid. If grief feels like it's interfering with your daily life or leaving you feeling isolated, therapy can provide a safe place to process your experience without judgment or expectations.

  • You don't have to wait until grief feels unbearable before reaching out for support. Many people benefit from grief therapy simply because they don't want to carry the weight of loss alone.

    Consider reaching out if you:

    • Feel overwhelmed by your grief most days.

    • Find it difficult to return to daily life or responsibilities.

    • Feel isolated because others don't understand your experience.

    • Are experiencing anxiety, depression, or panic after a loss.

    • Have experienced a sudden, traumatic, or complicated loss.

    • Simply want a compassionate space where you can process your grief at your own pace.

    Whether your loss is recent or happened years ago, healing is still possible. You deserve support that honors both your grief and your journey forward.

 Healing from profound grief is possible.

If you're unsure where to begin, schedule a free consultation. We'll help you determine whether grief therapy, trauma therapy, EMDR, or another approach is the best fit for your healing journey.
