We all experience grief at some point in our lives. However, it’s one of those experiences that can make you feel stuck in your life. It can affect your relationships, your sense of stability, your identity, and even your body. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a person, a relationship, a loved one, or a version of yourself you can’t return to, you don’t have to carry the burden of grief alone.
We understand that grief is not one universal experience. It’s a mix of emotions, physical sensations, memories, and changes that can feel impossible to sort out on your own. Contact us today if grief is making living your life how you want to live it seem impossible.

What Grief Can Look Like
Grief affects everyone differently. You may notice:
- Feeling overwhelmed, numb, or disconnected
- Difficulty concentrating or feeling present
- Changes in sleep or appetite
- Waves of sadness or anger that feel unpredictable
- Pulling away from relationships or desperately wanting closeness
- Guilt, confusion, or a sense of “I should be doing better”
- A loss of meaning or identity
- Struggles with intimacy or sex
- Feeling like “everyone else has moved on” but you haven’t
Grief is not a sign of weakness. It’s a sign that something deeply important has changed.
Types of Grief We Work With
Our team is experienced in supporting people through many forms of grief, including:
Loss of a loved one
Whether expected or sudden, the absence can feel disorienting and overwhelming.
Relationship or attachment loss
Breakups, divorce, estrangement, or the slow loss of emotional connection.
Traumatic or complicated grief
Losses that feel unfinished, shocking, or tangled with trauma.
Identity and life-transition grief
Loss of a role, identity, dream, or future you once imagined.
Health-related or anticipatory grief
Changes in your own health or the declining health of someone you care about.
Loss within the LGBTQ+, polyamorous, or kink communities
We provide affirming support for unique relational structures, identity-related grief, chosen family loss, and community-based grief.
Grief intertwined with sexuality or intimacy
Changes in desire, connection, trust, and sexual expression can be part of the grieving process.
Secondary or hidden grief
The kind others may overlook: career shifts, financial loss, aging, infertility, or ending an important chapter in life.
How Grief Therapy Helps
Grief isn’t something you “get over.” It’s something you learn how to live with, with more steadiness and compassion for yourself. Therapy gives you a place to show up honestly — no pressure, no need to pretend you’re okay.
Here’s what we focus on together:
- Making sense of what you’re feeling
- Reducing the isolation and shame that can come with loss
- Understanding how grief is affecting your body, energy, and relationships
- Working through trauma tied to the loss
- Exploring how your identity and roles have shifted
- Rebuilding meaning in your own time
- Learning ways to handle the waves when they hit
- Finding your way back to connection, intimacy, and pleasure
You don’t have to carry this by yourself, and you definitely don’t need a polished story when you walk in. We’ll figure it out together.
