What this experience is like in depth

Grief Therapy is a mind and emotional care approach. It is clinical psychotherapy focused on loss and bereavement. It works with the understanding that healing is not only about insight but also about what is felt, witnessed, and released in the body, relationships, and environment. In a session, you meet with a licensed therapist who specializes in grief and complicated loss. You will sit and talk, or use somatic and expressive interventions the therapist offers. This is offered one-on-one, typically 50 minutes, and this is a touch-free experience. People often choose this when they are carrying Grief, Identity Loss, and Life Transition. Over time, this work can become a way of relating to yourself with less fear and more capacity.
