Grief & Loss Therapy

Honor your loss and find a path forward

Understanding Grief

Grief is the natural response to loss—and loss takes many forms. While death of a loved one is the most recognized type of grief, we also grieve divorces, job losses, health changes, friendships, and the loss of dreams or expectations.

There's no right way to grieve, and there's no timeline for healing. Grief therapy provides a space to process your feelings, honor what you've lost, and gradually find a way to carry your grief while also moving forward with your life.

Grief & Loss FAQs

How long does grief last?

There's no set timeline for grief. Some people feel better after a few months, while others grieve for years. Grief also isn't linear—you may feel better and then have difficult days. Therapy helps you navigate your unique grief journey.

Is there something wrong with me if I'm not 'over it' yet?

No. The idea that grief follows predictable stages or has an endpoint is a myth. You don't get over significant losses—you learn to carry them differently. Therapy can help if you feel stuck, but grieving for a long time doesn't mean something is wrong.

What is complicated grief?

Complicated grief is when grief significantly interferes with daily functioning for an extended period. It may involve intense yearning, difficulty accepting the loss, or feeling like life has no meaning. Specialized therapy approaches can help with complicated grief.

Can you help with grief that isn't about death?

Yes. We help with all types of loss—divorce, job loss, health changes, major life transitions, estrangement, and more. These losses deserve acknowledgment and support just as much as death.

What if my grief is connected to trauma?

Grief and trauma often overlap, especially with sudden or violent losses. Our therapists can address both grief and trauma, using approaches like EMDR therapy when appropriate.

Do you offer telehealth for grief therapy?

Yes! We offer virtual therapy sessions throughout Arizona and Utah. Many people find it comforting to attend grief therapy from the privacy of their own home.

What if I feel guilty about moving on?

Guilt is a common part of grief. Many people worry that feeling better means forgetting or betraying the person or thing they lost. Therapy helps you understand that healing doesn't mean forgetting—you can hold both grief and hope.
