The anxiety, trauma, & grief are real & valid; I know they are causing you pain.
On the outside, you're holding it all together, managing every detail with precision. But in quiet moments, it feels like things are falling apart at the edges, right? You can't sleep. Can't motivate. Eating may be forgotten more often than not. You're foggy-headed, and you snap at people you care about. You don't know what self-care looks like, let alone how to include it. You've tried everything, but nothing has worked. Don't worry; I understand that's not an excuse but a manifestation of how anxiety, trauma, and grief affect every part of you: health, sleep, appetite, and, in turn, your well-being.

There are many different types of losses, including the death of a loved one, loss of a relationship, loss of health or ability due to illness, and even loss of the life you thought you would lead.
Are you struggling to come to terms with a painful loss or changes in your life? Whether it’s the death of a loved one, a serious illness or the burden of caregiving, nothing really prepares us for grief when it arrives. The emotions may feel overwhelming and it’s natural to want to avoid them altogether. For a while you can survive by staying busy and distracting yourself, but these strategies are not sustainable forever. If you already had underlying anxiety or are a parent, grief can feel like just one more thing to manage. Healthy, active grieving is the way forward.

Grief Therapists

How long does therapy take for grief?

There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?

Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?

Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?

Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
