Grief has a way of touching not only our emotions, but also our sense of meaning, purpose, and connection.
I offer holistic, trauma-informed care that blends data-based therapy, body-centered practices, and spiritual sensitivity. When words aren’t enough, I draw on my training as a certified Brainspotting practitioner to support healing at a deeper nervous system level—where the body often holds what the mind may not yet be ready to express.

I currently work with individuals recovering from trauma as well as individuals facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), family conflict, and relationship issues.
It can be hard to move forward in life when you’re being held back by the weight of the past. If you’re experiencing feelings of anger, sadness, anxiety, fear, shame- even detachment- I want you to know you’re not alone. Experiences of trauma are difficult and can often feel isolating. Together we can work toward the greater goal of reducing these feelings and making room for a better quality of life.

Nyasha Grayman, a counseling psychologist who specializes in providing private, compassionate, and culturally responsive therapeutic support to Black women navigating journeys of loss, grief, and life transitions.
As your therapist, you can trust that I am well-trained in the clinical care of grief and trauma. I am technically skilled at the integration of interventions designed to tend to your biological, psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual needs. But equally valuable is that these technical skills are informed by personal experience with traumatic loss.

I have 8 years of trauma informed experience as a clinician Skilled in treating anxiety, panic, PTSD, relational trauma, grief & loss.
2 Openings on M & F (in person/virtual). I help women to feel safe in body & mind so asking for what you need doesn't feel scary. You’re a woman, a professional, possibly a mom, and certainly an adult daughter. The roles you hold are powerful in your life, sometimes creating strain, but also a source of motivation for your growth & sense of purpose. You’re doing a lot, but feel disconnected from yourself & off. You’re a problem solver, helper, maybe a people pleaser; others turn to you for support, but right now, you feel drained, overwhelmed, and resentful because saying what you need leaves you feeling anxious, scared, or alone.

While I have a lot of experience with grief and trauma, depression and anxiety, I don't specialize in disorders or treatment approaches, I specialize in people.
The goal of therapy isn’t to ‘feel better’, although that should be one of the outcomes. The suffering we experience is rarely a malfunctioning of the brain- it is usually in response to real challenges and is an important way to prepare ourselves for a developmental leap. When we are suffering, our brains release hormones that promote ‘neuroplasticity’, our minds begin to reexamine outdated narratives, and our relationships are challenged with the need for deeper vulnerability and more skillful communication.

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.
