Feel the Comfort of Grief Therapy From the Heart
You're held here in your experience of grief and loss
Feel Understood and Safe to Come As You Are
There is no universal experience that can define grief and loss. It can be such an overwhelming and complex time that can feel so isolating. If you're here right now, we want to start by sending so much love your way and acknowledge that strength that pulled you to get curious about what support may look like. We're here to walk alongside you, offering a compassionate space where you're seen, heard, and validated—just as you are.
Grief is deeply personal. You may be stepping into the beginning of a loss experience, or finding that grief has been a part of your story for some time now. We hold space for you whether you've lost a loved one, a family member, a relationship, or even a part of yourself that you're grieving. We’re here with arms wide open to offer a gentle, understanding presence as you explore your feelings (yes, that includes everything from fierce anger to complete sadness) at your own pace and equip you with support that offers an anchor when you may feel like you are drowning.

You Don’t Have to Have It All Figured Out
If you're thinking, "I should be over this by now," or "What if I'm not grieving the right way?" you are not alone because the grief journey can be uncomfortable AND while annoying, there is no timeline or rulebook on how to do it. Grief can feel like whiplash between moments of feeling like you're actually doing okay to questioning everything. You are SO seen in any way that your body and mind are seeking comfort.
Wherever you’re at right now, grief therapy creates a space to come with whatever emotions are showing up, and help you process the waves that will naturally ebb and flow over time. You can trust that we will never rush your healing process, tell you how to feel, or judge you.
Grief and Loss Therapy Can Look Like:
Coming exactly as you are and feeling safe to allow whatever emotions are present to be fully seen with absolutely no judgement and all the compassion
Understanding why certain emotional and physical responses to grief arise and learning to navigate them to feel grounded
Knowing you can completely trust someone to be by your side and learning tools that help manage any overwhelming sadness, anger, or guilt (or literally anything other feeling)
Feeling relief that your therapist has the utmost respect for any way you want to honor your loss, while finding a path forward that feels authentic to you
Giving yourself permission to explore what the future can look like as you reconnect with life while still holding space for your grief
Gaining skills, coping techniques, and guidance to manage the waves of grief
For Anyone Feeling More Curiosity Around Grief Therapy
Finding a healing approach based on what you need most
Part of honoring the unique nature of everyone's journeys with grief is providing grounded and compassionate support that meets you where you're at. You may be in a place where you want to go deeper into the experience of loss or feel guarded right now and are only ready to step in slowly. You may also want to explore trauma in the aftermath of loss, or need to move gently into areas you haven't yet been able to access within yourself. Our goal is to help you navigate it all with the care and attention you deserve, following your lead.
Some forms of grief you may resonate with include:
Complicated grief that feels unpredictable and chaotic
Intense sadness that lingers for a long period of time
Feeling disbelief during unthinkable tasks like funeral arrangements and going through a loved one's things
Grief tied to a traumatic event that adds additional impacts as time goes on
Grief that we push away through numbing with food, alcohol, drugs or other substances (even if it's not total substance abuse)
Feelings of shock and fear
A range of emotions that arise from the end of a relationship with someone meaningful
Feelings of guilt associated to the type of loss experienced
Disenfranchised grief that feels unvalidated by social norms and society
It would be impossible to write out every type of grief because no two people will process exactly the same. We show the diversity in grief and loss experiences to demonstrate that there's really no one way to go about healing. We continuously seek out and learn about new grief therapy techniques to bring into our safe space together for interpersonal therapy.
A gentle form of therapy rooted in understanding
We’re not just here to listen—we’re here to truly understand the depth of your pain and loss. Professional help doesn't have to mean losing a grip on how you want to step into this chapter of life. It's completely understandable to feel nervous or cautious especially if it's your first time in therapy.
Our approach blends humanistic therapy with holistic healing techniques to help you ease in with whole-hearted support. This means we may introduce mindfulness, somatic practices, or other avenues of support if they could be helpful to various stages of grief you're resonating with.
Compassionate talk therapy can offer a safe, validating environment for exploring grief
Mindfulness techniques and different ways to access the present moment can help you stay grounded and present, even in difficult moments
Somatic awareness practices can help to connect with the physical sensations of grief and release tension from the painful process of coping with loss
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help reframe negative thought patterns that may arise during the grieving process
Trauma-informed therapy can be used when needed to process traumatic experiences and complex emotions that may come with loss
Together, we’ll explore what resonates most and be a trusted source of referrals if group therapy, alternative bereavement counseling, or a specific support group if that's what can help you feel completely held.
Frequently Asked Questions: Grief Counseling Houston and Online
-
Grief therapy is so deeply personal, so we look to create a compassionate and human-centered experience that pulls in the specific tools and research-based approaches to meet you along the way. While we completely resonate with that pull to want the best care for your person as you navigate what grief and loss mean to you, know that finding someone who can tailor their therapy lens to exactly what you've moved through and are entering into now is going to be the best way to find healing that's best for you.
-
Grief is heavy and it's only natural to seek ways to feel relief from the weight we can carry around. For some people that may look like experimenting with various coping mechanisms or ways to disconnect from the emotions that feel depleting.
Finding a healthy way to cope with anything you may feel right now is less about the exact activity you turn to and more about acknowledging those feelings we're trying to escape. By doing that, we can begin to practice accepting where we're at and turning to methods that help us feel connected to ourselves without judgement.
That may look like slowing down and starting a mindfulness practice for some, while others may need something more active like a time to get creative and express emotions through art. It may take time to try things out, but you never have to do it alone. Social support is often a valuable tool to learn about new coping skills based on the many emotions of grief.

Absolutely. The grief process doesn’t always look like we expect, and sometimes, it may not even feel like grief at all. You might feel numb, anxious, or disconnected. You might resonate with major depression leaving you with no memory of your last good night's sleep and a total loss of appetite. You might have symptoms of traumatic grief that's impacted your mental health for years. You might feel a sense of peace that keeps you moving through each day, even as you grieve this moment of transition. Or, you might have absolutely no idea how to explain what your mind is processing.
In any form of grief, know we'll be right by your side as you find meaning in your story and help you find the language to talk through whatever you're feeling knowing there's no “right” or “wrong” way to grieve. There is only your own way.
