Many of the concerns that bring people to therapy can be traced back to some form of grief — not only the death of a loved one, but also grief related to relationships, identity, health, fertility, life transitions, a healthy childhood, or unmet expectations.
When grief is unrecognized or unsupported, it often shows up as anxiety, depression, emotional numbness, irritability, significant self-criticism, poor boundaries with family or friends, or feeling stuck.
Working with a grief counselor allows space to name and honor these losses, work through repressed emotions, explore healthy ways for coping, and build capacity for meaning-making.
Trauma Counseling
Trauma counseling helps individuals understand and heal from experiences that have overwhelmed their ability to cope, whether related to a single event, ongoing stress, or accumulated losses. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a research-supported approach that helps the brain reprocess traumatic and grief-related memories, making them feel less intense and disruptive in daily life.
EMDR can support both trauma and grief healing by reducing emotional reactivity, strengthening nervous system regulation, and allowing meaningful experiences to be integrated rather than avoided.
