We have many therapists who are experienced in working with loss and grief. Please take a look at our general statement here and our website: https://talkingworkscounseling.com/
We will discuss the wound and what the loss means and what steps might be taken if that is the path forward. Gestalt empty chair work and imaginal exposure are likely techniques.
Loss can be very painful. Because of this, grief and loss are often seen as disruptions to our lives. We work very hard at either avoiding them, rushing to get through them or feeing overcome or flooded by them. We work on making sense of these and understanding them better in our work together.

Grieving can be a difficult process, and experiencing a loss is a time when many people seek outside support. Often, friends and family struggle with supporting us through the difficult process of grieving, and a professional can offer the support you need. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with emotions that arise as a result of loss. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, you can work through the grieving process and how it may be impacting your life.
Grief can be a part of transitioning though any number of life changes or events whether it be the loss of a loved one or an experienced milestone. Are you missing what life was like before, or the things you were looking forward to that now may not happen? Adjusting to a “new normal” is not easy. We never "get over" the loss of a loved one, but you can learn to live with this loss alongside life's joys as the experience it woven into the fabric of your life. My years of experience supporting families and children with acute and or chronic illness in an inpatient pediatric hospital setting has greatly informed my approach to grief work and supporting families through the unimaginable.
Loss is a part of life, but sometimes it becomes so overwhelming that we lose touch with ourself, our goals, our people, etc. We are here to help you hold your loss or grief so that you can start taking steps forward in your life.

We all experience loss at one point in our lives, but that doesn’t make it easier. Whether you’ve experienced the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or something else meaningful to you, loss can leave us feeling alone, depressed, confused, and empty. I have extensive experience working with children and adults who have experienced loss and complicated grief. I provide a safe, gentle, and non judgemental environment and use a mix of trauma focused cognitive behavioral and insight oriented interventions. Through our work together you will begin to process and understand your grief experience, learn coping skills to get you through the day, honor what you have lost, and to ultimately heal.
*Free Consultation* One of the hardest truths to accept is that everything and everyone is impermanent. Loss is devastating, whether it's the loss of a loved one, a job, or a relationship, but it is an inevitable part of life and one with which we can learn to accept and experience without prolonging our suffering. I work to help clients differentiate between pain and suffering and gain the necessary insight and tools to honor and express their pain without allowing it to derail and control them. While supporting you during your process of healing and acceptance, we will work to help you manage feelings and reactions to a death or significant loss. I offer a 15 min free consultation, so please reach out to see if we're a good fit!
