PhilaTherapy, LLC. offers psychotherapy, from some our trained clinicians, to identify and process issues associated with grief and loss. Treatment plans and goal setting, unique to each client, addresses and treats difficulties with the grief cycle.
Loss and grief is a greater concern with the pandemic response limiting the way people used to grieve - together, not alone, and sometimes with the person prior to their passing. Grief work is a place to explore your feelings, the things that weren't said, the regrets that remain, to help move through the grief process.
Loss is inevitable. We all die and we all lose people, relationships, and states of being that we once loved. If we open ourselves to live an authentic, honest, interdependent life, we are sure to experience loss and grief. Many of us fear it so much that we develop a multitude of ways to avoid it, strike a connection balance that we believe will help us protect ourselves later (yet that often robs our joy in the meantime), and use substances or other numbing techniques to help us avoid the complicated process of grief. I believe we can all benefit from learning to appreciate that loss is inevitable, and to learn to grieve in a way that enables us to move forward with compassion and fulfillment.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a daunting step, especially when navigating the complex emotions of grief. Taking this step is an act of courage and self-compassion. In therapy, you'll find a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, memories, and experiences without judgment. I will walk alongside you on this journey, offering compassion, empathy, and guidance as you navigate the ups and downs of grief.
Grief and loss can be extremely isolating. As a society we are not taught how to talk about grief collectively. My role is to meet you wherever you are in your process.
I specialize in working with adults and teens (16+) in recovery from mental health conditions and life stressors. Some of these include anxiety, depression, ADHD, substance use disorders, eating disorders, loss, grief, life transitions, women's and LGBTQIA+ health issues and trauma.
