Heartbroken. Lost. Overwhelmed.
You feel trapped with your loss, every thought echoing your pain. Your anxiety is palpable, your thoughts scattered, and you yearn for relief.
You crave calm, but your mind refuses to cooperate. The flood of memories and emotions is relentless, sometimes pushing you toward behaviors that offer brief escape.
These actions bring momentary relief, but soon the sorrow resurfaces. It’s like battling an unending storm, leaving you paralyzed and isolated.
You might fixate on:
- Cherished moments now tinged with sorrow
- A future forever changed
- Unsaid words
- Fears of moving forward
- Guilt and helplessness
Is this just my life now? Articulating this to others can seem impossible and deeply isolating. You know this isn't sustainable, but finding solace feels hopeless.
Facing your grief head-on feels insurmountable, adding to your suffering.
Genuine relief is achievable.
With appropriate therapeutic guidance, you can begin to lessen grief's hold and start experiencing genuine relief and recovery.
Why Do We Experience Grief?
Grief is a profound reaction to loss, disrupting our sense of normalcy.
Our mind tries to protect us by keeping us hyper-aware of our loss, resulting in a cycle of intense thoughts and emotions. This well-intentioned mechanism can lead to prolonged suffering.
This is where we can help.
Therapy can address overwhelming symptoms of grief by uncovering and understanding core experiences of loss.
Our clinicians will help you process your grief, gain deeper insight, and develop healthier ways to cope.
We specialize in helping you navigate grief.
Our goal is to help you become comfortable interacting with your grief rather than avoid it.
Much of the grief work in therapy is having your grief witnessed and held by another, offering relief and healing.
Our depth-oriented therapeutic approach is designed for long-term healing, offering more than temporary relief.
By understanding the roots of your grief and developing healthier coping mechanisms, you will feel empowered to move toward healing.
Recognizing that grief is a natural response to loss will help you move forward without ignoring your feelings.
You will transition from feeling trapped and isolated to experiencing more control and liberation.
You will make sense of your internal experiences, a crucial step in your healing journey.
Let’s start processing your grief today.
If you’re ready to begin healing and moving toward a more fulfilling life, we are here to support you. Starting therapy can be intimidating, but the most rewarding journeys often begin with a difficult step.
We invite you to take that brave step today. Reach out for a free consultation. We look forward to hearing from you.

Why Choose Our Practice
We've done our own work

Frequently Asked Questions
Our rates vary depending on the therapist's level of licensure. Sessions with our associates are priced between $100 and $150, while sessions with licensed therapists range from $150 to $225 per session.
We are considered "Out-Of-Network" providers, which means we do not accept any insurance directly. We've made the decision to work directly with our clients regarding payment, and they are very satisfied with this arrangement.
If you would still like to use your insurance, then you can potentially do so if your insurance plan has “Out-Of-Network” benefits. The way that would work is, you would pay for therapy at the time of the session, and then we will provide you with a “superbill” that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
We recommend calling your insurance company to confirm if your insurance policy has OON benefits for mental health services.
Otherwise you can choose to see us privately and not involve your insurance at all. See why many of our clients choose this option below.
Most of our clients actually prefer to work with us privately and not involve their insurance at all. This is because in order to use your insurance for counseling, a mental health diagnosis is required, and this gets attached to your record. If your challenges don’t meet the threshold of a diagnosis, then insurance companies can choose not to cover your therapy.
Insurance can put limitations on the number of counseling sessions you can have, prior to truly completing the process.
An insurance company has a right to call the therapist and ask how sessions are going
At any point they can say that therapy is no longer medically necessary and cancel the coverage
If you have more questions about this, or have questions about finding your OON benefits and would like to discuss, then we recommend reaching out to us page and we'd be happy to answer any questions.
Therapy sessions typically last 50 minutes to one hour, although the duration may vary depending on individual needs and therapist availability. Your therapist will discuss session length and frequency with you during your initial appointment.
We offer a comprehensive range of therapy services including individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. Our therapists are trained in various modalities to address a wide range of concerns and issues.
