How It Works
What To Expect In Session
Starting grief therapy is a step toward healing and finding a way forward. Here’s what you can expect from the process:
- Initial Consultation – In the first one or two sessions, we’ll explore your loss, emotions, and what you hope to gain from therapy.
- Personalized Healing Plan – Together, we’ll identify the challenges you’re facing and create a compassionate roadmap for processing grief.
- Weekly Sessions – Regular 45-minute sessions (or more frequent if needed) will help you work through emotions, build resilience, and find healthy coping strategies.
- Ongoing Support & Adjustments – As your grief journey evolves, so will your therapy. We’ll reassess your needs and adjust your approach to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.
