What is grief?
Grief is a natural response to loss. While often associated with death, grief can also follow other significant losses—the end of a relationship, a career change, a health diagnosis, or other life transitions. Grief can show up as sadness, anger, numbness, physical symptoms, or a mix of emotions that come and go in waves.
How can therapy help with grief and loss?
Therapy offers a safe space to express your feelings without judgment. A therapist can help you process complex emotions, understand your unique grieving process, and find ways to cope with the pain while still honoring what you've lost. Therapy doesn't aim to "fix" grief but to support you through it.
What should I expect when working on grief in therapy?
Your therapist will create space for you to share your experience at your own pace. Sessions may involve talking about your loss, exploring the emotions that arise, and developing ways to cope with difficult moments. There's no timeline for grief, and your therapist will meet you where you are without rushing the process.
How do I find a therapist for grief and loss?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who work with grief and loss. Each therapist has an intro video so you can get a sense of their warmth and style before booking. Credentials are verified during onboarding. Book a free consultation to see if a therapist feels right for you.
Is grief therapy right for me?
If you're struggling with a loss—whether recent or from years ago—therapy can provide support. You don't need to be in crisis to seek help. Grief can resurface at unexpected times, and having professional support can make a meaningful difference in how you process and move through it.
