Wondering What the Therapy Process Looks Like? We Got You.
1. Intake
Your first session is a space to talk about your loss and what has been weighing on you. We discuss what daily life looks like right now, how grief is affecting you, and what you hope support will provide.
2. Assessment
As sessions continue, we explore how grief is showing up emotionally, physically, and relationally. This helps clarify what feels most disruptive and guides a plan that fits your experience.
3. Treatment
Sessions focus on processing your loss, understanding your reactions, and building ways to manage overwhelming moments. Therapy respects your pace and does not rush the grieving process.
4. Integration
Over time, we work on adjusting to life after loss while honoring what has changed. This stage supports rebuilding routine, reconnecting with others, and finding steadiness again.
5. Follow-Up and Ongoing Support
Grief does not follow a timeline. Some people attend for a shorter period, while others benefit from continued support. We reassess together and adjust as your needs evolve.
