You don’t have to feel alone

Therapy for grief and loss in-person in Westborough and online in all of Massachusetts

You feel alone and overwhelmed in your grief.

The pain hits without notice.

Something very painful happened. You lost someone you loved. You lost someone you thought you were going to spend your life with. You were hurt by someone you relied on. Something was a big part of life and now it’s gone. It still doesn’t feel real. But when it does, it’s gut wrenching. It feels unbearable.

Sound like you?

It’s hard to be a good partner, employee, friend while also being with these overwhelming feelings.

You have stopped talking about it because others mean well but their words often actually make you feel worse.

It still doesn’t feel real at times. Other times the pain can hit you without notice and can feel so overwhelming.

What-ifs, should haves, unknowns and regrets are constantly running through your mind.

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy is not about getting you past your grief to move on. It’s about supporting you in being with the grief as you move forward.

Something very painful happened. You don’t have to hide your grief. You do not have to be alone with your grief. There is nothing wrong with you for still grieving. Our goal in therapy will not be to take your grief away because that is not possible. We can’t change what happened.

We will work to give you space from staying stuck in the “what-ifs and should haves.” We will unravel outdated ideas about grief that just make you feel worse. We will look at what techniques will support you in staying grounded when the painful waves hit.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

Your pain is valid. There is nothing wrong with you for having it. You should not be over it by now. You are not being too sensitive.

What we’ll work on

Healing is possible.
