Grief Therapy in New York

Grief is a multi-faceted emotional response to loss that affects us not just emotionally but physically and spiritually, causing a range of symptoms like inflammation, sleep disturbances, and questioning of beliefs.

There are different types of grief, such as anticipatory grief and disenfranchised grief, each with its unique experiences and challenges, which can lead to a range of emotional and physical symptoms.

We offer professional grief counseling, that uses evidence-based treatments such as CBT and CGT to support individuals and families in navigating grief and its impact on mental health.

Grief is not a uniform experience. It manifests in various forms, each bearing its unique characteristics and challenges. For instance, anticipatory grief is the grief felt in anticipation of a loss, such as when a loved one is terminally ill. This form of grief can stir up feelings of anger, anxiety, and guilt, making it hard to focus on anything else.

Conversely, disenfranchised or ‘hidden’ grief is a form often overlooked or invalidated by society. This can occur in situations where the loss isn’t socially recognized, leading to a lack of public support and requiring the person to grieve in silence. Comprehending these various forms of grief can equip us to navigate our grieving process more effectively and extend support to others.
