Virtual Sessions

Grief and loss therapy offers a comforting space to fully experience your feelings without judgment, caretaking, and the pressure to move on. Grief can show up as sadness, numbness, anger, guilt, anxiety, depression, fatigue, or feeling disconnected from everyday life and others. Loss can include the death of a loved one, pregnancy loss, the end of a relationship, changes in health, or a major life transition that alters what you thought your future would be.
At Rae Therapy Group, you can expect a supportive and gentle approach that meets you where you are in your grief. Together, we make room for the relationship you lost, the impact loss has had on your life, and the complex feelings that surface when you feel cracked open by grief. Therapy can also help you navigate triggers, anniversaries, and the way grief affects your body and relationships, so you feel less alone in what you are carrying.
Grief therapy offers a safe and warm space to fully experience your grief, so you can form a new relationship with it. It provides steady support as you process the emotions, memories, and changes that come with loss. Over time, many people feel less alone, less overwhelmed by waves of sadness or numbness, and more able to move through daily life without feeling like they have to force themselves to be ok.
Therapy can also help you cope with triggers, anniversaries, and the complex feelings that often come with grief, including guilt, anger, relief, regret, and fear about the future. As you make room for your loss and its accompanying feelings, many clients experience more self-compassion, improved sleep, and a deeper sense of clarity about how to carry grief and the relationship forward in a way that feels honoring and meaningful.
01
Grief therapy can help if your loss is affecting sleep, mood, focus, relationships, or your ability to function day to day. It can also be helpful if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, numb, or alone, or if people around you expect you to be ok before you truly are.
02
We support many forms of loss, including the death of a loved one, the death of a pet, pregnancy loss, infertility related grief, divorce or breakup, health changes, job loss, and major life transitions. Any loss that changes your life and sense of self deserves care.
03
Yes. Numbness can be a natural protective response when emotions feel too big to hold all at once. Therapy can help you stay connected to yourself and gently move through the grief in a way that feels safe and manageable.
04
Grief has no timeline, and may not always have an ending. Grief often comes in waves and can shift over time, especially around anniversaries, milestones, and reminders. Therapy is not about rushing the grief process, but about supporting you as grief changes and helping you carry it with less suffering.
05
Those feelings can be a normal part of grief. Many losses bring complicated emotions, especially when relationships were strained or the situation was traumatic. Therapy gives you space to name and feel the full truth of your feelings without judgment.
06
No. You control the pace. Therapy can start with what feels most present right now. Your therapist will work with you to build a sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship before exploring anything that feels too raw, triggering or painful.
07
Grief can affect sleep, appetite, energy, concentration, physical tension, relationships and other somatic symptoms in the body. It can also increase anxiety and depression, especially when complex feelings are suppressed and support is limited. Therapy can help you feel and release emotions from the body within a safe and loving relationship.
08
Absolutely. Pain and grief often come to the surface later in life when a person is ready to fully feel it, or, perhaps a current loss unlocked old grief that wasn't fully processed and experienced at the time the loss occurred. Therapy can help you process what you did feel safe to feel, make meaning of the loss, and reduce the ways it impacts your life now.
09
Yes. We offer secure virtual sessions, which can be helpful if you are overwhelmed, traveling, or prefer to meet from home. Online therapy can still provide meaningful support and connection through grief.
10
In almost all situations, what you share is confidential and not shared without your written permission. Your therapist will explain the few legal and ethical exceptions related to safety so you understand how privacy is protected.
You don’t have to keep carrying the weight of worry, fear, or overwhelm on your own. With the right support, it’s possible to quiet the noise, feel more grounded, and regain control of your life.
