Find Healing After Loss
Understanding Grief and Loss
Grief is a natural, deeply human response to loss. It can follow the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a health diagnosis, or any major life change that alters your sense of normal. Grief is not something to simply “get over”—it’s something to move through, with support and compassion.
At Metro Psychotherapy & Counseling, we help adults and young adults navigate grief in all its forms. Whether your loss is recent or long past, therapy can help you process what you’re experiencing, understand why it feels so difficult, and begin to live life in a meaningful way with loss as part of your story.
How Grief Manifests
Everyone experiences grief differently. For some, it shows up as sadness or longing; for others, as anger, guilt, or numbness. Grief may come in waves, sometimes unexpectedly, affecting sleep, appetite, energy, and focus. It’s common to feel alone, even when surrounded by others.
Common experiences include:
Intense sadness or emptiness
Guilt, anger, or confusion
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
Changes in appetite or motivation
Isolation or loss of interest in daily life
These reactions are not signs of weakness—they’re part of the grieving process. Therapy provides a safe, understanding space to work through them at your own pace.
Our Therapeutic Approach
Healing after loss doesn’t mean forgetting or “moving on.” It means learning to carry your loss in a way that allows life to grow around it.
Our therapists help you process the complex emotions of grief—sadness, anger, longing, guilt, and love—at a pace that feels right for you. Therapy focuses on understanding what this loss means to you, why it has shaken your sense of identity or direction, and how to rebuild life around that loss in a way that feels authentic and meaningful.
While our work draws from evidence-based frameworks like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based approaches, the heart of grief counseling lies in helping you make sense of your experience—not to move on, but to move forward with compassion and purpose.
Group Therapy for Grief and Loss
Healing often happens in connection. In addition to individual therapy, Metro Psychotherapy & Counseling offers virtual grief and loss support groups where participants can share their stories, learn coping tools, and connect with others who truly understand.
