Grief, Loss & transitions Therapy NYC, NY

Time can help with loss and difficult adjustments, and emotional support along with effective NYC counseling can also be beneficial. Psychotherapy and support for grief, loss, and difficult transitions using EMDR therapy, CBT, and supportive psychotherapy can help you heal and move forward.

There are many different kinds of losses, and many other reactions to these changes because healing from grief and loss is never a linear process. There is no right or wrong way to move through difficult transitions and loss.

Over your lifetime, you will likely encounter periods of significant change and challenge, which will result in emotional distress. Any kind of sudden life challenge can be hard to navigate alone. Some are fortunate enough to have a good family, friends, and community support system, but not everyone has this blessing. Sometimes, devastating personal or professional circumstances require the help and guidance of a professional to work through any trauma. Therapy and counseling are beneficial in helping individuals cope, develop resilience, and heal from these life events.

These challenges can leave you feeling: anxious, stressed, worried, depressed, alone and isolated, unable to sleep or relax—all symptoms that can impact the quality of your life and your relationships. In addition to supportive therapy, I use techniques such as EMDR therapy or Somatic Experiencing skills to help reduce the impact and lingering symptoms of trauma on the nervous system following events such as a loss or difficult transition. All experiences of loss or challenge fundamentally change us, you don’t have to manage it alone.

Some of the major life transitions we face include:

• Death of a loved one or other loss

• Diagnosis of acute or chronic physical illness

• Change in health status

• Starting or ending romantic relationships

• Marriage or divorce

• Becoming a parent

• Children leaving and empty nest

• Transition to college or graduate school

• Change in career status

• Change in financial circumstances

• Change in lifestyle or status

• The experience of a traumatic event

• A personal or professional crisis

• Loss of a pet

• Feeling less vital with age

Recovering and healing after loss…

During times of loss, grief, or other challenging transitions, it’s hard to get through a day without physical symptoms such as pain and exhaustion, as well as hopelessness, feeling lost or “numb.” Friends and family often don’t know how to respond to loss in helpful ways. You might even feel judged as others tell you that you should be moving forward with your life. Counseling offers a safe place to process your emotions and feel supported as you heal and begin to feel stronger.

Losing something or someone is complicated for many reasons. Loss, especially when significant to the individual, requires processing complex feelings and emotions and allowing yourself to grieve the loss or change(s) in your life. The healing process is different for everyone, as is the time required to heal. Psychotherapy can help you better manage and prioritize the ordinary aspects of your life, especially when the smallest things that need attending to feel overwhelming.
