Find Compassionate Support Through Grief and Loss

What Is Grief and Loss?

Grief is the natural, complex response to losing someone or something important to you. Loss can come in many forms — the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, major life transitions, or even the loss of a sense of safety or identity. Everyone’s grief journey is unique, and there is no “right” way to grieve.

Common feelings associated with grief include:

Deep sadness or emptiness
Anger, guilt, or regret
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
Numbness or disconnection from others
Anxiety or fear about the future
Feeling overwhelmed or stuck

If these feelings resonate, it’s important to remember you are not alone — grief is a process your mind and body naturally work through, and support can make that process easier.

Our Approach to Grief Counseling

At New Light Counseling, we specialize in grief therapy that honors your individual experience and supports healing through connection, understanding, and evidence-based methods. We believe healing happens in relationship — where you feel safe, heard, and validated.

Whether your loss is recent or long-standing, our therapists use a personalized, trauma-informed approach that may include:

Narrative Therapy — to help you tell your story and find meaning after loss
Somatic and Mindfulness Techniques — to reconnect with your body and regulate overwhelming emotions
Relational and Attachment-Focused Work — to support healing through connection and safety
Compassionate Talk Therapy — to explore your feelings honestly in a non-judgmental space

We honor your identity, values, and unique grief journey, ensuring therapy is collaborative and paced to you.
