THERAPY FOR GRIEF & LOSS
Grief counseling for adults in Scarsdale, Park Slope and online across New York.
Grief can follow the death of someone you love, a pregnancy loss, a divorce, a diagnosis or any change that rearranges your life. It comes in waves of sadness, anger, guilt or numbness, and it rarely follows a timeline.
Our therapists offer a steady, compassionate space to grieve at your own pace and find a way to carry your loss forward.
Grieving a pregnancy loss? See infertility & pregnancy loss. Supporting a grieving child? See child therapy.
Everyone else seems to have moved on. You’re still in it.
Maybe it’s the empty chair at dinner, the phone you still reach for, or a wave that hits in the grocery store. Friends mean well, but they’ve stopped asking.
There’s no right way or right amount of time to grieve. Therapy gives you a place to set it down, without having to hold it together.

How Therapy For Grief Helps
We start where you are: who or what you’ve lost, what the loss means to you, and what everyday life feels like right now.
Depending on your needs, we draw on grief-focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and meaning-centered approaches.
Sessions are gentle and unhurried. We honor your loss while helping you find stability and connection again.
After Therapy, Clients Often…
Remember their loved one with less pain and more warmth
Feel less alone with their grief
Sleep, focus and function more steadily
Handle anniversaries and hard days with more support
Find meaning and connection again
Grief doesn’t disappear, but it can become something you carry rather than something that carries you.
COMMON
QUESTIONS
Is it too soon, or too late, to start therapy? Neither. Some people come in weeks after a loss, others years later. Whenever grief feels heavy is a good time.
How is grief different from depression? Grief tends to come in waves tied to your loss. If you feel hopeless most of the time or can’t function day to day, it may be more than grief, and we can help either way. See our depression therapy page.
Do you help with pregnancy loss? Yes. Our perinatal specialists work with miscarriage, stillbirth and infertility-related loss. See infertility & pregnancy loss.
What if I’m having thoughts of suicide? If you’re in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911 right away. We’re not a crisis service, but we can provide ongoing support.
In person or online? Both. We see people in person in Scarsdale and Park Slope, and online anywhere in New York State.
Do you take insurance? We’re private pay, out-of-network, and we provide the paperwork you need to seek reimbursement from your insurance.
