Grief Therapy in Corning, NY
Emotional Pain Is Real And It Matters
You’re Allowed to Hurt and Still Ask for Help
Grief can be incredibly overwhelming, as it takes so much more than just the person you've lost. It can drain your energy, cloud your thoughts, and shake your confidence to its core. On the outside, you may appear to be managing, going to work and checking in with loved ones, but inside, you’re carrying a heavy weight. It’s common to feel scattered and exhausted, struggling to concentrate while the pain lingers in the background. You might feel guilty for not “getting over it” fast enough or for not grieving in the “right” way.
It’s understandable to withdraw from others and avoid reminders of what you’ve lost, feeling disconnected from who you used to be.
Grief therapy isn’t about rushing you through your grief; it’s about providing a safe space for you to express those tough emotions without judgment. Together, we can navigate this difficult journey at your own pace. You’re not alone in this.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need grief therapy?
If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you can’t move forward after a loss, grief therapy can help. There’s no “right” amount of time to grieve, but if it’s interfering with daily life, that’s a good sign to reach out.
Is virtual therapy effective for grief?
Yes, our clients appreciate the comfort and flexibility of virtual sessions. You can talk to someone from a space that feels safe to you.

I’ll offer my clinical recommendations, but ultimately, you’re in charge of the pace and length of your therapy.
