Grief & Loss

Services > Grief & Loss

Something changed. Someone is missing. And you’re trying to figure out how to move forward. You don’t have to go through loss alone.

Relationships, jobs, hopes, and expectations all make up different parts of ourselves, and when they’re gone, it can be very difficult to move forward and adjust to reality. Grief is a natural reaction to the loss of anything that you care about. The grieving process can be very heavy, as trying to sort through very complicated and painful emotions is no walk in the park.

Whatever your loss may be, it is valid and you deserve the space to be able to process it. Being able to understand and process your grief is an essential step in your healing journey.

At Essentially You, our well-trained mental health therapists will meet you exactly where you are. Every individual has a different experience with grief; therefore, our therapists will work to help you discover your individual needs during this time. At Essentially You, our therapists help you navigate through your loss in a healthy manner. They will help you unpack moments and experiences of loss, navigate through the complicated emotions that are the aftermath of grief, and help you adjust to your “new normal” in a warm and safe space. Our therapists will not ask you to move on; rather, they will help you move forward.

FAQ

1. Do I have to know how to move forward before asking for help?
No. You can seek support while you are still trying to understand what has changed and what you are feeling. You do not have to navigate loss alone.
2. Can I talk about a loss that happened some time ago?
Yes. You can discuss a loss that continues to affect you, regardless of when it happened. Your therapist will learn about your experience and what you would like support with now.
3. How do I get started with therapy?
Getting started is easy. Contact our practice to request an appointment, and our team can help you determine the best next step based on your needs, availability, insurance, and preferences.

If you’re not sure what type of therapist or service you need, that’s okay. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. Our team can help connect you with a therapist who is a good fit.

4. How do I know which therapist is right for me?
Finding the right therapist is an important part of successful treatment. We consider factors such as your concerns, goals, preferred therapeutic approach, availability, location, etc.

If you’re unsure who would be the best fit, our team can help guide you.

5. What happens during my first appointment?
Your first appointment is an opportunity for you and your therapist to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, understand your concerns and goals, and begin developing a plan for treatment.

You don’t need to prepare a perfect explanation of everything you’re experiencing. Your therapist will guide the conversation.

6. Do you offer telehealth?
Yes. We offer telehealth appointments for eligible clients, subject to clinical, insurance, and other applicable requirements.
7. Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We are an insurance-based mental health practice and work with participating insurance plans.

Because insurance participation can vary by therapist, service, location, and plan, we recommend contacting our office to confirm whether your specific insurance plan can be used for your requested service.

8. How long will I need therapy?
The length of treatment varies significantly from person to person.

Some people seek therapy for a specific situation or period of their lives, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist will work with you to determine what makes sense for your goals rather than assuming everyone needs the same amount of treatment.

Your mental health starts with you. Let us help you on your journey.
