At NY Mental Health Center, we understand that grief is one of the most profound and complex emotional experiences a person can face. Whether you’ve lost a partner, a parent, a child, or another deeply loved person, navigating life in the wake of that loss can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and at times, impossible. You don’t have to go through this alone.
Our team of highly experienced psychologists and psychiatrists offers specialized, compassionate grief counseling through our premier teletherapy platform—designed to meet you where you are, both emotionally and physically. With an average of 18 years of post-academic clinical experience, our providers are uniquely positioned to help individuals process loss and begin to heal, regardless of the circumstances surrounding their grief.
Understanding the Grieving Process
Grief is not linear. You may cycle through a range of emotions—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance—as outlined by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, or you may experience these emotions in a completely different order or intensity. At NY Mental Health Center, we tailor your care to your unique emotional journey, never forcing a framework but rather supporting you as you find your own path to healing.
Grief can show up in unexpected ways: some people cry, others withdraw or laugh unexpectedly. You may find yourself feeling forgetful, having trouble sleeping, overeating or under-eating, or even turning to substances for comfort. Our clinicians are skilled in identifying these signs and working with you to build healthy coping strategies that honor your emotions while moving toward recovery.
Our Approach to Grief Counseling
We offer individualized, evidence-based grief therapy in a format that fits your life. Through secure telehealth sessions, you can speak with a therapist or psychiatrist from the comfort and privacy of your own home. Our therapeutic modalities may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
- Narrative and expressive therapies.
- Guided mindfulness and meditation.
- Trauma-informed support.
- Support for complicated grief or grief-related depression.
When appropriate, we offer collaborative care that includes both therapy and medication management. This integrated model—our gold standard—has been shown to significantly improve therapeutic outcomes.
We also offer virtual bereavement groups tailored to specific types of loss, including:
- Parents grieving the loss of a child.
- Children or teens who have lost a parent.
- Survivors of suicide or traumatic loss.
