nationalshare.orgStructured grief therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps you process loss by working through the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral patterns that can keep grief feeling overwhelming or stuck. Rather than trying to move on or suppress what you're feeling, this work focuses on how the loss is actually showing up in your day-to-day and helps you adapt to it in a way that is sustainable over time.
Grief work is specialized. It requires training in evidence-based grief models for recent loss, prolonged grief, and trauma-related loss. A grief specialist knows how to differentiate normal grief from grief that is becoming stuck, how to work directly with avoidance, guilt, and unresolved aspects of the loss, and how to guide you through adapting to life after the loss.
All of our grief and loss programs are grounded in established, evidence-based treatments including Prolonged Grief Therapy (PGT) and Trauma-Focused CBT. These approaches represent the clinical gold standard for treating different types of grief and have strong research support.
All sessions are delivered virtually via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, making professional grief support accessible from anywhere in Illinois. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors.
