Grief isn’t something you “get over”—it’s something you learn to carry differently over time. In therapy, we help you process the emotional impact of loss, understand how it’s affecting your identity and relationships, and find support as you integrate what’s been lost while continuing to live.

Carlsbad, California therapist: Michelle Bourgerie, marriage and family therapist
Grief

Michelle Bourgerie

Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
When grief sits in your throat, and feels like fear, it can stop you in your tracks. Sometimes a song, smell, or a photo will bring a flood of grief. When you are still going to work or have to continue keeping home and kids on schedule, grief gets stuffed down deep. You might be wondering when you'll start to feel like yourself again, when you will stop feeling distracted and forgetful. You may wonder how long you can keep stuffing the grief in order to get through the day. If you're drinking at night to cope, or not sleeping at all or too much, you need extra support. Grief is a journey that no one should travel alone. You'll be okay, I've walked with so many through their grief and loss. You don't have to know the phases of grief and how to process it, because I do, and I can help you. It's a privilege to help you navigate profound grief and to help you honor your loved one as we work together to help help the color come back into your life, and even joy.

Encinitas, California therapist: Gabriel Lowe, psychologist
Grief

Gabriel Lowe

Psychologist, PhD
Everyone experiences loss, and grief is the normal responses we have to those losses. There is no one right way to grieve, but going through the grieving process can be disorienting and lonely. To further complicate things, grief can be concrete (a person, place, or thing) and it can be abstract (hopes, dreams, expectations). Depending on the season of grief we are in, we may need someone to talk to, someone to help us move forward, or someone simply to be there with us.

Grief
