Reaching out for therapy can feel like a daunting step, especially when navigating the complex emotions of grief. Taking this step is an act of courage and self-compassion. In therapy, you'll find a safe and supportive space where you can explore your feelings, memories, and experiences without judgment. I will walk alongside you on this journey, offering compassion, empathy, and guidance as you navigate the ups and downs of grief.
Loss can be very painful. Because of this, grief and loss are often seen as disruptions to our lives. We work very hard at either avoiding them, rushing to get through them or feeing overcome or flooded by them. We work on making sense of these and understanding them better in our work together.
We have many therapists who are experienced in working with loss and grief. Please take a look at our general statement here and our website: https://talkingworkscounseling.com/
I have extensive experience working with the bereaved. I have worked with many kinds of loss, including divorce, loss of home, and incarceration, as well as death. I have specific areas of expertise in palliative care, loss within helping professions, COVID loss, and pet loss.
At Tona Therapy, we specialize in supporting individuals experiencing loss and grief through compassionate and personalized approaches. We understand that loss can deeply impact your emotional well-being and daily life. Our therapists utilize trauma-informed, body-based modalities, and mindfulness practices to help you navigate the complex emotions of grief. We provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can process your feelings, honor your unique journey of healing, and find ways to integrate your loss into your life. Our goal is to support you in finding meaning, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope as you navigate this challenging time.
We will discuss the wound and what the loss means and what steps might be taken if that is the path forward. Gestalt empty chair work and imaginal exposure are likely techniques.

Grieving can be a difficult process, and experiencing a loss is a time when many people seek outside support. Often, friends and family struggle with supporting us through the difficult process of grieving, and a professional can offer the support you need. Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, you can learn how to cope with emotions that arise as a result of loss. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, you can work through the grieving process and how it may be impacting your life.
