Grief & Loss

Are You Struggling With a Loss?

• Have you lost someone or something deeply meaningful and feel like the world has shifted beneath you?

• Are you experiencing waves of sadness, anger, guilt, or even numbness that you don’t know how to handle?

• Do you feel disconnected from others—or like no one fully understands what you're going through?

• Are you overwhelmed by reminders of your loss or stuck in memories of what used to be?

• Has your grief begun to affect your relationships, work, sleep, or ability to enjoy life?

Grief is a deeply personal experience—and healing is not about "moving on," but about finding a way to move forward. At Therapy Center of Houston, we honor the uniqueness of your loss and walk alongside you as you process pain, rebuild meaning, and reconnect with life on your terms.

Understanding Grief: It’s More Than Sadness

Grief isn’t a linear process. It may ebb and flow—showing up unexpectedly in everyday moments, anniversaries, or even long after a loss. It can affect your body, your sense of identity, and your connection with the world.

We support clients experiencing many forms of grief, including:

• Death of a loved one

• Divorce or relationship loss

• Miscarriage, infertility, or pregnancy loss

• Loss of a pet

• Loss of health, career, or major life changes

• Ambiguous loss (e.g., estranged relationships, a loved one with dementia)

Our Therapeutic Approaches

We use an integrative and personalized approach to grief counseling. Each client brings their own unique story, emotional landscape, and cultural context. Our licensed and experienced therapists draw from a variety of evidence-informed modalities to help you process your grief in a meaningful and compassionate way.

We may incorporate:

• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT):

  Helps clients access and process deep emotional responses related to loss.

• Internal Family Systems (IFS):

  Supports clients in connecting with different “parts” of themselves that may be reacting to grief in various ways (e.g., protector, inner child).

• Mindfulness-Based Strategies:

  Encourages presence and self-compassion during emotional pain.

• Existential and Meaning-Centered Approaches:

  Helps clients make sense of loss and find purpose in their healing.

• Relational and Humanistic Techniques:

  Prioritize the therapeutic relationship, validation, and nonjudgmental support.

Our goal is never to force a timeline or a process. We walk with you, at your pace, and help you explore, express, and integrate your experience of grief—so you can begin to reconnect with life in a way that feels authentic and grounded.
