Grief
Grief Therapy in Houston, TX
Grief is not just sadness. It can be a disorientation of time, a hollowing out of daily routines, a sense that the world has tilted and will not tilt back. Some people cry without stopping. Others cannot cry at all. Some become busy; others stop moving.
We listen to how absence has reshaped your life, and how you are asked, by yourself or by others, to carry it.
Our clinical team of in-network psychologists can help you. In person in Houston and online across Texas.
