Grief & Loss
Grief Isn’t Something to Get Over.
It’s Something to Move Through.
Whether you’re grieving a person, a relationship, a life path, or a version of yourself, your pain is valid. At Dreavita, our grief-informed therapists help you move through loss, without pressure, timelines, or judgment.
What Does Grief Look Like?
Grief doesn’t always look the way we expect. It can be loud or quiet, visible or hidden. You might experience:
Trouble concentrating or feeling foggy
Irritability, numbness, or emotional overload
Physical symptoms like fatigue or pain
Avoidance of people or activities
Big emotions over “small” things
Thoughts like “I should be over this by now.”
You’re not broken, you're grieving.
Our therapists meet you with compassion, wherever you are in the process.
Our Approach to Grief Therapy
Grief therapy at Dreavita isn’t about rushing you to “closure.” It’s about holding space for your experience and helping you rebuild meaning. Depending on your needs, we may use:
Narrative Therapy to help you make sense of the story you're carrying
Somatic or Mindfulness techniques to reconnect with your body
Strength-based therapy to support resilience
Trauma-Informed care to explore deeper losses
Culturally affirming grief work for identity-based experiences
There’s no wrong way to grieve. But you don’t have to grieve alone.
Identity & Grief
Many of our clients carry layered grief, losses that society doesn’t always recognize or validate:
The loss of a safe childhood
Disconnection from culture, language, or land
Grieving a body that’s changed or betrayed you
The pain of estrangement or chosen family loss
Chronic illness or reproductive grief
The quiet mourning that comes with major life shifts
At Dreavita, we offer therapy that makes space for all of it.

“No one told me grief could look like rage and exhaustion. Therapy helped me understand that I wasn’t broken, I was grieving. And that changed everything.”
FAQs

Grief and depression can overlap, but they aren’t the same. Grief may come in waves and often stays connected to a sense of meaning. Depression tends to feel more persistent and disconnected. A therapist can help you sort through both.
