     Throughout our lives, we face many types of loss that can bring us grief and sadness. This can include the death of a loved one or a beloved pet, the pain of a divorce, losing a job, or ending a friendship. We may also grieve when our children move out, when we don’t have children, or when we watch our dreams slip away. As we age, we face the reality of our own mortality which can be daunting. In grief therapy, we explore both helpful and unhelpful emotions, thoughts and behaviors. Through this process, we seek to find our purpose and meaning, and we search for answers to life’s difficult questions.

    Kathryn Krzykala, L.C.S.W., a psychotherapist, specializes in grief and loss, as well as trauma, anxiety and depression. With certification in EMDR and as a Grief Counselor Specialist, she incorporates Mindful Self-compassion into her practice to help individuals navigate their grief effectively.
