Grief and Loss

Grief is a deeply personal and often complex journey. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, experienced a miscarriage, ended a meaningful relationship, or are mourning the life you once envisioned, loss can leave you feeling heartbroken, disoriented, and alone. It may surface as sadness, anger, guilt, numbness—or all of the above. No matter how your grief shows up, it is valid, and it deserves support.

At United Hope Center, we provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where individuals can process grief at their own pace. There is no “right” way to grieve. Our therapists walk alongside clients, helping them explore their emotions, make sense of their experiences, and support their emotional healing.

We also offer care for those experiencing disenfranchised grief—a form of grief that may go unrecognized or unsupported by others. This can include losses such as:

  • The death of an ex-partner or estranged loved one

  • Pregnancy loss or infertility

  • The death of a pet

  • Loss of a relationship others didn’t acknowledge

  • Grieving an identity, future, or life transition

These experiences are real and painful, and they deserve acknowledgment, empathy, and space for healing.

Common signs of grief may include:

  • Emotional overwhelm, numbness, or emptiness

  • Difficulty sleeping, eating, or concentrating

  • Guilt, regret, or unresolved emotions

  • Social withdrawal or feeling misunderstood

  • Sudden emotional triggers or persistent longing

  • A search for meaning, identity, or purpose

Our team uses a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and Complicated Grief Therapy. We serve teens and adults, and offer therapy in English and Spanish to ensure all clients can express themselves in the language that feels most natural and safe.

Grief isn’t something you “get over”—it’s something you learn to carry and live with in new ways. You don’t have to walk through it alone. At United Hope Center, we’re here to offer support when you’re ready.
