Grief & Loss
In-person therapy at two Chicagoland locations.
Virtual therapy anywhere in Illinois.
"Grief can feel lonely and crushing, and it’s also an active reminder of our ability to love. You don't have to go through this alone."
Nicole Rea, MA, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
When Your World Stops Turning
Grief can make you feel like you’re stuck in a freeze-frame while the rest of the world keeps spinning.
We’re talking about an aching void where laughter once lived, especially after losing someone like a child, partner, sibling, or friend. The silence after a miscarriage or the shock of a suicide can make your heart feel like it's trapped under ice.
Your friends and family, as much as they want to help, might stumble over their words, deepening that sense of being utterly alone in a crowd.
Here to Walk Through It With You
Imagine having a place where your pain isn't just heard—it's felt.
We’re going to explore your sorry, name every sharp edge of it, and find ways to hold it without letting it consume you.
We’ll walk through the isolation, not with empty platitudes but by building bridges back to the world with support groups, meaningful books, and personal rituals that light a candle in your darkest nights.
Why Choose Us?
We don’t just offer sympathy; we offer solidarity and steps forward.
Together, we'll navigate the rough waters of grief with a blend of compassion and practical tools, aiming not just to heal but to transform your pain into a path toward hope and renewal.
Who this therapy is for:
Anyone 12+ experiencing recent or long-term grief
Those who feel lost and alone in their grief
Anyone seeking a guide through the darkness of grief
