Grief Counseling | Somatic Psychotherapy for Grief and Loss in NYC
Honoring the sacred
work of sorrow
Grief is the body’s sacred response to loss. It arises when someone we love dies, when a dream dissolves, when a relationship ends, or when the world shifts beneath us.
As Francis Weller writes, grief is “the soul’s tribute to what we’ve loved.” It asks not to be solved, but held, with presence, reverence, and care.
Your grief is welcome here
At Somatic Psychotherapy, we offer body-centered grief counseling that honors grief as a sacred, relational, and emotional process.
In a culture that rushes us through pain, we slow down. We listen to the body. We make space for all forms of grief—spoken or unspoken, loud or quiet, sudden or delayed.
Grief is not something to “get over.” It’s a threshold. A rite of passage. And when held with care, it can reconnect us to compassion, meaning, and the deepest parts of ourselves.
You’ve lost someone, something, or some part of your identity—and don’t feel “okay”
Signs You May Be Grieving
You feel overwhelmed by emotion, or afraid to let it in
You’re carrying sadness, numbness, or fatigue you can’t explain
You experience tightness, heaviness, or emptiness in your body
You feel disconnected from your body, community, or spiritual life
You long for ritual, meaning, or space to honor what’s been lost
You’re grieving in secret—because others have moved on, or never knew
You don’t know how to grieve, but you know you need to
