If I Let Myself Cry Will I Ever Be Able to Stop?
Healing from Grief and Loss
Grief is not a problem to solve. It's a relationship that evolves. And it's one of the places where I see the most profound transformation, not because we remove the pain, but because we change your relationship to it.
Grief comes in many forms: the loss of a person, a relationship, a dream, a version of yourself, or a life you thought you'd have. Some of the most complex grief comes from losing someone who also hurt you and navigating those two truths at once. Traumatic grief from a violent or sudden loss means navigating grief symptoms and trauma symptoms together.
You don't have to do this alone.
"Grief isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's a sign that something mattered."
-Ruth
What we work on together:
Making space for and having support with the full range of feelings and experience.
Moving through complicated grief, overwhelm, guilt, and feelings that others have not validated.
Finding a new relationship with what you've lost, one that honors both the love and the pain.

Moving forward does not mean you don’t care. The goal of grief therapy is to support you during times of loss and build a new relationship with grief, one that honors both the love and the pain.

No. Ruth Weinberg's approach to grief counseling has no prescribed timeline and no right way. Her role is to be someone who makes space for anything you bring into the room: the anger, the guilt, the complicated feelings, the pain, the moments that don't look like grief is 'supposed' to look. Ruth Weinberg will hold space for all of it and encourage you to take the time that it takes.
