Grief and loss can shake every part of your life—emotionally, mentally, physically, and even socially. Mental health therapy plays an important role during this time because it offers support, structure, and understanding when things feel overwhelming or confusing.

​

Therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental space to express emotions that are often hard to share elsewhere, such as anger, guilt, numbness, or deep sadness. Many people feel pressure to “be strong” or move on quickly; a therapist helps normalize the grieving process and reminds you that there’s no single “right” way to grieve.

 

Dr. Sandra Rodriguez-Siuts​ can help you make sense of your grief, recognize patterns that may be intensifying pain (like avoidance or self-blame), and develop healthy coping strategies. This support can reduce the risk of complicated grief, depression, anxiety, or isolation, especially when loss disrupts daily functioning or relationships.

 

​Therapy doesn’t aim to erase grief. Instead, it helps people integrate the loss into their lives and gradually rebuild a sense of stability and hope. With professional support, individuals often feel more equipped to honor their loss while still moving forward in a way that feels authentic and compassionate toward themselves.
