Navigating Grief and Loss: Mental Health Support and Guidance

You are not alone.

Grief is one of the most profound emotions we experience as humans, and navigating its complex layers can feel overwhelming. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a pregnancy, a relationship, or any other significant life change, you don't have to go through it alone.

At Anna C. Maling Therapy, I provide a safe, compassionate space for you to process your grief, at your own pace, with tailored support that meets your unique needs.

What is Grief?

Grief isn’t just sadness—it’s a full-body experience that can affect you emotionally, physically, and mentally. It’s a response to any form of loss, not just death, and each person’s journey with grief is unique. You may feel shock, anger, guilt, relief, or even numbness. These feelings are normal, and I’m here to help you make sense of them while providing the tools to move through this difficult time.

Types of Loss I Support:

Loss of a Loved One: Coping with the death of a family member, friend, or partner is a life-altering experience. Together, we’ll explore your emotions and find ways to honor your grief and move toward healing and integration.
Reproductive Journey Loss: Whether you've experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, infertility, or an abortion, these forms of reproductive loss bring their own unique challenges. I offer specialized support for reproductive grief in a compassionate, non-judgmental space.
Life Transitions & Relationship Losses: Grief isn’t limited to death. Divorce, breakups, adding children, career changes, or moving to a new phase of life can also trigger deep feelings of loss. We’ll work together to process these transitions in a way that honors your experience.

My Approach to Grief Counseling:

At Anna C. Maling Therapy, I use a trauma-informed, empathetic approach to help you navigate your grief. My practice is grounded in creating a space where your emotions are valid and where healing happens at your own pace. I draw from several therapeutic modalities, including:

Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Helping you stay grounded and present during moments of intense emotion.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Guiding you through reframing negative thought patterns that may arise during grief.
Narrative Therapy: Supporting you in telling your story in a way that honors your loss and moves you toward acceptance.

What to Expect in Grief Therapy:

Grief therapy is not about “getting over it.” It’s about learning to live with your loss in a way that allows you to continue moving forward. In our sessions, we’ll focus on processing your feelings, understanding the impact of your loss, and finding new ways to approach life. There’s no timeline for grief—whether your loss was recent or years ago, I’m here when you’re ready.
