Grief Counseling Houston TX
Grief and Loss Therapy
Losing someone or something you care deeply about is profoundly difficult.
Grief can shake everything up - your beliefs, your personality, and even your sense of reality. It's normal to feel overwhelmed by waves of emotions you didn’t expect as you cope with loss.
Sometimes, you need a supportive space to express your sorrow, understand your grief, and start to find your pathway forward. That's where our grief and loss therapy can play a crucial role.
At Pear Tree Therapy, we provide grief counseling designed to help you through the darkest times of loss and mourning.
Therapy is a compassionate environment where you can discuss your feelings openly, learn how to cope with your loss, and begin to heal on your own terms.
Why Get Grief and Loss Therapy?
Grieving is a deeply personal experience, and it can be unpredictable and confusing. Grief and loss therapy offers a supportive space to navigate these complex emotions.
Whether you're dealing with the death of a loved one, the end of a significant relationship, or another form of loss, therapy helps process these feelings. It's beneficial for issues such as:
Coping with the death of a family member or friend.
Handling the complexities of unresolved emotions after a loss.
Adjusting to a new life after the loss of a significant relationship.
Dealing with feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Support is available to help you manage your feelings and regain your footing.
Grief and loss therapy isn’t only for immediate aftermath—it also supports you as you adapt over time, helping to rebuild confidence and find new meanings and purposes.
My approach to grief and loss therapy is gentle, empathetic, and personalized. We’ll work together to understand your grief, discuss your experiences, and set realistic, gentle goals to help you find stability and peace. I recognize that starting therapy can be daunting, so my aim is to make this process as comforting and supportive as possible.
Here’s what you can expect from grief and loss therapy:
A Compassionate Space: Our sessions provide a safe, judgment-free zone where you can share your deepest feelings about your loss, no matter how painful or complicated.
Practical Coping Strategies: Beyond just talking, we’ll explore tangible strategies for dealing with grief. Whether it’s managing overwhelming emotions or adjusting to daily life without your loved one, we’ll find ways to help you cope.
Personalized Support: Grief and loss therapy is most effective when tailored to your personal experience. You bring your unique story, and we’ll ensure our approach fits your individual needs, helping you to heal in a way that feels right for you.
Our time together might focus on:
Emotional Processing: Grief can bring a barrage of emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion. Therapy helps you understand and work through these emotions, not suppress them.
Rediscovering Joy: Finding joy might seem impossible right now, but through therapy, we can explore small steps toward pleasure and happiness in life again.
Building New Relationships: After a loss, forming new connections or adjusting existing ones can be challenging. We’ll work on ways to maintain healthy relationships and foster new connections when you're ready.
Through this process, grief and loss therapy can help you gradually find your footing, manage challenges, and navigate your new reality.
Whatever loss has brought you here, our grief and loss therapy can help you process it healthily.
Starting therapy can seem intimidating, especially if you’re not sure what to expect. But remember, grief and loss therapy is about creating a space where you are heard, understood, and gently guided towards healing. I’m here to support you—helping you explore your emotions and develop the resilience that will support you, now and into your future.

We are not in-network with any insurance companies, so we do not bill directly. With PPO insurance plans, we are considered out-of-network providers and you may be reimbursed in full or in part, depending on your coverage. We can provide you with a monthly superbill to give to your insurer that is a receipt of services that may meet the criteria for individual mental health diagnosis (a requirement for any insurance compensation). Please check your coverage by asking the following questions:
Does my plan provide out-of-network reimbursement for mental health?
Is there a deductible I need to meet before you will start to reimburse me?
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
What percentage of the fee do you cover?

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have certain types of health care coverage or who are not using certain types of health care coverage an estimate of their bill for health care items and services before those items or services are provided.
• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any health care items or services upon request or when scheduling such items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
• If you schedule a health care item or service at least 3 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 1 business day after scheduling. If you schedule a health care item or service at least 10 business days in advance, make sure your health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after scheduling. You can also ask any health care provider or facility for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service. If you do, make sure the health care provider or facility gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing within 3 business days after you ask.
• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more for any provider or facility than your Good Faith Estimate from that provider or facility, you can dispute the bill.
