Grief & Loss · Tampa & Florida Telehealth

There's no deadline on grief,
and no wrong way to carry it.

Q: Is there a right timeline for grief?

No. Grief does not follow a schedule or a fixed sequence of stages, and therapy will never pressure you to be over it by a certain point. The work is about carrying the loss in a way that lets you keep living, at whatever pace that takes.

Counseling for bereavement, pregnancy loss, and the losses no one sends cards for: the person you were, the future you planned, the family you imagined.

Grief deserves space, not a schedule

Our culture gives you about two weeks to grieve, then expects you back at full capacity. But grief doesn't work on a schedule, and it doesn't move through tidy stages. It comes in waves, shows up sideways as irritability or exhaustion or numbness, and resurfaces on anniversaries and ordinary Tuesdays alike.

Counseling is not about getting over the loss. It's about having one place where you don't have to manage anyone else's comfort, where the loss can be exactly as big as it is, and where you can slowly work out how to carry it and keep living.

Not every loss is a death. The end of a marriage, an estrangement, infertility, a diagnosis that changes what your life will look like: these are griefs too, and they are treated that way here.

Losses this space is built for

BereavementThe death of a partner, parent, child, sibling, or friend

Pregnancy loss and infertility griefMiscarriage, failed cycles, and the grief of a family that hasn't come

Loss of identity or futureDivorce, estrangement, health changes, a life plan that ended

Complicated griefWhen the relationship was complicated, the grief usually is too

How Andrea approaches grief counseling

With 20 years of clinical experience, Andrea's approach to grief is unhurried and honest. No stages to complete, no reframing your loss into a lesson, and no suggestion that healing means feeling fine about what happened.

Sessions give the grief room to be spoken, including the parts that feel unspeakable: relief, anger, guilt, the things left unsaid. From there, the work turns gently toward what living alongside this loss can look like for you. If your grief is tangled up with depression or anxiety, that gets treated too. If you are in crisis, please call or text 988.
