Grief Therapy for Adults in Georgia
There’s no right way to grieve. You don’t have to move on. You don’t have to carry it alone.
At The Counseling Zebra, we offer grief therapy that acknowledges the complexity of loss and the various ways it manifests in our lives. Whether your grief is fresh or decades old, named or unnamed, loud or quiet, we hold space for it with gentleness and respect.
We support adults across Georgia with virtual therapy that centers your truth and your process.
No timeline. No clichés. No “silver linings.” Just care that meets you where you are.
Who We Work With
We support people navigating:
We support adults who are grieving a death, a breakup, a trauma, a diagnosis, a shift in identity, or something they never had the words for.
We work with people navigating grief related to family estrangement, infertility, parenthood, disability, coming out, chronic illness, and more.
We support those grieving in the aftermath of injustice, medical harm, systemic violence, and disconnection from community, culture, or belonging.
We work with folks who:
Feel like their grief doesn’t “count” or isn’t valid
Are overwhelmed, shut down, or going through the motions
Are carrying grief layered with trauma, shame, or guilt
Have been told to “move on” and can’t—or don’t want to
Are wondering who they are now, or how to keep going
Want to feel connected to their grief in ways that honor their values, identity, and truth
Want therapy that can hold both sorrow and joy, pain and beauty, uncertainty and peace
You don’t need to explain or justify your grief to be here.
Whatever your story—you’re welcome.
Grief can come from losing someone you love—or someone who didn’t love you the way you needed.
It can come from endings, ruptures, transitions, medical trauma, identity shifts, or the loss of a future you were counting on.
It can be tied to family estrangement, chronic illness, miscarriage, disability, moving, religious trauma, or transition.
It can come from the long ache of never having what you needed in the first place.
Grief isn’t always about death.
It’s about disconnection, meaning, longing, love, and the ways we are forever changed by what we’ve lost.
And the world doesn’t always make space for that. Especially if you’re a person of the global majority, neurodivergent, queer, disabled, chronically ill, or carry marginalized identities that are often expected to "be strong" and keep going.
Grief Isn’t Just One Thing
What Grief Therapy Can Look Like
There’s no one way to grieve.
And there’s no one way we’ll approach this together.
Grief therapy might include:
Naming and honoring your losses—whether they’re visible, invisible, disenfranchised, or complicated
Holding space for sorrow, rage, numbness, relief, confusion, or gratitude
Exploring the ways grief shows up in your body, routines, relationships, and nervous system
Processing the non-linear waves of grief—especially when they don't make "sense"
Reclaiming ritual, memory, story, and agency around what was and what is
Making room for grief that doesn’t end—and for the possibility of still building a life around it
Supporting you through anniversaries, transitions, family strain, and collective grief
We move at your pace.
You don’t have to talk about everything all at once.
You don’t have to be okay. You just have to be you.
We don’t push for closure or follow a rigid model.
We believe grief deserves care that is nuanced, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming.
Our approach is rooted in:
Autonomy & Consent – You guide the pace, depth, and direction.
Anti-pathologizing care – We don’t treat grief as a problem to fix. We treat it as something sacred to honor.
Embodiment & nervous system support – We explore how grief lives in the body and how to gently hold it.
Creative processing – Through art, metaphor, ritual, or quiet, we make space for the unspoken
Relational safety – You won’t be rushed or asked to make your grief more palatable
Cultural humility & trauma awareness – We understand how grief is shaped by systems, identity, and intergenerational pain
We Hold Space For:
Sudden and anticipated loss
Complicated and disenfranchised grief
Chronic sorrow and ambiguous grief
Medical and reproductive grief
Grief tied to trauma, shame, or identity
Grieving relationships that were harmful, abusive, or estranged
Grief related to oppression, disconnection, or systemic harm
And the quiet, everyday ache that’s hard to name—but always there
There is no timeline.
There is no “right” way to feel.
There is no expectation to be “over it.”
Your grief deserves room to breathe.
