Grief Deserves More Than Just Time

At Valerie Lighthall LCSW Counseling Services, grief therapy is a space to process loss at your own pace, without pressure to move on or feel a certain way. With over 15 years of experience, Valerie works with teens and adults who are navigating grief and loss and are ready for a little more support, even if they are not sure where to start.

Sessions are available virtually across New York State and in person in Clinton, NY, with daytime availability that fits into your life without adding more to your plate.

The goal is to make getting support feel simple, not like something else on your to-do list.

Grief Doesn't Always Look the Way You Expect

Grief is not just about death. It can show up after losing a relationship, a job, a version of your life you expected, or someone who is still here but no longer the same. There is no right way to grieve, and there is no timeline you are supposed to be following.

You may notice:

An overwhelming sadness that comes in waves, even when things seem okay on the surface

Guilt, anger, or confusion about how you are handling the loss

Feeling stuck, numb, or disconnected from the people and things you used to enjoy

Difficulty concentrating, sleeping, or getting through everyday tasks

You do not need to be at rock bottom to reach out. Grief therapy can help you make sense of what you are feeling and give you a space where you don't have to hold it all together.
