Therapy for Grief & Loss
A place where grief can be spoken about honestly, without pressure to move on or feel a certain way.
When You're Living With Grief
It can bring waves of denial, disbelief, confusion, shock, sadness, longing, anger, despair, or guilt.
Sometimes grief follows the death of someone you love. Other times it comes from a relationship ending, a major life change, or a loss that’s difficult to fully name.
You might feel like the world has shifted in ways that others can’t quite see. Or that you're expected to “move on” when the loss is still very present.
In therapy, we make space for grief to unfold at its own pace. Rather than trying to rush past it, our work invites you to be in relationship with the loss, discovering what remains meaningful even in the midst of what’s missing.
Over time, many people begin to find new connection, meaning, and a sense of life slowly returning.
You Can Bring The Hard Stuff Here
I’m Stuart Jeckel, a licensed psychotherapist who has spent years sitting with people in the raw and often uncomfortable realities of grief.
Through both therapy and community grief gatherings, I’ve learned that even the most painful emotions can be held, explored, and slowly transformed when they’re not faced alone.
My work draws from several traditions that support this deeper process:
• Psychodynamic Therapy – We explore what emerges in conversation, gradually noticing patterns in emotions, relationships, and inner life that shape how you experience the present.
• Attachment & Neurobiology – Early relationships shape how our nervous systems experience safety, connection, and loss; therapy can offer a new relational experience that supports healing and stability.
• Contemplative Psychology – This approach trusts that each person carries an inherent wisdom, inviting us to listen to emotions and experiences rather than immediately trying to fix them.
• Somatic Awareness – Grief and memory often live in the body, and paying attention to breath, sensation, and physical experience can reveal feelings that words alone cannot reach.
At the center of this work is the therapeutic relationship itself, where difficult emotions can be explored safely and meaningfully over time.
