Grief therapy

Grief is a deeply personal and often unpredictable experience. It can follow the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, life transitions, health changes, or even unmet expectations about how life “should” have unfolded. However it shows up for you, your grief deserves space, care, and understanding.

At Roffina Psychotherapy, I provide compassionate grief therapy for adults and adolescents throughout New Jersey via secure virtual sessions. Together, we create a supportive environment where you can process loss at your own pace without pressure to “move on” or minimize your emotions.

Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients gently explore the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that can intensify grief, including anxiety, guilt, anger, or numbness. Our work may focus on:

• Processing the emotional impact of loss
• Navigating complicated or prolonged grief
• Managing anxiety or depression connected to bereavement
• Adjusting to life transitions and identity changes after loss
• Rebuilding meaning and connection over time

Grief can also intersect with other experiences, including trauma, relationship challenges, or identity-related stress. As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I recognize that grief may carry unique layers for those navigating family rejection or community loss.

You do not have to carry your grief alone. Healing does not mean forgetting - it means learning how to move forward while honoring what mattered.

How I work with You

Every therapeutic relationship starts with understanding you, your experiences, values, and goals. This space is:

• Safe
• Inclusive
• Non-judgmental
• Collaborative

Together, you and I will explore patterns, build insight, and create skills that support long-term mental health and well-being.
