Feel stuck in overwhelming sadness or emptiness.
Grief Counseling in Brooklyn, NY
Losing someone or something important can be one of the most difficult experiences in life. Grief is a deeply personal process, and while it is a natural response to loss, it can sometimes feel overwhelming and isolating.
At Brooklyn Center for Psychotherapy, we provide compassionate support to help individuals process grief in a way that honors their emotions and fosters healing.
What Grief Looks Like
Grief isn’t just about sadness — it can bring a mix of emotions, including anger, guilt, anxiety, or even relief. Everyone experiences grief differently, and there is no set timeline for healing. While some may navigate their grief gradually, others may struggle with prolonged emotional distress.
Grief affects people in different ways, but common experiences include:
- Intense sadness, longing, or emptiness
- Difficulty concentrating or staying motivated
- Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
- Feelings of guilt or regret related to the loss
- Withdrawal from social interactions
- Physical symptoms such as fatigue or headaches
- Experiencing waves of emotions triggered by reminders of the loss
If grief feels overwhelming or is interfering with your ability to function, seeking professional support can help you find ways to cope and heal.

Death of a Loved One
