Grief and Loss Therapy in the Arts District, Los Angeles and Online
For those who are tired of carrying their grief alone.
Loss has changed you. And you're still figuring out what comes next.
Maybe the loss was sudden, and you’re still moving through your days in a thick fog, going through the motions because that’s what’s expected. Maybe it was gradual, and you’ve been grieving in slow motion for so long that you’re not sure when it started. Maybe the loss isn’t death at all. It’s a relationship that ended, a version of yourself you had to leave behind, a family that was never quite what you needed it to be.
You’re carrying it quietly. On the outside, you’re showing up for your life. Inside, a part of you is standing still, waiting to be seen.
Grief slowly unravels what we thought our lives would be.
When we experience loss due to death, to illness, to estrangement, to an unrealized dream — we are confronted with one of the most disorienting experiences a human being can face. The world continues. Other people move on. And we are left holding something heavy, and often unspeakable.
You may find yourself confused by the feelings that surface: relief and guilt. Anger and tenderness. Joy and sorrow in the same breath. You may feel pressure, from yourself or from others, to grieve a certain way, or to be done with it by now.
As someone who came to this work through my own experiences of grief, including suicide loss and loss to cancer, I understand that grief rarely follows a timeline. I'm here to help you find a way to move with it, so you can continue to find meaning and connection in your life.
WITH GRIEF AND LOSS THERAPY, I CAN SUPPORT YOU THROUGH:-
The sudden, unexpected death of someone you love — through suicide, accident, overdose, or medical emergency. Traumatic loss often leaves us in a state of shock that can be difficult to name, let alone process.
-
Losing someone slowly — to cancer, dementia, or the long decline that comes with aging. Anticipated grief is real grief. It often begins long before the death itself.
-
Grief that has no clear shape: estrangement from family, the loss of a relationship or identity, immigration, the grief of growing older, of childlessness, of a life that didn't go the way you hoped.
-
Job loss. Divorce. Moving away from a place you called home. Navigating life as a young widow. These transitions carry real grief, and they deserve real support.
-
The grief that comes from navigating two worlds, and sometimes feeling fully at home in neither. The grief of unspoken family wounds and inherited silences.
About Grief Therapy
Grief work with me is not about moving through stages or reaching acceptance on a schedule. It is about building enough safety — inside yourself, and in our therapeutic relationship — to turn toward what you are carrying.
Using IFS, mind-and-body awareness, and a multicultural lens, we work with the parts of you that are holding the grief, protecting you from it, or both. We explore what the loss means to you, in the full context of who you are and where you come from.
Over time, many of my clients find that they are able to hold their grief and their life — not as opposites, but as two things that can coexist. The loss doesn't disappear. But it no longer has to define what is possible.
Grief is the voice of what is gone. Not only the people we lose, but dreams unmade, dignity frayed, pictures with empty frames.
— J.S. Park
