Center for Grief and Trauma Therapy

There is a common expectation that grief has an end point. That eventually, things will return to how they were.

Many people find that grief does not resolve so much as it integrates. The loss becomes part of how we understand ourselves and our lives.

This is not a failure of healing. It is what healing often looks like.

At the Center for Grief and Trauma Therapy, we work alongside people through every stage of this process.

I’d like to enthusiastically congratulate my team in their hard earned Certificates in Grief Therapy and Meaning Reconstruction through the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition. This rigorous, rich certification program, with its
multiple available tracks (e.g., su***de loss, non-death losses, art assisted therapy, etc), requires approximately 70 hours of course attendance and written reflection, hours of mentoring, and a recorded review of clinical case and integration is all but an entire masters degree in thanatology! Well done, CGTT!!!

Grief does not always look the way we expect it to.

Sometimes it is quiet. Sometimes it arrives in unexpected moments. Sometimes it looks like functioning just fine on the outside while something is shifting underneath.

There is no single way grief shows itself. Many people find that giving themselves permission to grieve in their own way is one of the first steps toward healing.

What has your grief looked like?

Many people experience grief before a death or loss ever occurs.

Anticipatory grief can include sadness, anxiety, exhaustion, and a complicated mix of love and sorrow. It can be isolating, because the loss has not yet happened in the way others might recognize.
If you are in this place, your grief is valid. You are not alone in it.

Support is available before, during, and after loss.

Loss can disrupt the way we understand ourselves and our futures.

Meaning reconstruction is not about finding a reason for the loss or feeling better about it. It is about slowly building a new way to hold what happened and to make sense of life moving forward.
This is one of the central processes we support in grief therapy. It is not rushed. It cannot be forced. But with support, it is possible.

Where are you in making meaning of your experience?

The body holds grief in ways we do not always expect.

After a significant loss, many people notice changes in sleep, focus, energy, or even physical sensation. These responses often reflect the nervous system adjusting to a new reality.

This is not something to push through. It is something to move through, gently and at your own pace.
If you are noticing this in yourself, you are not alone.

Individual therapy creates space that is just for you.
Your experiences, your pace, your needs.

Whether you are working through grief, trauma, anxiety, or life transitions, therapy offers support that is personal and focused. It can help you understand intense emotions, build coping skills, and discover what truly supports your well-being.

You do not have to figure it all out alone. Support can be steady, compassionate, and centered on what matters most to you.

Grief can take many forms. It can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even unfamiliar, like stepping into a life you never expected to live.

You do not have to navigate that alone.

Grief counseling offers a steady place to land. A space where your loss is acknowledged, your emotions are respected, and your experience is never rushed or minimized. Together, we focus on understanding what has changed, learning ways to stay grounded in difficult moments, and finding gentle steps forward that feel right for you.

Healing does not mean forgetting. It means learning how to live, feel, and move forward while carrying what matters most.

The time is almost here.

Grief is complex. Trauma is layered. And yet, meaning can still be found.
When significant loss strikes, whether through death, serious illness, injury, or relationship rupture, it can shatter the very world we rely on for purpose and direction. This 3-day workshop is built for clinicians who want to help clients rebuild that world.

Grounded in meaning reconstruction, you'll walk away with a generous toolkit of creative techniques demonstrated through real clinical videos, case studies, and hands-on experiential practice.

April 8–10, 2026 is coming up fast. Spots are limited, and this is one you don't want to miss.

Trauma therapy is a specialized form of care that helps people safely process overwhelming or distressing experiences.

It focuses on how trauma affects the mind, body, and nervous system. Many people come to trauma therapy feeling stuck in survival mode, easily triggered, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others.

Therapy creates a structured and supportive space to build safety, learn regulation skills, understand triggers, and gradually process what has happened. The goal is not to relive painful experiences. The goal is to help the nervous system settle, restore a sense of control, and make daily life feel more manageable again.

Healing happens at a pace that feels safe and respectful of your experience.

You do not have to carry it alone.

If you are curious about trauma therapy or wondering if it might help, reach out to learn more or schedule a consultation.
