GRIEF & LOSS Therapy
Support for Loss, Change, and What Comes After
Grief doesn’t follow a neat timeline. It can come in waves, show up unexpectedly, or linger long after others expect you to be “okay.”
Petal & Peak Mental Health offers grief therapy in Denver, Colorado, with in-person sessions in Southwest Denver and telehealth available statewide across Colorado. We work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults who are navigating loss and want a place where their grief is taken seriously.
When Grief Feels Heavy, Complicated, or Hard to Name
You might be seeking grief therapy if you’re experiencing:
Persistent sadness, numbness, or emotional exhaustion
Difficulty concentrating or getting through daily responsibilities
Feeling disconnected from others or unsure how to talk about your loss
Waves of anger, guilt, anxiety, or longing
A sense that life has shifted in ways you don’t yet understand
Grief doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it shows up quietly… as fatigue, withdrawal, or a feeling that something essential has been lost. Therapy can help you make sense of that experience without rushing it.
Our Approach to Grief & LOSS
At Petal & Peak, grief therapy is not about “moving on” or finding closure. It’s about creating space for what you’ve lost, understanding how it’s affecting you, and learning how to carry grief without being overwhelmed by it.
Our therapists work collaboratively and at your pace. We help you:
Talk about your loss in ways that feel honest and supported
Understand how grief is showing up emotionally, physically, and relationally
Make room for grief without letting it define everything
Navigate changes in identity, relationships, and meaning
Find ways to live alongside grief as life continues to unfold
To support this work, we draw from well-established therapeutic approaches, chosen thoughtfully rather than applied rigidly. This may include:
Narrative-informed work to honor the story of who (and what) you’ve lost
Motivational Interviewing to support movement when grief feels immobilizing
Acceptance- and skills-based approaches to manage emotional intensity and overwhelm
Reflective therapy to understand how this loss is affecting you now, emotionally, relationally, and in how you see yourself moving forward
You don’t need to grieve “the right way” or know what you need going in. Therapy is grounded in real conversation, care, and respect for the complexity of loss.
Types of Grief and Loss We Work With
Grief takes many forms. We support clients navigating:
Loss of a loved one, including parents, partners, siblings, friends, or chosen family
Relationship loss, such as breakups, divorce, or estrangement
Grief related to pregnancy or family expectations
Chronic illness, disability, or chronic pain, including grief for a life you expected
Caregiving and anticipatory grief, when loss is ongoing or approaching
Career, identity, or role loss, including retirement or major life changes
Moving and relocation, including loss of community or belonging
Disenfranchised grief, when your loss is minimized, unrecognized, or misunderstood
If your grief feels invisible or hard to explain, it still belongs here.
Who Grief Therapy Is a Good Fit For
We work with clients ages 15 and older who want support that is:
Thoughtful rather than prescriptive
Emotionally attuned without being overwhelming
Grounded in respect for personal, cultural, and relational context
Our approach is especially helpful for people who want space to grieve without being rushed, fixed, or pathologized.
