Grief and loss · Ages 10+ and adults
Support through grief, at your own pace.
A steady place to bring a loss, whether it is recent or still hurts years later.
Therapy for grief, tailored to you
Grief has no schedule. It can follow the death of a parent, partner, child, friend or pet, a pregnancy loss, a divorce or the end of a way of life, and it can surface as sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, exhaustion or trouble functioning. There is no right way to do it.
Dr. Tania works with adults and with pre-teens and teens ages 10 and up, including complicated bereavement, where grief feels stuck or overwhelming. Her approach is integrative: relational work to make room for what you feel and what the loss meant, alongside cognitive-behavioral methods (CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based CBT and ACT) when they help. Care after fertility struggles or pregnancy loss is also part of her women's health work.

- A death, a pregnancy loss or another loss has left them struggling
- Grief feels stuck, heavier or more intense as time goes on
- Guilt, anger or "what if" thoughts will not let up
- Anniversaries, holidays or reminders bring it all back
- They have trouble sleeping, working or caring for others
- They feel they should be "over it" by now
- A divorce, a move, a diagnosis or the end of a relationship feels like a loss
- A child or teen is grieving and parents want to know how to help

Common questions
How long does grief last?
There is no set timeline, and it often comes in waves. Therapy is not about getting over a loss. It is about carrying it in a way that lets you live.
When should I seek help for grief?
Whenever it feels too heavy to carry alone. It is especially worth reaching out if grief has stayed intense for many months, or if it is getting in the way of sleep, work or relationships.
Do you see grieving children and teens?
Yes, pre-teens and teens ages 10 and up, with parents brought into the process. See therapy for pre-teens and teens.
What methods does Dr. Tania use?
She combines cognitive-behavioral methods (CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based CBT and ACT) with psychodynamic-relational work, tailored to you.
Does Dr. Tania prescribe medication?
No. She works with psychiatrists and other medical providers, can refer you to one, and with your permission can coordinate care with the providers you already see.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes, with limits set by law. The exceptions are serious risk of self-harm, risk of harm to others, abuse or neglect of a child or dependent adult, and court-ordered subpoenas. Dr. Tania talks through any such concern with you.
Does Dr. Tania take insurance for therapy?
For therapy, she is in-network with Aetna in Florida, New York, Texas and Maryland. In other states, therapy sessions are self-pay. With other insurers she is out-of-network and can give you a superbill to submit for possible reimbursement. HSA and FSA payments are accepted.
