The approach
How grief counseling works
There is no right way or timeline to grieve. Phil combines a warm, client-centered approach with practical, evidence-informed tools, including cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and body-based (somatic) work, so you have support for both the heavy moments and everyday life.
Step 1
Make room for the loss
Talk about the person or the change you are grieving, and what this season has been like, without pressure to be further along.
Step 2
Ease what feels unmanageable
Build tools for the waves of grief, from sleepless nights and guilt to hard days at work and difficult conversations.
Step 3
Carry it forward
Find ways to honor what you lost while reconnecting with the people, routines, and meaning that help you move forward.

Grief counseling FAQs
Is what I am feeling normal?
Grief looks different for everyone. Sadness, anger, guilt, relief, and numbness are all common, and they can come and go for months or years. Counseling helps you make sense of it.
When should I start grief counseling?
Whenever you are ready. Some people reach out soon after a loss, and others come in months or years later when grief resurfaces or feels stuck.
Do you help with losses other than a death?
Yes. Grief can follow divorce, a miscarriage, a diagnosis, a job loss, or a major life change. Any loss that matters to you is worth support.
Can I do grief counseling online?
Yes. Telehealth sessions are available for clients living in Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Florida, Washington, or Virginia.
What does a session cost?
Sessions are $175 for 45 minutes or $210 for 60 minutes. Phil is an out-of-network provider and can give you a superbill to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards can often be used for therapy as well.
