Grief and Loss Counseling in Paris, NY.

I am committed to helping my patients cope with grieving the loss of a loved one by encouraging them to express their emotions and helping them find meaning in situations that are often tragic. I try to employ a patient approach to help with the essential task of adjustment to such sudden change. Grief therapy also involves the loss of body parts, body functions and adjustment to an illness which is often life threatening

I offer a compassionate space where the weight of sorrow can be acknowledged without judgment. I gently support clients in exploring how loss affects their emotional, physical, and relational worlds, and I help them navigate the complex waves that often arise. With steady presence and an emphasis on emotional safety, I guide clients toward integrating their grief rather than feeling pressured to “move past” it. Over time, this process allows meaning, connection, and self-compassion to naturally re-emerge, supporting healing at a pace that feels right.

Everyone grieves differently which means that coping with loss looks differently and varies from person to person. At Transformation Counseling Services our therapists are specially trained to help you move through the stages of grief and work through your loss. If you are experiencing grief related symptoms we are here to help. Please contact us for a free consultation.

Grief is a deeply painful and often lonely and scary process to experience. Depending on the severity of your loss, it can impact every aspect of your life, like a giant ball in the box that is your life. Every time the ball hits the wall of the box it hurts. Over time, the ball gets smaller and doesn't impact every aspect of your life. However, when it does bounce against the wall it hurts just like it did in the beginning. With the right understanding of how grief it ebbs and flows over time and the space to allow it to be expressed, one can begin to heal.

In supporting clients through grief and loss, I provide a compassionate and non-judgmental space where individuals can openly express their emotions and process their pain. Grief is deeply personal, and I work with each client to honor their unique journey, offering guidance as they navigate the complexities of loss. Together, we explore feelings of sadness, anger, confusion, and even moments of hope, helping clients move toward healing at their own pace. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment that fosters emotional expression, resilience, and eventually, a renewed sense of meaning and connection

Often clients reach out to a psychotherapist when there is a death or separation in a relationship. Chris provides Grief and Loss counseling and Psychotherapy where empathy and caring help clients get emotional closure to help them move forward. A sudden death and loss can causes a person to have increased anxiety and depression and limit functioning. Chris has worked with numerous clients to heal and move forward through effective counseling and psychotherapy in New York. Clients benefit from talking out their feelings where I help them get closure and provide the skills to move on and enjoy life again.

Losing someone or something you love is profoundly painful. One of the greatest myths we hear is that “time heals all wounds.” In reality, time often deepens the ache unless we give ourselves permission to grieve. Healing requires space to mourn, honor what has been lost, and gently begin to carry it in a new way. It is my privilege to walk alongside clients as they move through grief toward healing, meaning, and peace.
