SPACE FOR YOUR GRIEF
Grief & Loss Therapy in Melissa, TX
You do not need to know how to explain your grief or what comes next to seek support. Megan offers individualized grief and loss therapy in Melissa and online throughout Texas, with room for your experience and pace.
UNDERSTANDING GRIEF & LOSS
Loss can change your everyday world.
Grief can follow the death of someone important to you, the end of a relationship, changes in health, or other meaningful losses. Your feelings may shift from day to day, and familiar routines or relationships may feel different.
Therapy offers space to talk about what you miss, what feels difficult, and the changes you are navigating. You do not need to make your experience fit a particular timeline or someone else’s expectations.
You do not have to make your grief easier for others to understand.
HOW IT CAN SHOW UP
Grief can take many forms.
Your experience is your own. These are some concerns you may recognize.
Waves of emotion
Noticing sadness, anger, or longing that can arrive unexpectedly.
Feeling numb
Feeling distant from your emotions or unsure how to take in what has happened.
Guilt or unanswered questions
Returning to what you wish had been different or things left unsaid.
Everyday tasks feel harder
Finding that familiar responsibilities take more energy than they used to.
Feeling alone in your grief
Wanting connection while feeling that others do not understand your experience.
A changed sense of self
Questioning your role, routines, or future after a meaningful loss.

GRIEF & LOSS THERAPY
Questions are welcome.
You do not need to know exactly what support should look like before reaching out. Here are answers to some common questions about grief therapy.
IS GRIEF THERAPY ONLY FOR THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONE?
No. Grief can follow many kinds of loss, including the end of a relationship, changes in health, or the loss of a role, community, or future you had imagined. You do not need to compare your loss with someone else’s to seek support. Megan can discuss what you are experiencing and whether her services fit your needs.
HOW DO I KNOW WHETHER TO SEEK SUPPORT FOR GRIEF?
You can seek support whenever you would like help navigating a loss. You do not need to wait until grief becomes overwhelming or until a certain amount of time has passed. Therapy may be worth considering if grief is affecting daily life, relationships, or your ability to care for yourself, or if you would like space to talk about your experience.
WILL THERAPY EXPECT ME TO MOVE ON OR FOLLOW STAGES OF GRIEF?
No. Grief does not follow a required sequence of stages, and therapy does not require you to stop caring about someone or put your loss behind you. The work can provide space to explore your feelings, the meaning of your loss, and ways to navigate daily life while honoring what matters to you.
HOW DOES MEGAN APPROACH GRIEF AND LOSS THERAPY?
Megan begins by understanding your loss, current concerns, strengths, and goals. Together, you can explore your feelings, relationships, sources of support, and the changes you are navigating. Treatment is individualized. IFS, EMDR, or other approaches may be discussed when appropriate for your needs, particularly when distressing experiences are part of the loss.
CAN WE MEET ONLINE?
Megan offers online therapy for clients located in Texas, as well as in-person sessions in Melissa. When you reach out, she can discuss availability and whether online or in-person care is appropriate for your needs. For online sessions, a private space where you can speak comfortably is important.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
You do not have to carry grief alone.
Begin with what you miss, what feels difficult, or the questions you are carrying. There is room for your experience, even when you do not know how to put it into words.
Private-pay therapy is $165 for a 60-minute session.
Carley Counseling Services is not a crisis service. If you need immediate support, call 911 or call or text 988.
