Grief & Loss Counseling in Orange County and Throughout California
Grief Doesn’t Follow a Timeline.
You Don’t Have to Carry It Alone.
Grief can be heavy, complex, and incredibly isolating. Whether you’re grieving the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a major life transition, or a loss that feels harder to name, you deserve support.
At Full Vida Therapy, we provide compassionate, nonjudgmental grief counseling for adults, teens, and families across California. We offer virtual sessions that meet you where you are—whether you’re deep in sorrow, feeling stuck in numbness, or trying to figure out how to move forward.
What Grief Can Look Like
Grief doesn’t always look like sadness. It can show up as:
Numbness, disconnection, or feeling "off"
Sudden anger or irritability
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Changes in sleep or appetite
Guilt about things left unsaid
Anxiety about the future
Feeling like you're “supposed” to be over it, but you’re not
Your grief is valid, no matter how long it’s been or what caused it.
Types of Loss We Support
We work with clients navigating all forms of grief, including:
Death of a loved one (recent or long ago)
Miscarriage or infertility
Divorce or relational estrangement
Loss of identity, faith, or purpose
Career loss, retirement, or relocation
Caregiver grief and anticipatory grief
We also hold space for ambiguous and disenfranchised grief—the kind that isn’t always recognized by others but still deeply impacts your life.
Our Approach to Grief Counseling
Grief isn’t something we “fix”—it’s something we walk through. Our therapists provide:
Person-Centered, Compassion-Focused Therapy
Narrative & Meaning-Making Approaches
Psychoeducation on the grief process (normalizing the messy parts)
Mindfulness and grounding tools to manage overwhelm
Creative processing (journaling, memory work, rituals if desired)
A nonlinear, flexible approach that honors your pace and process
We don’t rush you. We witness with care.
Grief Therapy for Teens
Adolescents often grieve in quiet, confusing ways. Whether they've lost a family member, a pet, or are navigating a life-altering change, we support teens in expressing their emotions, building resilience, and feeling safe in their grief.
You Deserve Space to Mourn and Make Meaning
There’s no right way to grieve. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just need someone to talk to who understands—you're in the right place. Grief therapy is a space to be honest about the pain, reflect on what you've lost, and begin to create meaning on the other side.
