Let's look at how that plays out.
A Simple Path to Starting Grief & Loss
Because everything is online, scheduling flexes with your life. Early mornings, lunch breaks, evenings after the Cook County commute — your grief & loss sessions fit the hours you actually have.
In the first session, your therapist takes time to understand your history, your goals, and what brought you in. Together you set a direction, and from there each session builds steadily on the last.
Here's what that looks like in practice.

Common Questions About Grief & Loss
Do you accept insurance?
We operate on a self-pay model, which means no insurance hassles, no claims to file, and no surprise bills. Many clients prefer this for privacy (sessions don't go on your medical record) and simplicity. We offer transparent, competitive rates with flexible payment options.
How much does therapy cost?
Session rates vary by therapist and service type. We offer straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for current ratesΓÇöwe're happy to discuss payment options and ensure you can access the care you need.
How do I know if a therapist is right for me?
The therapeutic relationship is everything. That's why we offer a free consultationΓÇöso you can get a feel for your potential therapist before committing. Trust your gut. If it doesn't feel right, we'll help you find someone who's a better fit.
How long does therapy typically take?
It varies by person and concern. Some clients see meaningful progress in 8-12 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term support. We'll regularly check in on your goals and progress so you're always in control of your journey.
Is therapy really confidential?
Absolutely. Your sessions are protected by law and strict ethical guidelines. We use HIPAA-compliant, encrypted platforms for all communications. The only exceptions are mandated reporting situations (risk of harm to self or others, abuse of minors/elderly/disabled persons).
