When Everything Changes, You Deserve Support That Feels Grounded

Transitions can break your heart—or just break your rhythm.

Whether you’re grieving someone you love, facing the end of a relationship, adjusting to a major shift in identity or responsibility, or simply trying to find your way in a life that looks nothing like you imagined—this is a space to slow down, feel what’s real, and catch your breath.

Even “good” changes—parenthood, career growth, relocation—can bring grief, anxiety, and overwhelm. Especially if you’re the one who’s always held it together for everyone else.

You don’t have to do that here.

Who This Therapy is For

This may be a good fit if you’re navigating:

  • The death of a parent, partner, friend, or chosen family

  • Estrangement or the quiet grief of a relationship that’s still “technically” there

  • Breakups, divorce, or the end of significant friendships

  • Career shifts, burnout, or transitions in identity, gender, or purpose

  • A new chapter that feels too fast, too lonely, or too unrecognizable to celebrate

Whether your grief is visible or invisible—loud or quiet—it’s welcome here.

Why Unbothered Therapy Helps During Grief & Life Transitions

Grief isn’t always about death. Sometimes, it’s about what didn’t happen. Who didn’t show up. Or the version of you that had to change just to survive.

At The Unbothered Therapist, grief and transitions are honored with nuance and care. Our work is trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and grounded in the belief that healing doesn’t mean rushing past your pain.

Through therapy, we’ll explore:

  • How your nervous system is responding to change

  • What loss (in any form) brings up for you emotionally and physically

  • How to move through grief without minimizing it—or letting it consume you

  • Ways to create safety, structure, and softness during uncertain times

The Unbothered Approach to Grief & Transitions

There’s no “right” way to grieve, and no timeline for getting through change.

Here, therapy looks like:

  • Creating a warm, consent-based space for your story to unfold

  • Naming losses that are often dismissed or minimized—especially for BIPOC & LGBTQIA+ folks

  • Using trauma-informed tools like EMDR, grounding, and body-based support to process emotions

  • Building new routines, rituals, or boundaries that help you move forward without losing yourself

  • Holding space for both sorrow and softness—grief and growth can coexist

You Don’t Have to Move On—But You Can Move Forward

If you're feeling untethered, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to carry what you've lost, therapy can help you make space for your grief while still making space for yourself.
